Phenylalanine metabolism and "phenylketonuria" in dilute-lethal mice.
M I C E homozygous for the dilute-lethal (8) gene have been reported by COLEMAN (1960) and RAUCH and YOST (1963) to have low liver phenylalanine hydroxylase activity. This deficiency in phenylalanine metabolism has been reported to be due to the presence of an inhibitor of the hydroxylase localized in a particulate fraction of liver (15,000 x g sediment). These investigators have pointed out th...
متن کاملsynergistic effects of sub-lethal concentrations of deltamethrin on lead acetate toxicity in japanese quail (coturnix japonica)
the purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis weather the combination of lead acetate and deltamethrin can enhance avian toxic effects produced by lead exposure only. overall, 48 japanese quails, coturnix coturnix japonica (15 day old) were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups of 12 birds each and sex ratio of 1:1. experimental groups consisted of control japanese quails, b...
متن کاملUsing Lethal Mutation to Study Development
The proper development of an embryo from a fertilized egg has long posed a fascinating and difficult question. To examine complex processes, biologists often use genetic approaches, which involve collecting mutant organisms that differ from the normal or “wild-type” organism. In studying developmental biology, a geneticist’s approach involves looking for mutant organisms that display an obvious...
متن کاملMutation Induced Extinction in Finite Populations: Lethal Mutagenesis and Lethal Isolation
Reproduction is inherently risky, in part because genomic replication can introduce new mutations that are usually deleterious toward fitness. This risk is especially severe for organisms whose genomes replicate "semi-conservatively," e.g. viruses and bacteria, where no master copy of the genome is preserved. Lethal mutagenesis refers to extinction of populations due to an unbearably high mutat...
متن کاملLethal neonatal rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome with a new mutation in BRAT1
Rigidity and Multifocal Seizure Syndrome, Lethal Neonatal (RMFSL) (OMIM# 614498) is a rare and recently characterized epileptic encephalopathy that is related to variants in the BRAT1 gene (Breast Cancer 1-associated ataxia telangiectasia mutated activation-1 protein). In this report, an RMFSL case, who died in the 10th month of the life, with rigidity, drug-resistant myoclonic seizures in the ...
