Topology/alg. Geometry Seminar

1PM: Oleg Viro (Stony Brook). Multifields (fields with multivalued addition), base fields of tropical geometries. Abstract:In many classical number sets (e.g., complex numbers, real numbers and non-negative real numbers), there are remarkable structures of multifield. Replacing the tropical max-plus semifield in the foundations of tropical geometry by a multifield simplifies the structure of tr...

ALG-2, a multifunctional calcium binding protein?

ALG-2 was originally discovered as a pro-apoptotic protein in a genetic screen. Due to its ability to bind calcium with high affinity it was postulated to provide a link between the known effect of calcium in programmed cell death and the molecular death execution machinery. This review article discusses the current knowledge on the structure and potential function of this protein. Several puta...

Developmental Characterization of the MicroRNA-Specific C. elegans Argonautes alg-1 and alg-2

The genes alg-1 and alg-2 (referred to as "alg-1/2") encode the Argonaute proteins affiliated to the microRNA (miRNA) pathway in C. elegans. Bound to miRNAs they form the effector complex that effects post-transcriptional gene silencing. In order to define biological features important to understand the mode of action of these Argonautes, we characterize aspects of these genes during developmen...
