NLRP7, a Nucleotide Oligomerization Domain-like Receptor Protein, Is Required for Normal Cytokine Secretion and Co-localizes with Golgi and the Microtubule-organizing Center

Paxillin localizes to the lymphocyte microtubule organizing center and associates with the microtubule cytoskeleton.

Paxillin is a focal adhesion-associated protein that functions as a multi-domain adapter protein, binding several structural and signaling molecules. alpha-Tubulin was identified as an interacting protein in a two-hybrid screen using the paxillin C-terminal LIM domain as a bait. In vitro binding assays with glutathione S-transferase-paxillin demonstrated an interaction of alpha-tubulin with the...

Oligomerization Domain-like Receptor TLR and Nucleotide-Binding

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor NLRC5 is involved in IFN-dependent antiviral immune responses.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) are a group of intracellular proteins that mediate recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or other cytosolic danger signals. Mutations in NLR genes have been linked to a variety of inflammatory diseases, underscoring their pivotal role in host defense and immunity. This report describes the genomic organization and r...

Analysis of Tub4p, a yeast gamma-tubulin-like protein: implications for microtubule-organizing center function

gamma-Tubulin is a conserved component of microtubule-organizing centers and is thought to be involved in microtubule nucleation. A recently discovered Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene (TUB4) encodes a tubulin that is related to, but divergent from, gamma-tubulins. TUB4 is essential for cell viability, and epitope-tagged Tub4 protein (Tub4p) is localized to the spindle pole body (Sobel, S.G., and ...

designing and validating a textbook evaluation questionnaire for reading comprehension ii and exploring its relationship with achievement

در هر برنامه آموزشی، مهم ترین فاکتور موثر بر موفقیت دانش آموزان کتاب درسی است (مک دونو و شاو 2003). در حقیقت ، کتاب قلب آموزش زبان انگلیسی است( شلدن 1988). به دلیل اهمیت والای کتاب به عنوان عنصر ضروری کلاس های آموزش زبان ، کتب باید به دقت ارزیابی و انتخاب شده تا از هرگونه تاثیر منفی بر دانش آموزان جلوگیری شود( لیتز). این تحقیق با طراحی پرسش نامه ارزیابی کتاب که فرصت ارزیابی معتبر را به اساتید د...
