interpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
15 صفحه اولFetal hyperinsulinemia increases farnesylation of p21 Ras in fetal tissues.
Even though the role of fetal hyperinsulinemia in the pathogenesis of fetal macrosomia in patients with overt diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus seems plausible, the molecular mechanisms of action of hyperinsulinemia remain largely enigmatic. Recent indications that hyperinsulinemia "primes" various tissues to the mitogenic influence of growth factors by increasing the pool of prenylate...
متن کاملPeptidomimetic isoform selective nNOS inhibitors
T he discovery of the cyclic nucleotides 3',5'cyclic monophosphate (cAMP, Prod. No. A 9501, A 4137) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP, Prod. No. G 7504, G 6129) led to the first formulation of the second messenger concept. These cyclic nucleotides are now known to be ubiquitous intracellular second messengers that mediate the response of cells to a variety of extracellular stimuli ...
متن کاملv-K-ras leads to preferential farnesylation of p21(ras) in FRTL-5 cells: multiple interference with the isoprenoid pathway.
The isoprenoid pathway in FRTL-5 thyroid cells was found to be deeply altered on transformation with v-K-ras. A dramatic overall reduction of protein prenylation was found in v-K-ras-transformed cells in comparison with the parent FRTL-5 cells, as shown by labeling cells with [3H]mevalonic acid. This phenomenon was accompanied by a relative increase of p21(ras) farnesylation and by a decrease o...
متن کاملActivated Drosophila Ras1 is selectively suppressed by isoprenyl transferase inhibitors.
Ras CAAX (C = cysteine, A = aliphatic amino acid, and X = any amino acid) peptidomimetic inhibitors of farnesyl protein transferase suppress Ras-dependent cell transformation by preventing farnesylation of the Ras oncoprotein. These compounds are potential anticancer agents for tumors associated with Ras mutations. The peptidomimetic FTI-254 was tested for Ras1-inhibiting activity in whole anim...
