Cardiac specific expression of Xenopus Popeye-1

Popeye genes code for putative transmembrane proteins that are predominantly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Here we report on the isolation and expression of a previously unknown Xenopus member of this family, Xenopus Popeye-1 (Xpop-1). Xpop-1 is 60-65% identical to other vertebrate Pop-1 genes at the protein level. Whole-mount in situ hybridization studies revealed a highly specific e...

POPeye : A System Analysis Simulator for DRAM Performance Evaluation

− We implemented POPeye (Probe of Performance + eye), a system analysis simulator to evaluate DRAM performance in a personal computer environment. When running any real-life application programs such as Microsoft Office and Paint Shop Pro on Windows OS, POPeye simulates detailed transactions between a CPU and a memory system. Using this tool, we comparatively analyzed the performance of a DDR-S...

The Popeye Domain Containing Genes and cAMP Signaling

3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger, which plays an important role in the heart. It is generated in response to activation of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Initially, it was thought that protein kinase A (PKA) exclusively mediates cAMP-induced cellular responses such as an increase in cardiac contractility, relaxation, and heart rate. With the identification...

The iron paradigm of pulmonary arterial hypertension: Popeye knows best.

The Campsicnemus popeye species group (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) from French Polynesia.

A new species-group (the popeye group) of the mega-diverse dolichopodid genus Campsicnemus from French Polynesia is described to include six new species: C. craigi Evenhuis, sp. nov.; C. elinae Evenhuis, sp. nov.; C. meyeri Evenhuis, sp. nov.; C. moorea Evenhuis, sp. nov.; C. pectinatus Evenhuis, sp. nov.; and C. popeye Evenhuis, sp. nov. Keys to Campsicnemus species groups in French Polynesia ...
