Uroplakin IIIb, a urothelial differentiation marker, dimerizes with uroplakin Ib as an early step of urothelial plaque assembly
Urothelial plaques consist of four major uroplakins (Ia, Ib, II, and III) that form two-dimensional crystals covering the apical surface of urothelium, and provide unique opportunities for studying membrane protein assembly. Here, we describe a novel 35-kD urothelial plaque-associated glycoprotein that is closely related to uroplakin III: they have a similar overall type 1 transmembrane topolog...
متن کاملHuman uroplakin Ib in ocular surface epithelium.
PURPOSE To investigate the expression and localization of the human gene encoding uroplakin Ib in ocular surface epithelium. METHODS The full-length cDNA of human uroplakin Ib was isolated from a cDNA library of human corneal epithelium, and the expression of uroplakin Ib in various tissues was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In cornea and conjunctiva, th...
متن کاملRapid communication: PstI, HindIII, and TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the bovine Uroplakin IB gene.
Polymorphisms. PstI, HindIII, and TuqI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the bovine Uroplukin IB (UPKlB) gene. Source and Description ofProbe. The UPKlB probe is a .5-kb PCR product encoding a 27-kDa bovine Uroplukin IB protein associated with the urothelial asymmetric unit membrane (Yu et al., 1994). The insert was radiolabeled with [ c Y ~ ~ P I ~ C T P to a specific activit...
متن کاملTwo Novel Chaos-Based Algorithms for Image and Video Watermarking
In this paper we introduce two innovative image and video watermarking algorithms. The paper’s main emphasis is on the use of chaotic maps to boost the algorithms’ security and resistance against attacks. By encrypting the watermark information in a one dimensional chaotic map, we make the extraction of watermark for potential attackers very hard. In another approach, we select embedding po...
متن کاملSystemic Treatments for Mesothelioma: Standard and Novel
OPINION STATEMENT Systemic therapy is the only treatment option for the majority of mesothelioma patients, for whom age, co-morbid medical illnesses, non-epithelial histology, and locally advanced disease often preclude surgery. For many years, chemotherapy had a minimal impact on the natural history of this cancer, engendering considerable nihilism. Countless drugs were evaluated, most of whic...
