Gem GTPase: between a ROCK and a Hard Place
نویسنده
چکیده
Gem GTPase is a member of a protein family that includes Rad, Rem and Rem2. Although until recently precious little was known about the function of Gem, recent studies have revealed that Gem may influence cell morphology by antagonising the actions of the Rho GTPase effector protein ROCK I.

Gem GTPase and tau: morphological changes induced by gem GTPase in cho cells are antagonized by tau.
A series of observations have indicated that tau, one of the major microtubule-associated proteins, is involved in neuronal cell morphogenesis and axonal maintenance. Tau is also the major component of paired helical filaments found in brains affected by Alzheimer's disease. To explore an as yet unidentified role of tau in vivo, approximately 11,000 mRNAs were profiled from tau-deficient mouse ...
متن کاملIntroducing hard rock TBMs’ downtime analysis model with reference to past case histories’ data
The study of downtime and subsequently machine utilization in a given project is one of the major requirements of an accurate estimation of TBM performance and daily advance rate. Interestingly, while it is very common to report the components of downtime when discussing a tunneling project in the literature; there has not been a great amount of in-depth studies on this topic in the recent year...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Euclidean TSP in the Presence of Polygonal Obstacles Jeff Abrahamson Advisor: Ali Shokoufandeh, Ph.D. I give an O(nm+nm+m logm) time and O(n+m) space algorithm for finding the shortest traveling salesman tour through the vertices of two simple polygonal obstacles in the Euclidean plane, where n and m are the number of vertices of the two polygons.
متن کاملA novel Rho GTPase-activating-protein interacts with Gem, a member of the Ras superfamily of GTPases.
Gem is a Ras-related protein whose expression is induced in several cell types upon activation by extracellular stimuli. With the aim of isolating the cellular partners of Gem that mediate its biological activity we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen and identified a novel protein of 970 amino acids, Gmip, that interacts with Gem through its N-terminal half, and presents a cysteine-rich domain...
متن کاملEngineering geological studies used for redesigning and employing a hard rock TBM in soft rock formations of Chamshir water conveyance tunnel
The Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) with a length of 7.4 km and boring diameter of 5.3 m is excavated using a refurbished single shield TBM, initially designed to work in hard rock formations. This study focuses on engineering geological issues, which are important for checking the suitability of this machine and proposing required modifications for improving its performance in soft roc...
