Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down: Inhibiting RNA Polymerase
نویسنده
چکیده
Mechanistic understanding of antibiotic action can yield crucial insights that aid in the design of new antibiotics. In this issue, Mukhopadhyay et al. (2008) uncover the mechanism by which the antibiotic myxopyronin inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, suggesting a new target region in RNA polymerase for inhibitor design.

Hypoxia-inducible angiopoietin-2 expression is mimicked by iodonium compounds and occurs in the rat brain and skin in response to systemic hypoxia and tissue ischemia.
Angiopoietins are ligands for the endothelial cell tyrosine kinase receptor Tie-2. Ang-1, the major physiological activator of Tie-2, promotes blood vessel maturation and stability. Ang-2 counteracts this effect by competitively inhibiting the binding of Ang-1 to Tie-2. Using a combined RNase protection/semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction approach, we demonstrate th...
متن کاملTie Me Up!: An Empirical Investigation of Perceived Tie Characteristics on Prospective Connections
How do social networks motivate people to connect not only to their previously existing friends but also to novel or blind new contacts? We report the results of an experiment to identify the value that participants give to alternative network characteristics when deciding to connect to a social network. We focus on network tie characteristics because they represent information that potentially...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the involvement of Tie-1 and Tie-2, receptor tyrosine kinases required for angiogenesis, in synovial proliferation and angiogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Synovial tissues from 10 patients with RA and three control subjects were analysed by double immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Expression of ...
متن کاملConcept Based Tie-breaking and Maximal Marginal Relevance Retrieval in Microblog Retrieval
There are enormous tweets posted on any given day, and the number keeps increasing. As a result, the needs of effectively retrieving tweets depending upon user’s information need, and summarizing tweets pertaining to a given topic have become increasingly important. In this paper, Wikipedia concepts [1] was introduced in tie-breaking to perform ad-hoc microblog retrieval. The Maximal Marginal R...
