The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a γ-herpesvirus that infects B cells and epithelial cells and that has been linked to malignancies in both cell types in vivo. EBV, like other herpesviruses, has three glycoproteins, glycoprotein B (gB), gH, and gL, that form the core membrane fusion machinery mediating viral penetration into the cell. The gH and gL proteins associate to form a heterodimeric comp...

As part of our ongoing investigation of the stenoendemic plants belonging to the Brassicaceae family, we report on the chemistry of Fibigia triquetra (DC.) Boiss. ex Prantl for the first time. Different plant parts (flower, leaf, stem, and seed) of F. triquetra were characterized and quantified for glucosinolates (GLs) according to the ISO 9167-1 EU official method based on the HPLC analysis of...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two different membrane protein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131, that function in different cell types. gH/gL/gO appears to be important for HCMV entry into or spread between fibroblasts, processes that occur at neutral pH. We demonstrated that HCMV entry into epithelial and endothelial cells requires gH/gL/UL128-131 and involves endocytosis and...

Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated by green liquor combined with ethanol (GL-Ethanol) and green liquor combined with H2O2 (GL-H2O2). After 72 h of enzymatic hydrolysis, the glucose yields of sugarcane bagasse pretreated with GL-Ethanol and GL-H2O2 were 97.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The reason that GL-Ethanol was more effective than GLH2O2 has not been elucidated clearly. In this study, the chemi...

Herpesvirus gH/gL envelope glycoprotein complexes are key players in virus entry as ligands for host cell receptors and by promoting fusion of viral envelopes with cellular membranes. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has two alternative gH/gL complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128,130,131A which both shape the HCMV tropism. By studying binding of HCMV particles to fibroblasts, we could for the first t...

• The theory of admissible representations of GL(2,Qp) (or more generally, GL(2, F ) with F/Qp a finite extension). • The theory of automorphic representations of GL(2); in particular, the correspondence between Hecke eigenforms in the classical sense and automorphic representations. • The Jacquet-Langlands correspondence, relating automorphic forms on GL(2) with those on a division algebra. • ...

The phosphoserine/phosphothreonine-binding protein 14-3-3 is known to regulate actin; this function has been previously attributed to sequestration of phosphorylated cofilin. 14-3-3 was identified as an actin-associated protein in the deep-branching eukaryote Giardia lamblia; however, Giardia lacks cofilin and all other canonical actin-binding proteins (ABPs). Thus, the role of G. lamblia 14-3-...

We present a survey of recent developments of the Beilinson–Lusztig–MacPherson approach in the study of quantum gl n , infinitesimal quantum gl n , quantum gl ∞ and their associated q-Schur algebras, little q-Schur algebras and infinite q-Schur algebras. We also use the relationship between quantum gl ∞ and infinite q-Schur algebras to discuss their representations.

General linear (GL) methods are numerical algorithms used to solve ODEs. The standard order conditions analysis involves the GL matrix itself and a starting procedure; however, a finishing method (F) is required to extract the actual ODE solution. The standard order analysis and stability are sufficient for the convergence of any GL method. Nonetheless, using a simple GL scheme, we show that th...
