background: glucantime ® is the first- line drug for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis. unfortunately, the prevalence of parasites becoming resistant to glucantime ® is increasing in several parts of the world including iran. as protein is the most important target for drugs in response to a variety of signals including drugs so, it seems expression protein patterns in sensitive and r...

The complex inheritance of resistance to Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), the most severe fungal foliar disease in sugar beet, was investigated by means of quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. Over a three year period, recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), generated through a cross between lines resistant ('NK-310mm-O') and susceptible ('NK-184mm-O') to CLS, were field...

OBJECTIVE Nephropatic Cystinosis (NC) is a rare metabolic disorder due to mutation in the CTNS gene in which more than 90 different mutations have already been reported so far. This study was performed to investigate mutations of the CTNS gene and its promoter in a number of Iranian patients with NC. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were performed for molecular characte...

Knockdown resistance ( kdr) and CYP9K1 genotypes were detected by a MOLDI-TOF based SNP genotyping assay (Sequenom iPLEX) in samples of Anopheles gambiae collected at 13 sites throughout the Union of the Comoros and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania during February and March 2011. All A. gambiae specimens collected in the Comoros were homozygous for the susceptible kdr alleles (+/+) while 96% of A. gambi...

The intracellular target of diphtheria toxin is a modified histidine residue, diphthamide, in the translation elongation factor, eEF2 (also known as EFT1). This enigmatic modification occurs in all eukaryotes and is produced in yeast by the action of five gene products, DPH1 to DPH5. Sequence homologues of these genes are present in all sequenced eukaryotic genomes and, in higher eukaryotes, th...

The selection frequencies of cefepime (BMY 28142), ceftazidime, and cefotaxime resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were determined. Cefepime-resistant mutants were not selected by cefepime (frequency, less than 10(-11)). Ceftazidime- and cefotaxime-resistant mutants were isolated at frequencies of 10(-5) to 10(-10) and were often cross-resistant. However, cefepime resistance among c...

The bone metastasis-derived PC3 and the lymph node metastasis-derived LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines are widely studied, having been described in thousands of publications over the last four decades. Here, we report short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and de novo assembly of PC3 (ATCC CRL-1435) and LNCaP (clone FGC; ATCC CRL-1740) at ∼70 × coverage. A known homozygous mutation in TP53 an...

The role of brown adipose tissue in total energy balance and cold-induced thermogenesis was studied. Mice expressing mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) from the fat-specific aP2 gene promoter (heterozygous and homozygous aP2-Ucp transgenic mice) and their nontransgenic C57BL6/J littermates were used. The transgenic animals are resistant to obesity induced by a high-fat diet, presumably ...
