Homing endonucleases are site-specific and rare cutting endonucleases often encoded by intron or intein containing genes. They lead to the rapid spread of the genetic element that hosts them by a process termed ‘homing’; and ultimately the allele containing the element will be fixed in the population. PI-SceI, an endonuclease encoded as a protein insert or intein within the yeast V-ATPase catal...

Background: Protein aggregation correlates with the development of several debilitating human disorders of growing incidence, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. On the biotechnological side, protein production is often hampered by the accumulation of recombinant proteins into aggregates. Thus, the development of methods to anticipate the aggregation properties of polypeptides is rece...

Chemicals The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to investigate acute mucosal irritation in the upper and lower respiratory tract occurring after aerosol exposure to toxic chemicals with the goals to: 1) minimize initial injury promptly, 2) retard and ameliorate progressive mucosal irritation or inflammation, and 3) offer prophylaxis against pulmonary edema, if created by acute lung i...

RESULTS: The median size of a PS division was seven faculty. PS faculty had lower median publications/citations than GS and SS (PS: 25/328, GS: 35/607, SS: 40/713, p < 0.05). Publication (P) and citation (C) differences were observed at all ranks: assistant professor (PS: 11/101, GS: 13/169, SS: 19/249), associate professor (PS: 33/342, GS: 40/691, SS: 44/780) and professor (PS: 57/968, GS: 97/...

The grant will provide $11 0,000 a year for five years. Of this amount, 20 percent will be used to recruit and retain underrepresented minorities and women in engineering. The rest will be split among the three research groups. This funding supports two General Motors graduate fellowships, one in the ERC and a second in the Spatial Automation Laboratory. The ERC-GM fellowshipwi11 be used to hel...
