Alkaline/neutral invertases (A/N-Invs) are now recognized as essential proteins in plant life. They catalyze the irreversible breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose and thus supply the cells with energy as well as signaling molecules. In this study we report on a mechanism that affects the activity of the cytosolic invertase AtCINV1 (At-A/N-InvG or AT1G35580). We demonstrate that Ser547...

Our aim is to establish some signatures of the extra neutral gauge boson X0, predicted in a version of the SU(3)C×SU(3)L×U(1)X model with right-handed neutrinos, by considering the process p+ p−→X0 +X0∗+ X . In this work, we show some results concerning the LHC energy regime ( √ s = 14 TeV) and projected luminosity. Some distributions are shown and the X0 width is calculated. We conclude that h...

Trehalases are important highly conserved enzymes found in a wide variety of organisms and are responsible for the hydrolysis of trehalose that serves as a carbon and energy source as well as a universal stress protectant. Emerging evidence indicates that the enzymatic activity of the neutral trehalase Nth1 in yeast is enhanced by 14-3-3 protein binding in a phosphorylation-dependent manner thr...

1. Propylene oxide reacts with DNA in aqueous buffer solution at about neutral pH to yield two principal products, identified as 7-(2-hydroxypropyl)guanine and 3-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine, which hydrolyse out of the alkylated DNA at neutral pH values at 37 degrees C. 2. These products were obtained in quantity by reactions between propylene oxide and guanosine or adenine respectively. 3. The rea...

We present a space and time resolved interferometric plasma diagnostic for use on plasmas where neutral-bound electron contribution to the refractive index cannot be neglected. By recording simultaneously the plasma optical index at 532 and 1064 nm, we are able to extract independently the neutral and free electron density profiles. We report a phase resolution of 30 mrad , corresponding to a m...
