Gene expression in lambdoid phages in part is controlled by transcription antitermination. For most lambdoid phages, maximal expression of delayed early genes requires an RNA polymerase modified by the phage N and host Nus proteins at RNA NUT sites. The NUT sites (NUTL and NUTR) are made up of three elements: BOXA, BOXB and an intervening spacer sequence. We report on N antitermination in H-19B...

Areca nut (seed of Areca catechu) is consumed by people from different parts of Asia, including India. The four major alkaloids present in areca nut are arecoline, arecaidine, guvacoline and guvacine. Upon cutting, the nut reveals two kinds of regions; white and brown. In our present study, we have monitored the formation of these two regions within the nut during maturation, using the non-inva...

The poorly differentiated carcinoma with t(15;19)(q13, p13.1) is characterized by its highly aggressive, invariably lethal clinical course. The chromosome 19 translocation breakpoint targets the BRD4 double bromodomain-containing gene, which functions in regulation of cell cycle progression. Herein we demonstrate that BRD4 is fused with nearly the entire transcript of the novel 15q13 gene, NUT ...

Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) midline carcinoma can present in the head, neck, and mediastinum. In general, it presents in young adult men and has a poor prognosis. We report on a case of NUT midline carcinoma of the mediastinum in a man 27 years of age without any prior malignancy. Due to the location of the tumor, mediastinal lymphoma and germ cell tumor were initially considered; howev...

This paper presents an experimental study of argan nut shell (ANS) combustion in a lab-scale furnace. Biomass composition, properties and microstructures were determined. Combustion behaviour, fuel burn rate (FBR), pollutants (CO NOx), modified efficiency (MCE) ash analysis investigated. A comparison with wood pellets (WP) complying the ENplus Standard was performed. The impacts air flow partic...

BACKGROUND The effects of nuts on major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including dose-responses and potential heterogeneity by nut type or phytosterol content, are not well established. OBJECTIVES We examined the effects of tree nuts (walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts) on blood lipids [total cholesterol, low-density lipoprote...

The epitopes of the major allergen pine nut, Pin p 1, were analyzed using a peptide library and sera from patients with clinical allergy to nut in order deepen into allergenic characteristics 1. Analyses epitope similarities location 3D-model also performed. Results showed that three main regions 1 containing 5 recognized by patient IgE. had important 2S albumins peanut (Ara h 2 6) Brazil (Ber ...
