BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oxidative stress after ischemia/reperfusion has been shown to induce DNA damage and subsequent DNA repair activity. Ku 70/86, multifunctional DNA repair proteins, bind to broken DNA ends and trigger a DNA repair pathway. We investigated the involvement of these proteins in the development of neuronal tolerance to global cerebral ischemia after ischemic preconditioning. ...

We have isolated a cDNA encoding the 84-kD subunit of NFIV. Tryptic peptide sequences were identified within the coding sequences, confirming its proper identity. The primary sequence of the protein is identical to that of the large subunit of the Ku autoantigen. A missing NFIV peptide sequence was identified within the sequence of the small subunit of Ku. In addition, the proteins are identica...

The temperature stability of field induced uniaxial anisotropy KU was investigated by thermomagnetic treatments of Co1−xFex 89Zr7B4 amorphous ribbons after field annealing below and above the crystallization temperature. We conclude: 1 Field annealing treatments are necessary to properly investigate the temperature stability of KU, 2 KU of field crystallized alloys exhibit improved temperature ...
