The microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-1 from Arabidopsis thaliana dimerizes and forms 25 nm cross-bridges between microtubules, but the exact mechanism is unknown. Here, we used the predicted three-dimensional structure of AtMAP65-1 as a basis for analyzing the actual cross-bridging in detail. Fold-recognition predicts that AtMAP65-1 contains four coiled-coil domains and a flexible extende...

Abstract Background Radiotherapy resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Hypoxia critical cause radioresistance. However, communication between hypoxic cells and aerobic via exosomes during transfer radiation remains unclear. Methods Exo-miR-340-5p levels were analysed by RNA-seq qRT-PCR. We co-cultured OSCC with isolated normoxic to study ...

The zero-waste city challenge of the modern society is inevitably addressed to development model’s waste-to-energy. In this work, carob waste, largely used in agro-industrial sector for sugar extraction or locust beangum (LBG) production, considered as feedstock slow pyrolysis process. According Food and Agriculture Organization United Nations (FAO), 2012, world production carobs was ca. 160,00...

The use of serologic assays for influenza A virus (IAV) surveillance in wild birds has increased because of the availability of commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Recently, an H5-specific blocking ELISA (bELISA) was shown to reliably detect H5-specific antibodies to low- and high-pathogenic H5 viruses in experimentally infected waterfowl. Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) were frequ...

Lau, H. S. (University of Kentucky, Lexington), and R. F. Wiseman. Effect of uric acid on riboflavine production by intestinal coliform bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 87:337-340. 1964.-Cultures of Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, and Paracolobactrum species, isolated from human feces and from intestinal contents of rats, were tested for riboflavine synthesis in a chemically defined medium. Ribo...
