Brain acid-soluble protein 1 (BASP1, CAP-23, NAP-22) appears to be implicated in diverse cellular processes. An N-terminally myristoylated form of BASP1 has been discovered to participate in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics in neurons, whereas non-myristoylated nuclear BASP1 acts as co-suppressor of the potent transcription regulator WT1 (Wilms' Tumor suppressor protein 1). Here we...

ZCCHC9 is a human nuclear protein with sequence homology to yeast Air1p/Air2p proteins which are RNA-binding subunits of the Trf4/Air2/Mtr4 polyadenylation (TRAMP) complex involved in nuclear RNA quality control and degradation in yeast. The ZCCHC9 protein contains four retroviral-type zinc knuckle motifs. Here, we report the NMR spectral assignment of the zinc knuckle region of ZCCHC9. These d...

Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is involved in the negative phototactic response towards blue light of the bacterium Halorhodospira halophila. Here, we report nearly complete backbone and side chain (1)H, (13)C and (15)N resonance assignments at pH 5.8 and 20 °C of PYP in its electronic ground state.

This study compares histological preservation in archeological bones from different burial types to unravel the histotaphonomy-to-funerary practices relationship. ?n intraskeletal approach is also adopted explore intraindividual (inner ear part of petrous bone vs. upper/lower limb long bones) and intrabone (proximal distal diaphysis) variability collagen preservation, ?13C, ?15N. The aim (a) ta...

The rotational spectra of singly substituted 13C and 15N isotopic species of vinyl cyanide have been studied in natural abundances between 64 and 351 GHz. In combination with previous results, greatly improved spectroscopic parameters have been obtained which in turn helped to identify transitions of the 13C species for the first time in space through a molecular line survey of the extremely li...

Dynamic nuclear polarization has enabled hyperpolarization of nuclei such as 13C and 15N in endogenous substances. The resulting high nuclear polarization makes it possible to perform subsecond 13C MRI. By using the dynamic nuclear polarization hyperpolarization technique, 10% polarization was obtained in an aqueous solution of 100 mM 13C-labeled urea, ready for injection. The in vivo T1 relaxa...
