Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is targeted to the vacuole for degradation when Saccharomyces cerevisiae are shifted from low to high glucose. Before vacuolar import, however, FBPase is sequestered inside a novel type of vesicle, the vacuole import and degradation (Vid) vesicles. Here, we reconstitute import of FBPase into isolated Vid vesicles. FBPase sequestration into Vid vesicles requi...

In recent decades, theorists proposed the role of domestic components such as interior active groups, policies and macroeconomic indicators on determination of protection policies. In the context of recent studies, this study has investigated the effect of business cycle fluctuations on import protection for selected developing countries in 1995-2011 by using dynamic panel data method. Furtherm...

Peroxisomes import virtually all of their membrane and matrix proteins post-translationally. It is presently unknown whether, in mammalian cells, their exists a pool of mature peroxisomes which have received their complement of proteins and are import-incompetent. Previous work has shown that fibroblasts are capable of importing microinjected peroxisomal proteins into peroxisomes. This report d...

Nup358 (also known as RanBP2), a component of the cytoplasmic filaments of the nuclear pore complex, has been implicated in various nucleocytoplasmic transport pathways. Here, we identify Nup358 as an important factor for transportin-mediated nuclear import. Depletion of Nup358 resulted in a strong inhibition of nuclear import of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Rev protein. HIV-...

Rice comes second after wheat in Iran`s food consumption economy. However Iran is one of the greatest rice importer countries all over the world because of its rising population and recent growth in GDP. This paper presents an analysis of cointegration test between rice import and it`s economic factors over the period 1990-2011, employing Engle-Granger model. At first, Dickey-Fuller test shows ...

Mitochondria import most of their proteins from the cytosol. Dynamic protein complexes in the mitochondrial outer and inner membranes are responsible for the specific recognition and membrane translocation of preproteins. The preprotein translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane contains several import receptors and a general import pore. The preprotein translocase of the inner membrane co...

This paper estimates agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) in 162 countries between 1991 and 2015 aims to understand sources of cross-country variations TFP levels its growth rates. Two factors affecting are analyzed detail - imported intermediate inputs climate. We first show that these two independently important explaining raise TFP; higher temperatures rainfall shortages impede growt...

Process-based crop models are popular tools to analyze and simulate the response of agricultural systems weather, agronomic, or genetic factors. They often developed in modeling platforms ensure their future extension couple different with a soil model management event scheduler. The intercomparison improvement simulation is difficult due lack efficient methods for exchanging biophysical proces...

In view of the importance of the meat imports and the exports of meat in Iran, this study focuses on the status of the global market of meat imports the unit price test in these markets between the years 1961 and 2011 using the market cointegration approach. The results of this study are indicative of prices co-integration in the international market of meat as well as among such major importer...
