The distinguishable cyan and yellow fluorescent proteins (CFP and YFP) enable the simultaneous in vivo visualization of different promoter activities. Here, we report new cloning vectors for the construction of cfp and yfp fusions in Bacillus subtilis. By extending the N-terminal portions of previously described CFP and YFP variants, 20- to 70-fold-improved fluorescent-protein production was ac...

Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFP) is a rare benign soft tissue lesion. We herein present an extremely rare case of CFP of the adrenal gland. A 32-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with a tumor-like lesion in the area of the left adrenal gland detected by ultrasound during a routine check-up several days prior. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed a ...

Deposition of bioactive coatings composed of zinc oxide, cyclodextrin and cefepime (ZnO/CD/Cfp) was performed by the Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique. The obtained nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The efficient release of cefepime was correlated with an increased anti-biofilm activity of ZnO/CD/Cfp ...

The esat-6 and cfp-10 genes are essential for virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among nontuberculous mycobacteria, we found these genes only in M. kansasii, M. szulgai, M. marinum, and M. riyadhense, with unique sequences. This adds a phylogenetic and taxonomical characteristic and may represent a virulence factor for nontuberculous mycobacteria.

Calmodulin (CaM), a 16 kDa ubiquitous calcium-sensing protein, is known to bind tightly to the calcium release channel/ryanodine receptor (RyR), and modulate RyR function. CaM binding studies using RyR fragments or synthetic peptides have revealed the presence of multiple, potential CaM-binding regions in the primary sequence of RyR. In the present study, we inserted GFP into two of these propo...

Developing efficient and competitive electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid is a great challenge hydrogen production. Compared with metal catalysts, metal-free catalysts are more environmentally friendly cheaper. Herein, we present novel non-metallic self-supporting polyaniline catalyst (PANI3/CFP) synthesized by electrodeposition water oxidation. Benefiting from the three...

Phospholemman (PLM) or FXYD1 is a major cardiac myocyte phosphorylation target upon adrenergic stimulation. Prior immunoprecipitation and functional studies suggest that phospholemman associates with the Na/K-pump (NKA) and mediates adrenergic Na/K-pump regulation. Here, we tested whether the NKA-PLM interaction is close enough to allow fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between cyan...

Grey water is a kind of domestic wastewater including shower, bath, lavatory and laundry waters. waters without faecal waste can be considered as alternative sources in the place where resources are limited. In present study, removals COD, anionic non-ionic surfactants from grey via conventional (CFP) modified (MFP) Fenton oxidation processes was experienced. It determined that pH adjustment to...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact corporate social responsibility (CSR) on financial performance (CFP) through information asymmetry (IA) as a mediator. study involved whole sectors in listed companies Egx100 excluding Financial (banks and services) from 2013-2017 using smart PLS (Partial Least Square). CSR measured index, while Share turnover ratio used measure IA. CFP divided...
