Compared with the other class B multimodular penicillin- binding proteins (PBPs), the low-affinity PBP5 responsible for penicillin resistance in Enterococcus hirae R40, has an extended non-penicillin-binding module because of the presence of an approximately 110-amino-acid E-46(-)D-160 insert downstream from the membrane anchor. Expression of pbp5 genes lacking various parts of the insert-encod...

Ž . This study was based on blacklip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera juveniles, that were hatchery-reared and 8 months old. They were held for 5 months in suspended culture using five Ž . culture techniques: in 24-pocket juvenile panel nets PN24 ; enclosed within 5-mm plastic mesh Ž . ‘inserts’ placed in the pockets of eight-pocket adult panel nets PN8 ; in 5-mm plastic mesh inserts Ž . Ž ....

Web applications that rely on datasets of limited sizes to handle small but frequent updates and numerous queries have no simple way to define where data should be stored and processed. We propose a reasoning framework that can be integrated in Web applications and is able to perform the same reasoning tasks on both client or server sides. This framework embeds a rule-based reasoning engine tha...

We present a case study in which the jaw/mouth-open procedure during air-conduction testing is employed to both detect and remediate external auditory meatal collapse. A prospective investigation was also conducted to compare the efficacy of the proposed jaw/mouth-open procedure with that of the traditional insert receivers in remediating meatal collapse during audiologic assessment. Meatal col...

Thymidylate synthase (TS) gene contains 28-bp polymorphic sequence and 6-bp insert at the 5'- and 3'-untranslated region, respectively. We investigated the role of these two polymorphic traits on TS mRNA expression in nine different cultured human cancer cell lines in vitro. Three cell lines each were 2R/2R, 2R/3R and 3R/3R genotypes. Six of the n...

The article describes the formulation of problem wear an elastic pipe with a nonuniform internal coating by rigid insert, diameter which is variable. For this problem, mathematical model built, mixed integral equation. resulting equation contains functions related to variable properties and shape insert. When constructing analytical solution, special approach was used, since standard methods do...

Abstract By differentiating titanium carbide (TiC) tool and cemented uncoated during the CNC machining of LDX 2101 steel, this experimental approach aims to diminish surface roughness (SR). The control group comprised inserts while featured TiC inserts. These drilling parameters were speed cutting, rate feed, cut depth. number groups was 2, there 27 samples used for each in trials. standard SR ...

DNA topoisomerases manage chromosome supercoiling and organization in all forms of life. Gyrase, a prokaryotic heterotetrameric type IIA topo, introduces negative supercoils into DNA by an ATP-dependent strand passage mechanism. All gyrase orthologs rely on a homologous set of catalytic domains for function; however, these enzymes also can possess species-specific auxiliary regions. The gyrases...

Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are a subfamily of phytochrome photoreceptors found exclusively in photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Four CBCRs containing a second Cys in the insert region (insert-Cys) have been identified from the nonheterocystous cyanobacterium Microcoleus B353 (Mbr3854g4 and Mbl3738g2) and the nitrogen fixing, heterocystous cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme (NpF2164g3 and NpR1597g2...

Synapse formation is triggered through trans-synaptic interaction between pairs of pre- and postsynaptic adhesion molecules, the specificity of which depends on splice inserts known as 'splice-insert signaling codes'. Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase δ (PTPδ) can bidirectionally induce pre- and postsynaptic differentiation of neurons by trans-synaptically binding to interleukin-1 receptor ...
