The autonomous MuDR element of the Mutator (Mu) transposable element family of maize encodes at least two proteins, MURA and MURB. Based on amino acid sequence similarity, previous studies have reported that MURA is likely to be a transposase. The functional characterization of MURA has been hindered by the instability of its cDNA, mudrA, in Escherichia coli. In this study, we report the first ...

Toll–IL-1–resistance (TIR) domain–containing adaptor-inducing IFN(TRIF)–related adaptor molecule (TRAM) is the fourth TIR domain–containing adaptor protein to be described that participates in Toll receptor signaling. Like TRIF, TRAM activates interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3, IRF-7, and NFB-dependent signaling pathways. Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and 4 activate these pathways to induce IFN/...

Cloning and sequencing of the telomere of Streptomyces griseus revealed five palindromic sequences in the terminal 116 nucleotides, all of which can make a hairpin loop structure. However, the end sequence cannot form the foldback secondary structure that is common in Streptomyces telomeres and is suggested to be necessary for terminal replication. Both inside ends of the terminal inverted repe...

The Andd7 team from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology(DA-IICT) participated in both the subtasks namely Temporal Query Intent Classification(TQIC) and Temporal Information Retrieval(TIR) of the pilot task of NTCIR-11 Temporal Information Access(Temporalia) Task [4]. This report describes different classification methods and feature sets used for classifying ...

time reversal (tir) technique is an effective and simple method for data transmission in extremely multipath indoor uwb channels that mitigates the complexity of receiver by its own time focusing feature. although, tir method has the suitable performance, but it is sensitive to the non-ideal channel estimation error. in this paper at first, the bit error probability of tir-uwb communication sys...

T cytoplasmic domain of both the IL-1 receptor (IL1R) and of molecules that function in host defense called Tolllike receptors (TLR) are homologous to one another and thus are called TIR (TollyIL-1 receptor) domains (1). Two publications in recent issues of PNAS have sought for more Toll-like receptors in two different organisms. One paper, by Bowie et al. (2), describes the discovery of TLRs i...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been established to play an essential role in the activation of innate immunity by recognizing specific patterns of microbial components. TLR signaling pathways arise from intracytoplasmic TIR domains, which are conserved among all TLRs. Recent accumulating evidence has demonstrated that TIR domain-containing adaptors, such as MyD88, TIRAP, and TRIF, modulate TLR...
