S-allantoin, a major ureide compound, is produced in plant peroxisomes from oxidized purines. Sequence evidence suggested that the Transthyretin-like (TTL) protein, which interacts with brassinosteroid receptors, may act as a bifunctional enzyme in the synthesis of S-allantoin. Here, we show that recombinant TTL from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes two enzymatic reactions leading to the stereose...

INTRODUCTION Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocols provide a common approach for trauma resuscitations. This was a quality review assessing compliance with ATLS protocols at a Level I trauma center; specifically whether the presence or absence of a trauma team leader (TTL) influenced adherence. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on adult major trauma patients with acute in...

The tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is a transition region between the troposphere and the stratosphere. In this study the vertical extent of the TTL is diagnosed from radiosonde and ozonesonde profiles in the tropics and a climatology of this layer is presented. The radiative balance in the TTL is also characterized. The TTL is locally defined as extending from the level of the lapse rate mini...

Tubulin tyrosine ligase (TTL) catalyzes the post-translational retyrosination of detyrosinated α-tubulin. Despite the indispensable role of TTL in cell and organism development, its molecular mechanism of action is poorly understood. By solving crystal structures of TTL in complex with tubulin, we here demonstrate that TTL binds to the α and β subunits of tubulin and recognizes the curved confo...

[1] The climatology of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) in two state-of-the-art general circulation models is compared with observations. Results indicate that global models are able to resolve key features of the TTL, including the mean state and the variability of temperature, ozone, clouds, and thermal structure. The agreement indicates that large-scale processes, and the large-scale effe...

The Time To Live (TTL) field present in the IP protocol header is used to limit the lifetime of packets in the network. Previous research has measured TTL for studying path lengths and dynamics in IP networks, and for detecting route changes. How the TTL varies over short timescales of subsequent packets of traffic flows has not yet been analysed. Such knowledge is needed for passively detectin...

In general, an IP packet passes through less than 30 routers before it reaches a destination host. According to our observations, some IP packets have an abnormal time-to-live (TTL) value that is decreased by more than 30 increments from the initial TTL. These packets are likely to be generated by special software. We assume that IP packets with strange TTL values are malicious. This study inve...
