In higher eukaryotes, RF-I (class I release factor) [eRF1 (eukaryotic release factor 1)] is responsible for stop codon recognition and promotes nascent polypeptide release from the ribosome. Interestingly, two class I RFs, eRF1a and eRF1b, have been identified among the ciliates Euplotes, which are variant code organisms. In the present study, we analysed the comparative expression of eRF1a and...

Liver disorders such as hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are a series of the most life threatening diseases along with extensive inflammatory cellular infiltrations. Macrophage has been proved to be key regulators and initiators of inflammation, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recommended to play critical roles in the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases. ...

Recent studies have used the value spread as a predictor of aggregate stock returns to construct cash-flow betas that appear to explain the size and value anomalies. Our evidence suggests that the value spread is not a useful predictor of returns. Two related variables, the book-to-market spread — the book-to-market of value stocks minus that of growth stocks — and the market-to-book spread — t...

Till now, the only comprehensive history of the most famous asylum in the Englishspeaking world has been a rare volume produced by the hospital's one-time chaplain E G O'Donoghue, The story of Bethlehem Hospitalfrom itsfoundation in 1247, which was published in 1914.1 To coincide with the institution's 750th anniversary, Routledge have produced another one-volume history, the product this time ...

BMJ 1993;306:1247-52 To provide revised guidance on malaria prevention for the medical advisers oftravellers from the United Kingdom going overseas to malarious areas, a committee of those most involved in giving advice and with specialist expertise in the United Kingdom agreed a policy document. There is a need for all travellers to be aware of the risk of malaria and to take measures to avoid...

Recent case studies on European economies have analysed the evolution of aggregate series for government expenditure on education and its relation to the cyclical economic growth in the long run. These studies have depicted two different patterns of that relationship. In the case of highly developed economies, namely France, Germany and Great-Britain, the evolution of public expenditure on educ...

A protein digestion system using immobilized enzymes for protein identification and glycochain analyses has been developed, and a vibration reaction unit for micro-scale sample convection on an enzyme-immobilized solid surface was constructed. BSA as a model substrate was digested by this unit, and was successfully identified by mass spectrometry (MS) analyses. Compared to the conventional liqu...

In an effort to understand the processes that establish and maintain the differentiated state of the alveolar epithelium, we have analyzed the gene for rat type I cell 40 kD protein (RTI40), an apical integral plasma membrane protein expressed in type I but not type II alveolar epithelial cells. The RTI40 gene spans 35 kilobase pairs; it contains 6 exons and at least 6 rat Identifier repetitive...
