Ultraspiracle (Usp) is a nuclear receptor present in arthropods which participates in control of their molting and metamorphosis. It has been shown that Usp is part of complex engaged in the cross talk between 20E and juvenile hormone (JH) signaling pathways where it interacts with ecdysone receptor (EcR). However Chd64 was also proposed as potential interaction partner for Usp in this cross-ta...

We developed the universal sample processing (USP) methodology and demonstrated its excellent performance in several validation studies using blinded samples (1–4). An article titled “Poor performance of Universal Sample Processing Method for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis by Smear Microscopy and Culture in Uganda” was published recently in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology (5). In this...

PURPOSE To compare the precision of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements taken with the handheld ultrasound pachymeter (USP), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and the Artemis-2 very high frequency ultrasound scanner (VHFUS) on normal subjects. DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS One eye from each of 61 normal subjects was randomly selected for this study. The measurements of the CCT we...

We identified two regulatory elements in the upstream region of the Drosophila Sgs-3 gene which are both able to bind the ecdysone receptor (EcR/USP) and the product of the fork head gene. Interestingly, only one of the EcR/USP binding sites is able to recognize in vitro-translated EcR/USP, which provides evidence for the existence of different receptor forms having different DNA binding specif...

The herpesvirus ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) family, whose founding member was discovered as a protease domain embedded in the large tegument protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), is conserved across all members of the Herpesviridae. Whether this conservation is indicative of an essential function of the enzyme in vivo has not yet been established. As reported here, USP activity is co...
