We previously demonstrated (Ookata et al., 1992, 1993) that the p34cdc2/cyclin B complex associates with microtubules in the mitotic spindle and premeiotic aster in starfish oocytes, and that microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) might be responsible for this interaction. In this study, we have investigated the mechanism by which p34cdc2 kinase associates with the microtubule cytoskeleton in p...

The aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene (aph) from the neomycin producer Streptomyces fradiae encodes an enzyme (APH) that phosphorylates, and thereby inactivates, the antibiotic neomycin. Two promoters were identified upstream of and oriented toward the aph coding sequence. One promoter (aphp1) initiated transcription at the A of the ATG translational initiation codon, or one to two bases u...

Pardaxins are a class of ichthyotoxic peptides isolated from fish mucous glands. Pardaxins physically interact with cell membranes by forming pores or voltage-gated ion channels that disrupt cellular functions. Here we report the high-resolution structure of synthetic pardaxin Pa4 in sodium dodecylphosphocholine micelles, as determined by H solution NMR spectroscopy. The peptide adopts a bend-h...

Two new species of Seira, Seira tinguira sp. nov. and Seira paulae sp. nov. from Atlantic Rainforest Phytogeographic Domain in Paraná State, southern Brazil, are described and illustrated, with dorsal chaetotaxy labeled in detail. The general morphology of S. tinguira sp. nov. resembles S. frater (Bonet) and S. oceanica Yosii, however differs by chaeta Pa4 present in head, three extra macrochae...

Apigenin, a widely distributed flavone, exhibits excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. In addition, the methylation of apigenin is generally considered to result in better absorption and greatly increased bioavailability. Here, four putative Class II methyltransferase genes were identified from the transcriptome sequences generated from the liverwort species Plagio...

AIMS To evaluate the associations between physical activity (PA) and metabolic control, measured by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), in a large group of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of data from 4655 patients, comparing HbA1c values with levels of physical activity. The data for the children and adolescents were obtained from the Swedish pediatri...

This definition goes back to J.Dixmier, see [Di, 11.1.6]. He considered index because of its importance in Representation Theory. The problem of computing the index may also be treated as part of Invariant Theory. For, if q is an algebraic Lie algebra and Q is a corresponding algebraic group, then ind q equals the transcendence degree of the field of Q-invariant rational functions on q. If q is...
