By Agrobacterium-mediated transformation we have demonstrated that a 1.10-kilobase promoter sequence from the tomato rbcS-3A gene confers light-inducible and organ-specific expression upon fusion to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene. A biphasic expression profile was obtained by 5' deletion analysis of this promoter, indicating the presence of both positive and negative regul...

The specificity of CD8+ T cell responses can vary dramatically between primary and secondary infections. For example, NP366-374/Db- and PA224-233/Db-specific CD8+ T cells respond in approximately equal numbers to a primary influenza virus infection in C57BL/6 mice, whereas NP366-374/Db-specific CD8+ T cells dominate the secondary response. To investigate the mechanisms underlying this changing ...

We previously demonstrated that metallothionein (MT)-mediated protection from diabetes-induced pathological changes in cardiac tissues is related to suppression of superoxide generation and protein nitration. The present study investigated which diabetes-nitrated protein(s) mediate the development of these pathological changes by identifying the panel of nitrated proteins present in diabetic he...

The seed protein contents and protein banding pattern were studied in commonly cultivated groundnut cultivars. The groundnut cultivars such as ICGV00351, TMV-7, CO-4,CO-6 and TG-374 were used for quantitative and qualitative analysis of seed proteins. The protein contents varied among the different varieties of groundnut. The maximum protein content was observed in CO-6 followed by CO-4, TMV-7,...

PURPOSE To evaluate the role of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System v. 2 (PI-RADSv2) in triaging patients with prostate cancer according to Prostate Cancer Research International: Active Surveillance (PRIAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2014, 456 patients with biopsy-proven cancer underwent multiparametric 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using T2 -weight...

SWAP-70, a phosphatidylinositol trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) binding protein, has been suggested to be involved in transformation of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) as well as membrane ruffling after growth factor stimulation of the cells. A mutant, SWAP-70-374, was found to be able to bind to F-actin in vitro, whereas wild-type SWAP-70 failed to do so. This mutant was present at the plasm...
