We report a unique isoform of PLC[beta]4 in rat, PLC[beta]4c, that has an additional 37nucleotide exon inserted between nucleotides 3459-3460 of the previously published PLC[beta]4a coding sequence. This insertion results in replacement of 22 amino acid residues at the carboxyl terminal tail of PLC[beta]4a with 41 unique residues. A human EST for PLC[beta]4 also contains this exon and this exon...

In this article, a speed control of DC motor is designed and illustrated using fuzzy logic-based programmable logic controller (PLC). The DC motor is an attractive part of electrical equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load specifications due to its ease of controllability. The designed system is consisted of three main parts including programmable logic contr...

Four different isoforms of phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta 1-4) have been discovered, raising the important question of whether a distinct receptor activates a single PLC-beta isoenzyme or a subset of PLC-beta isoenzymes. The present study was designed to investigate activation of PLC-beta isoenzymes by three different PLC-activating agonists that bind to different receptor entities, i.e., chole...

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that spreads cell to cell without exposure to the extracellular environment. Bacterial cell-to-cell spread is mediated in part by two secreted bacterial phospholipases C (PLC), a broad spectrum PLC (PC-PLC) and a phosphatidylinositolspecific PLC (PI-PLC). PI-PLC is secreted in an active state, whereas PC-PLC is secreted as...

Platelets from a patient with a mild inherited bleeding disorder and abnormal platelet aggregation and secretion show reduced generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, mobilization of intracellular Ca2+, and phosphorylation of pleckstrin in response to several G protein mediated agonists, suggesting a possible defect at the level of phospholipase C (PLC) activation (see accompanying report). ...

Two forms (I and II) of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) were purified from the cytosol of bovine iris sphincter by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, EAH-Sepharose, heparin-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration and Mono Q HR columns. The final step resulted in specific activities of PLC-I and PLC-II of 4.3 and 5.9 mumol of phosphatidylinositol (PI) cleaved/min per ...

Phospholipase C (PLC) comprises a superfamily of enzymes that play a key role in a wide array of intracellular signalling pathways, including protein kinase C and intracellular calcium. Thirteen different mammalian PLC isoforms have been identified and classified into 6 families (PLC-β, γ, δ, ε, ζ and η) based on their biochemical properties. Although the expression of PLC isoforms is tissue-sp...

High reliability is the key to performance of electrical control equipment. PLC combines computer technology, automatic control technology and communication technology and becomes widely used for automation of industrial processes. Some requirements of complex PLC systems cannot be satisfied by the traditional verification methods. In this paper, an efficient method for the PLC systems modeling...
