Screening of random fragments of Escherichia coli genomic DNA for their ability to increase the novobiocin resistance of a hypersusceptible (Delta)acrAB mutant resulted in the isolation of a plasmid containing baeR, which codes for the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system BaeSR. When induced for expression, baeR cloned in multicopy plasmid pTrc99A significantly increased th...

The lecithin which is used in cardiolipin antigens for the sero-diagnosis of syphilis is extracted from beef heart tissue or egg yolk by the methods of Pangborn, Maltaner, Tompkins, Beecher, Thompson, and Flynn (1951). The product is actually a mixture of individual lecithins containing chiefly unsaturated but also some saturated fatty acids, the composition varying with the source and method o...

The BaeSR two-component regulatory system controls expression of exporter genes conferring drug resistance in Escherichia coli (S. Nagakubo, K. Nishino, T. Hirata, and A. Yamaguchi, J. Bacteriol. 184:4161-4167, 2002; N. Baranova and H. Nikaido, J. Bacteriol. 184:4168-4176, 2002). To understand the whole picture of BaeSR regulation, a DNA microarray analysis of the effect of BaeR overproduction ...

let r be a ring,  be an endomorphism of r and mr be a -rigid module. amodule mr is called quasi-baer if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of r isgenerated by an idempotent. it is shown that an r-module mr is a quasi-baer module if andonly if m[[x]] is a quasi-baer module over the skew power series ring r[[x; ]].

Brainstem stroke syndromes are primarily determined by clinical criteria. There are few diagnostic procedures which are of benefit for the evaluation of brainstem ischemic events. Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) are a new electrophysiologic technique for assessing brainstem function. To evaluate the use of BAERs in patients with brainstem ischemic events, 35 individuals with recent ...
