The CSB protein, a member of the SWI/SNF ATP dependent chromatin remodeling family of proteins, plays a role in a sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER) known as transcription coupled repair (TCR). CSB is frequently mutated in Cockayne syndrome group B, a segmental progeroid human autosomal recessive disease characterized by growth failure and degeneration of multiple organs. Though in...

The present article investigates the stress pattern system of Central Sarawani Balochi (CSB), spoken in Sarawan located in Sistan and Baluchestan province of the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on metrical theory as developed in Hayes (1995). Correspondingly, the present research illustrates the position of primary and secondary stress in mono-morphemic words, verbal paradigms, compound words, ...

Cockayne syndrome type B ATPase (CSB) belongs to the SwItch/Sucrose nonfermentable family. Its mutations are linked to Cockayne syndrome phenotypes and classically are thought to be caused by defects in transcription-coupled repair, a subtype of DNA repair. Here we show that after UV-C irradiation, immediate early genes such as activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) are overexpressed. Althoug...

Cockayne Syndrome (CS) is a human genetic disorder with two complementation groups, CS-A and CS-B. The CSB gene product is involved in transcription-coupled repair of DNA damage but may participate in other pathways of DNA metabolism. The present study investigated the role of different conserved helicase motifs of CSB in base excision repair. Stably transformed human cell lines with site-direc...

Rabbits were classically conditioned using compounds of tone and light conditioned stimuli (CSs) presented with either simultaneous onsets (Experiment 1) or serial onsets (Experiment 2) in a delay conditioning paradigm. Training with the simultaneous compound reduced the likelihood of a conditioned response (CR) to the individual CSs ("mutual overshadowing") but left CR timing unaltered. CR pea...

We deal with a reservation-based cloud service broker (R-CSB). The main role of the R-CSB is to provide application execution services or Softwareas-a-Service. The R-CSB makes a profit by an arbitrage between cloud service consumers and providers, and service fees from the consumers. In this paper, we first present detail concepts and architecture of the R-CSB. Also, to reduce the VM leasing co...

Mutations in the CSA and CSB genes cause Cockayne syndrome, a rare inherited disorder characterized by UV sensitivity, severe neurological abnormalities, and progeriod symptoms. Both gene products function in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER), providing the cell with a mechanism to remove transcription-blocking lesions from the transcribed str...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare recessive childhood-onset neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a deficiency in the DNA repair pathway of transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair. Mice with a targeted deletion of the CSB gene (Csb-/-) exhibit a much milder ataxic phenotype than human patients. Csb-/- mice that are also deficient in global genomic repair [Csb-/-/xeroderma pigmento...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare inherited human genetic disorder characterized by UV sensitivity, developmental abnormalities and premature aging. The cellular and molecular phenotypes of CS include increased sensitivity to oxidative and UV-induced DNA lesions. The CSB protein is thought to play a pivotal role in transcription-coupled repair and CS-B cells are defective in the repair of the tr...

Kinetoplast DNA minicircles from various species of trypanosomes are heterogeneous in nucleotide sequence to various degrees but in all instances contain a conserved sequence region of 100 to 200 base pairs present in one, two, or four copies per minicircle. Comparison of the conserved sequence regions of minicircles from eight species of trypanosomes revealed a common sequence motif consisting...
