for a composition $lambda$ of $n$ our aim is to obtain reduced forms ‎for all the elements in the kazhdan-lusztig (right) cell containing ‎$w_{j(lambda)}$‎, ‎the longest element of the standard parabolic‎ ‎subgroup of $s_n$ corresponding to $lambda$‎. ‎we investigate how far this is possible to achieve by looking at‎ ‎elements of the form $w_{j(lambda)}d$‎, ‎where $d$ is a prefix of ‎an element...

We report the first chicken transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase, ChPTP lambda, isolated from a brain cDNA library and preB cells. ChPTP lambda has transcripts of about 5.6 kilobases and is abundant in spleen, intestine, and fibroblasts transformed by oncogenic ras or erbA/B. It has five alternative splicing products varying near their amino termini, and the largest one contains 1237 amin...

The N protein of bacteriophage lambda is a positive regulator of early lambda gene expression. In a lambdatrp transducing phage, lambdatrp46Nam, the synthesis of trp enzymes in vivo is also dependent on the presence of active N protein. The DNA of this phage has been used in a protein-synthesizing system in vitro to develop a biochemical assay for the activity of the N protein. From the followi...

An increasing number of independent studies indicate that the atypical protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms (aPKCs) are critically involved in the control of cell proliferation and survival. The aPKCs are targets of important lipid mediators such as ceramide and the products of the PI 3-kinase. In addition, the aPKCs have been shown to interact with Ras and with two novel proteins, LIP (lambda-inter...

The aim of the present work is to introduce the concept of $lambda _{r}$-almost convergence of sequences. We define the spaces $fleft( lambda _{r}right) $ and $f_{0}left( lambda _{r}right) $ of $ lambda _{r}$-almost convergent and $lambda _{r}$-almost null sequences. We investigate some inclusion relations concerning those spaces with examples and we determine the $beta $- and $gamma $-duals of...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 5 ns on protein-DNA complexes of catabolite-activator protein (CAP), lambda-repressor, and their corresponding uncomplexed protein and DNA, are reported. These cases represent two extremes of DNA bending, with CAP DNA bent severely and the lambda-operator nearly straight when complexed with protein. The calculations were performed using the AMBER suite of ...

The Escherichia coli dnaK gene product, originally defined by mutations that blocked lambda phage DNA replication, is known to be necessary for E. coli viability. We have purified dnaK protein to homogeneity and have demonstrated that it possesses a weak DNA-independent ATPase activity, which results in the production of ADP and Pi. The proof that this ATPase activity is encoded by the dnaK+ ge...

E. coli cells lysogenic for the thermoinducible prophage lambdacI857 can be transiently induced by a brief heat treatment. Although this treatment does not kill the cells, some lambda products normally formed during vegetative phage development are made that can alter the response of host cells to x-irradiation by causing an increase in radioresistance. This increased resistance is particularly...

The recA and lexA proteins of EScherichia coli are involved in a complex regulatory circuit that allows the expression of a diverse set of functions after DNA damage or inhibition of DNA replication. Exponentially growing cells contain a low level of recA protein, and genetic evidence suggests that lexA protein is involved in its regulation, perhaps as a simple repressor. Recent models for recA...

In the fat body of Locusta migratoria, an RNA transcript of about 800 nucleotides has been detected that is specific to the adult female and dependent on induction by juvenile hormone (JH) or an analog. The corresponding cDNA has been cloned (lambda 21) and a 718-base pair sequence determined. It encodes a 196-amino acid polypeptide, including a signal peptide. An NH2-terminal sequence has 24 o...
