In small oocytes of Xenopus species, two sets of 5S RNA genes, oocyte-type and somatic-type, are fully activated. The 5S RNA transcripts are temporarily stored, half in association with TFIIIA to form a 7S particle, the other half in association with tRNA and two proteins (p48 and p43) to form a 42S particle. It has been established previously that TFIIIA binds to the internal control region of...

A major surface antigenic lipoprotein of Mycoplasma agalactiae, promptly recognized by the host's immune system, was characterized. The mature product, P48, showed significant similarity and shared conserved amino acid motifs with lipoproteins or predicted lipoproteins from Mycoplasma fermentans, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, relapsing fever Borrelia spp., Bacillus subtilis, and Treponema pallidum.

The neoclassical justification of the economic role state rests on concepts such as model economy in equilibrium, perfect competition, market failures, social efficiency and cost-benefit analysis, monopolies, ex-ternalities, theory public goods existence free riders. All this doctrine, which is used by economists to justify interventionism, can be critici-sed from theoretical methodological ten...
