We have examined the role of Thr-286 autophosphorylation in the autoregulation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have substituted alanine or serine for Thr-286, or isoleucine for Arg-283, in the 50-kDa subunit of the kinase and expressed each protein in bacteria. Activation and autophosphorylation of all four enzymes were stringently dependent o...

Utility of combined annotation-dependent depletion (CADD) score was recently reported to rank pathogenicity as C-scores ranging 1-99 for both confirmed deleterious mutation. Using C-scores for BRCA1/2 variants, we tried to constitute the classification system for variant of uncertain significance (VUS), which had been a major problem of genetic testing for hereditary breast and/or ovarian cance...

Green coconut fiber (Cocos nucifera L.) has been largely used in solid-phase extraction. The effect of the initial dye concentration (1.91, 3.02 and 4.02) × 10−5 mol∙L−1 and solid phase contact (SPE) time were evaluated at different temperatures (283, 298 and 313) K at pH 2. Kinetic experimental data were applied to three simplified kinetic models: pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and i...
