In this paper we show that the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjectures are inherited in group extensions for assembly maps in algebraic K-theory and L-theory. Introduction Under what assumptions are the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjectures inherited by group extensions or subgroups? We will formulate a version of the standard conjectures (see Farrell-Jones [9]) with twisted coefficients in an ad...

The nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecules of two nematodes, Caenorhabditis elegans [13,794 nucleotide pairs (ntp)], and Ascaris suum (14,284 ntp) are presented and compared. Each molecule contains the genes for two ribosomal RNAs (+rRNA and 1-rRNA), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and 12 proteins, all of which are transcribed in the same direction. The protein genes are the s...

The poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) is able to interact with the 3’ poly(A) tail of eukaryotic mRNA, promoting its translation. Cleavage of PABP by viral proteases encoded by several picornaviruses and caliciviruses plays a part in the abrogation of cellular protein synthesis. We report that infection of MT-2 cells with HIV-1 leads to an efficient proteolysis of PABP. Analysis of PABP integrity ...
