By TADAO rfAKEUCHI AND KENJI KIN0SHITA I N PREVIOUS STIJI)IES Takeuchi et al.’5 have showni that anssylophosphorylase could be demisonsstrated ins humisams amid ansimal tissue by histochemical nieanss. They did this by using the specific staimsimsg reactions of polysaccharide niewly fornssed frons glucose-i-phosphate as a result of emizynse activity. The presemsce of the enizyme was dennomistra...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We have shown that A(3) adenosine receptor mediates apoptosis in human lung cancer cells such as A549 cells, an epithelial adenocarcinoma cell line, and Lu-65 cells, a giant cell cancer cell line, via each different signaling pathway. AMID, a pro-apoptotic protein, induces caspase-independent apoptosis by accumulating in the nucleus. The present study investigated AMID-dependent...

We devise dynamic algorithms for the following (weak) visibility polygon computation problems: • Maintaining visibility polygon of a fixed point located interior to simple polygon amid vertex insertions and deletions to simple polygon. • Answering visibility polygon query corresponding to any point located exterior to simple polygon amid vertex insertions and deletions to simple polygon. • Main...

Approximate query answering has recently emerged as an effective method for generating a viable answer. Among various techniques for approximate query answering, wavelets have received a lot of attention. However, wavelet techniques minimizing the root squared error (i.e., the L2 norm error) have several problems such as the poor quality of reconstructed data when the original data is biased. I...

In the eubacterial cell, the peptidoglycan is perpetually hydrolyzed throughout the cell cycle by different enzymes such as lytic transglycosylases, endopeptidases, and amidases. In Escherichia coli, four N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidases, AmiA, -B, -C, and -D, are present in the periplasm. AmiA, -B, and -C are soluble enzymes, whereas AmiD is a lipoprotein anchored in the outer membrane. To ...
