IDENTIFICATION AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SRNAS IN NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS

The rotting of potato tubers is usually noticed from the time of planting till harvesting also in country stores as well as in cold stores. The proper isolation, pathogenicity testing and necessary characterization studies are very much essential for identification of actual causal organism which is[r]

The structure/function relationships will need to be analysed to understand the differences in biochemical properties between HvTrxh1 and HvTrxh2. The residues that differ between HvTrxh1 and HvTrxh2 are mainly at the N-termini and C-termini of the proteins, and[r]

Vandetanib (Caprelsa tablets, VNT) is an orally inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. The current research reports the characterization and identification of in vitro, in vivo and reactive intermediates of VNT. In vitro metabolites of VNT were performed by incubation with rat l[r]

The gap between the real and potential photosynthetic rate under field conditions suggests that photosynthesis could potentially be improved. Nuclear genes provide possible targets for improving photosynthetic efficiency.

The fact that the amino acid compositions have been well conserved in cp-19k from three species, although the similarity of sequences was by no means high, indi- cates that the function of the protein may be associ- ated with the amino acid bias. The four amino acids Ser, Thr, L[r]

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in diverse biological processes and play an essential role in various human diseases. The number of lncRNAs identified has increased rapidly in recent years owing to RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology.

1.3 Genomic structure of CD157
The human CD157 cDNA encodes a protein consisting of 290 amino acids attached to a GPI-anchor. The CD157 gene consists of nine exons and eight introns. The flanking region of the CD157 gene contained several potential bindi[r]

To gain insight into the putative role played by the cysteine residues in the original GPI-anchored form of Gas1p, we performed experiments based on site-directed mutagenesis. We chose C74, the most N-terminal cysteine, the one next to it (C103), and C265, which is close to the[r]

ISG expression in the absence of the STAT2 DNA binding domain as revealed by real-time PCR
To more quantitatively examine the expression of IFN- regulated genes in the absence of the STAT2 DNA binding domain, we treated U6A, U6A-2 and U6A- 2VV-II cells w[r]

Small noncoding regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators, regulating mRNAs, proteins, and DNA in bacteria. One class of sRNAs, trans-acting sRNAs, are the most abundant sRNAs transcribed from the intergenic regions (IGRs) of the bacterial genome.
