RAPD-PCR and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis of alkaline protease producing bacteria isolated from soil of India: Identification and detection of genetic variability
Abstract 178 bacterial strains were isolated from the soil samples collected from different regions of India out of which, 20 bacterial isolates were selected for alkaline protease production. The alkaline protease production efficiency of organisms ...

Flow cytometric analysis and microsatellite genotyping reveal extensive DNA content variation in Trypanosoma cruzi populations and expose contrasts between natural and experimental hybrids
Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi exhibits remarkable genetic heterogeneity. This is evident at the nucleotide level but also structurally, in the form of karyotypic variation and DNA content differences between strains. Although...

A Conserved Oct4/POUV-Dependent Network Links Adhesion and Migration to Progenitor Maintenance
Summary Background The class V POU domain transcription factor Oct4 (Pou5f1) is a pivotal regulator of embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Oct4 is also...

Mitochondria: Impaired mitochondrial translation in human disease
Abstract Defects of the mitochondrial protein synthesis cause a subgroup of mitochondrial diseases, which are usually associated with decreased activities of multiple respiratory chain (RC) enzymes. The clinical presentations of these disorders are...

Valeriemaya seagriefii sp. nov. (Delesseriaceae, Rhodophyta) from South Africa
A red alga that had previously been known from South Africa under the name 'Erythroglossum sp.' is recognised to represent a new species of Valeriemaya: V. seagriefii sp. nov. Collections of this alga occurring in the lower intertidal and subtidal habitats of...

Inputs and outputs of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation: Relevance to oxidative stress
Abstract Oxidative stress can cause DNA breaks which induce activation of the DNA nick sensor enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), part of the 17 member PARP enzyme family. PARP-1 modifies target proteins by attaching to them several...

A Clinically Relevant Animal Model of Temporomandibular Disorder and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Comorbidity
Abstract Temporomandibular disorder and irritable bowel syndrome are comorbid functional chronic pain disorders of unknown etiology that are triggered/exacerbated by stress. Here we present baseline phenotypic characterization of a novel animal...

Use of Host-like Peptide Motifs in Viral Proteins Is a Prevalent Strategy in Host-Virus Interactions
Summary Viruses interact extensively with host proteins, but the mechanisms controlling these interactions are not well understood. We present a comprehensive analysis of eukaryotic linear motifs (ELMs) in 2,208 viral genomes and reveal that viruses ...

Function of Trigger Factor and DnaK in Multidomain Protein Folding
Abstract Trigger factor and DnaK protect nascent protein chains from misfolding and aggregation in the E. coli cytosol, but how these chaperones affect the mechanism of de novo protein folding is not yet understood. Upon expression under...

The genus Salsola (Chenopodiaceae) in southern Africa: Systematic significance of leaf anatomy
Almost 90 species of Salsola L. are believed to occur in southern Africa. Correct identification of the different species is, however, rendered problematic by the great morphological similarity of almost all the species, uncertainties concerning the specific...

Hyperbaric oxygen promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells by regulating Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling—An in vitro and in vivo study
Abstract We hypothesized that the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on bone formation is increased via osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which is regulated by Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling. Our in vitro data showed that...

Identification of Allosteric Disulfides from Prestress Analysis
Abstract Disulfide bonds serve to form physical cross-links between residues in protein structures, thereby stabilizing the protein fold. Apart from this purely structural role, they can also be chemically active, participating in redox reactions,...

VARP Is Recruited on to Endosomes by Direct Interaction with Retromer, Where Together They Function in Export to the Cell Surface
Summary VARP is a Rab32/38 effector that also binds to the endosomal/lysosomal R-SNARE VAMP7. VARP binding regulates VAMP7 participation in SNARE complex formation and can therefore influence VAMP7-mediated membrane fusion events. Mutant versions of ...
