Aims Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 catalyses the cleavage of angiotensin (Ang) I to Ang 1‐9 and II 1‐7. ACE2 deficiency impairs cardiac contractility upregulates hypoxia-induced genes, suggesting a link with myocardial ischaemia. We studied expression after infarction (MI) in rat as well human failing hearts.

Abstract The tumor suppressor BRCA2 participates in DNA double-strand break repair by RAD51-dependent homologous recombination and protects stressed replication forks from nucleolytic attack. We demonstrate that the C-terminal Recombinase Binding (CTRB) region of BRCA2, encoded gene exon 27, harbors a binding activity. CTRB alone stimulates strand exchange activity RAD51 permits utilization RPA-coated ssDNA for exchange. Moreover, functionally synergizes with Oligonucleotide fold containing...

Bacteria produce extracellular enzymes to obtain resources from complex chemical substrates, but this strategy is vulnerable cheating by cells that take up reaction products without paying the cost of enzyme production. We hypothesized would suppress production in co-cultures cheater and producer bacteria, particularly under well-mixed conditions. To test hypothesis, we monitored protease expression frequencies Pseudomonas fluorescens genotypes over time mixed liquid cultures on agar plates....

We produced harboring mutant allele lacking exons 2 3, resulting hypomorphic expressed <5% wild-type levels. Despite...

To meet the demand for rapid synthesis of chorion (eggshell) proteins, Drosophila ovarian follicle cells amplify chromosomal loci containing gene clusters up to 60-fold. Amplification occurs by repeated firing one or more origins located within each cluster. Deletion analyses transgenic constructs derived from third chromosome cluster have identified a 320-bp amplification control element (ACE3) required amplification, as well several stimulatory enhancing regions (AERs). Two-dimensional...

Within the context of contemporary nursing practice, bedside handover has been advocated as a potentially more suitable mode for achieving patient‐centred care. Given that patients can play an important role in process, better understanding patients' perspectives could be critical determinate successful implementation practice. Using phenomenological approach, this study attempted to explore perceptions handover. Four key themes emerged from patient interviews: ‘a effective and personalised...
