The author discusses the application of quark cluster model to baryon-baryon interaction. short-range repulsion and spin-orbit force in nucleon-nucleon potential are shown be well described by quark-quark interaction exchange between two nucleons. An extension study systems with strangeness is made. There studies more details about effect coming from composite structure baryon dihyperon, which a flavour SU(3) singlet state, also discussed terms model. Finally effects degrees freedom nuclei,...
Cultivation of microalgae in wastewater is strongly related to the selection suitable species for a specific type wastewater. Thus, this study presented cultivation isolated strains, Acutodesmus obliquus CN01 and Desmodesmus maximus CN06 using municipal wastewater, along with Chlorella vulgaris NIES-1269 as control species. The highest growth rate 0.23/day was achieved by D. CN06, while all exhibited excellent nutrient removal efficiencies. High NH3-N demonstrated strains complete total...
Rho1p is a yeast homolog of mammalian RhoA small GTP-binding protein. localized at the growth sites and required for bud formation. We have recently shown that Bni1p potential target regulates reorganization actin cytoskeleton through interactions with profilin, an monomer-binding Using two-hybrid screening system, we cloned gene encoding protein interacted Bni1p. This protein, Spa2p, was known to be tip implicated in establishment cell polarity. The C-terminal 254 amino acid region...
Rap1 small GTP-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence at its effector domain as that of Ras. been shown to antagonize Ras functions, such Ras-induced transformation NIH 3T3 cells and activation c-Raf-1 kinase-dependent mitogen-activated (MAP) kinase cascade in Rat-1 cells, whereas we have well stimulates DNA synthesis Swiss cells. We established a cell-free assay system which activates bovine brain B-Raf kinase. Here used this examined effect on activity phosphorylate recombinant...
Nectins, Ca(2+)-independent immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecules, induce the activation of Cdc42 and Rac small G proteins, enhancing formation cadherin-based adherens junctions (AJs) claudin-based tight junctions. Nectins recruit activate c-Src at nectin-based contact sites. then activates through FRG, a Cdc42-GDP/GTP exchange factor. We showed here that Rap1 protein was involved in nectin-induced AJs. recruited to sites locally activated c-Src-Crk-C3G signaling there. The either...
<i>Background:</i> Intratumoral hypoxia is known to lead increased aggressiveness and distant metastasis. However, the interplay underlying these actions still unknown. <i>Objective:</i> We explored whether cancer cells might acquire a stem-like phenotype under hypoxia, consequently leading an aggressive phenotype, including invasiveness <i>Methods:</i> Under normoxia (20% O<sub>2</sub>) or (1% O<sub>2</sub>), expression of CD133...
