Femtosecond yield similar results creation micron-scale textures greatly reduced or no thermal heat effects, whereas result strong effects. Various are...
In Aspergillus nidulans a highly specific l ‐proline transporter is encoded by the prnB gene which tightly linked to all other genes involved in proline catabolism. mycelia, expression of prn structural finely co‐regulated response induction and nitrogen/carbon catabolite repression. this study we establish that also activated during germination conidiospores. This activation persists until development 6 h‐old mycelia it independent mediated pathway‐specific prnA product. We then show that,...
The highly conserved RasGEF1 family of proteins contain a C‐terminal CDC25‐Ras exchange motif domain and an N‐terminal RasGEF‐N domain, are unknown function specificity. Using purified RasGEF1A RasGEF1B proteins, as well Ras we established that very specific factors for Rap2, member the Rap subfamily Ras‐like G‐proteins. They do not act on Rap1 or other members subfamily. Although Rap2 was implicated in regulation cell adhesion, establishment morphology, modulation synapses neurons, no...
Cytokinetic abscission is the cellular process leading to physical separation of two postmitotic sister cells by severing intercellular bridge. The most noticeable structural component bridge a transient organelle termed as midbody, localized at central region marking site abscission. Despite its major role in completion cytokinesis, our understanding spatiotemporal regulation midbody assembly limited. Here, we report first characterization coiled-coil domain-containing protein-124...

Significant NIS upregulation was also reported cancer, indicating a potential use radioiodide treatment. All-trans-retinoic acid (tRA) potent ligand that enhances expression subset cancer cell lines and experimental models. Indirect tRA stimulation cells very well documented; however, direct by tRA-activated nuclear receptors has not been identified yet. Aiming to uncover...
In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, L-proline uptake is mediated by product of prnB gene which codes for a member family amino acid transporters found both in pro- and eukaryotes. Regulation expression has previously been studied great detail at molecular level. However, no studies have addressed possible post-transcriptional controls or kinetic characterisation PrnB transporter. Here we develop rapid efficient method direct measurements proline germinating conidiospores A....
Background Breast cancer is a remarkably heterogeneous disease. Luminal, basal-like, "normal-like", and ERBB2+ subgroups were identified shown to have different prognoses. The mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity are poorly understood. In our study, we explored the role of cellular differentiation senescence as potential cause heterogeneity. Methodology/Principal Findings A panel breast cell lines, isogenic clones, tumors used. Based on their ability generate senescent progeny under...
Coiled-coil domain containing protein-124 (Ccdc124) is a putative mRNA-binding factor associated with cell division, and ribosome biology.

Ataxia represents a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by loss balance and coordination, often resulting from mutations in genes vital for cerebellar function maintenance. Recent advances genomics have identified gene fusion events as critical contributors to various cancers diseases. However, their role ataxia pathogenesis remains largely unexplored. Our study Hdelved into this possibility analyzing RNA sequencing data 1443 diverse samples, including cell mouse...
CD81 (TAPA-1) is a ubiquitously expressed tetraspanin protein identified as component of the B lymphocyte receptor (BCR) and for Hepatitis C Virus. In an effort to identify trans-membrane proteins that interact with T-cell antigen (TCR), we performed membrane yeast two hybrid screen interactor CD3delta subunit TCR. We found in absence CD81, thymocytes from knockout mice, TCR engagement resulted stronger signals. These results were recapitulated T cell lines express low levels through shRNA...
PrnB, the l-proline transporter of Aspergillus nidulans, belongs to Amino acid Polyamine Organocation (APC) family conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In silico analysis limited biochemical evidence suggest that APC transporters comprise 12 transmembrane segments (TMS) connected with relatively short hydrophilic loops (L). However, very little is known on structure-function relationships transporters. This work makes use A. nidulans PrnB address by selecting, constructing analysing...
