Evidence that the ability to respond to a calcium stimulus in exocytosis is determined by the secretory granule membrane: Comparison of exocytosis of injected bovine chromaffin granule membranes and endogenous cortical granules in Xenopus laevis oocytes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-06)
1. To understand better the mechanisms which govern the sensitivity of secretory vesicles to a calcium stimulus, we compared the abilities of injected chromaffin granule membranes and of endogenous cortical granules to ...
Whole skeletal muscle transplantation: Mechanisms responsible for functional deficits
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-04-05)
One aspect of tissue engineering of skeletal muscle involves the transposition and transplantation of whole muscles to treat muscles damaged by injury or disease. The transposition of whole muscles has been used for many ...
A retinoic acid-inducible skin-specific gene (RIS-1/psoriasin): molecular cloning and analysis of gene expression in human skin in vivo and cultured skin cells in vitro
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-06)
A retinoic acid (RA) inducible skin-specific gene transcript (RIS-1) was isolated by differential hybridization screening of a RA-treated human skin cDNA library. The library was constructed from pooled RNA derived from ...
Lack of correspondence between the room-temperature phosphorescence decay-components and Trp residues in a series of Trp-->Cys or Trp-->Phemutants of human carbonic anhydrase II
(Elsevier, 1994-10-17)
The room temperature phosphorescence of native human carbonic anhydrase (CA), and several mutants of this enzyme has been investigated. In these mutants the seven tryptophan residues in the native protein have sequentially ...
Deletion analysis of the dystrophin-actin binding domain
(Elsevier, 1994-05-16)
Three sequence motifs at the N-terminus of dystrophin have previously been proposed to be important for binding to actin. By analyzing a series of purified bacterial fusion proteins deleted for each of these sites we have ...
Reconstitution of the spinach oxygen-evolving complex with recombinant Arabidopsis manganese-stabilizing protein
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-10)
The psbO gene of cyanobacteria, green algae and higher plants encodes the precursor of the 33 kDa manganese-stabilizing protein (MSP), a water-soluble subunit of photosystem II (PSII). Using a pET-T7 cloning/expression ...
Identification of Rab 5 But Not Rab 3A in Rat Pancreatic Zymogen Granule Membranes
(Elsevier, 1994-04-15)
Low molecular weight GTP-binding (LMWG) proteins are known to be present on secretory organelles and a role for Rab 3A in exocytosis of synaptic vesicles has been postulated. Pancreatic zymogen granules possess multiple ...
Tissue engineering of a bioartificial kidney
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-03-25)
Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing field in biotechnology. The use and packaging of synthetic materials, biologic compounds, and cellular components of specific tissues can be envisioned to replace physiologic function ...
Nutritional indices in the gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar (L.)) under field conditions and host switching situations
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-03)
A large proportion of gypsy moths ( Lymantria dispar (L.)) are likely to experience multiple species diets in the field due to natural wandering and host switching which occurs with these insects. Nutritional indices in ...
The γ phosphorylase kinase gene, Phkg , maps to mouse Chromosome 5 near Gus
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1994-01)
Phosphorylase kinase is a multimeric regulatory enzyme in the glycogenolytic pathway. Interest in various types of phosphorylase kinase enzyme deficiency has focused attention on cloning and mapping the enzyme subunits. ...
