DQX1, an RNA-dependent ATPase homolog with a novel DEAQ box: expression pattern and genomic sequence comparison of the human and mouse genes
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2001-06)
DQX1 is a novel gene related to the RNA-dependent ATPases. The gene was classified as a member of the DEAD/H family on the basis of the conserved order and spacing of ten short protein motifs. The unique features of DQX1 ...
No jacket required – new fungal lineage defies dress code
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-02)
Analyses of environmental DNAs have provided tantalizing evidence for “rozellida” or “cryptomycota”, a clade of mostly undescribed and deeply diverging aquatic fungi. Here, we put cryptomycota into perspective through ...
Shadow enhancers: Frequently asked questions about distributed cis ‐regulatory information and enhancer redundancy
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-02)
This paper, in the form of a frequently asked questions page (FAQ), addresses outstanding questions about “shadow enhancers”, quasi‐redundant cis ‐regulatory elements, and their proposed roles in transcriptional control. ...
Elevated Atmospheric CO 2 Alters Soil Microbial Communities Associated with Trembling Aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) Roots
(Springer-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-07)
Global atmospheric CO 2 levels are expected to double within the next 50 years. To assess the effects of increased atmospheric CO 2 on soil ecosystems, cloned trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) seedlings were grown ...
Building sensory receptors on the tongue
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2004-12)
Neurotrophins, neurotrophin receptors and sensory neurons are required for the development of lingual sense organs. For example, neurotrophin 3 sustains lingual somatosensory neurons. In the traditional view, sensory axons ...
A growth/mortality trade-off in larval salamanders and the coexistence of intraguild predators and prey
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-01)
Behavioral and morphological traits often influence a key trade-off between resource acquisition and vulnerability to predation, and understanding trait differences between species can provide critical insight into their ...
Spatial compartmentalization of signal transduction in insulin action
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03)
Insulin resistance is thought to be the primary defect in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Thus, understanding the cellular mechanisms of insulin action may contribute significantly to developing new treatments for ...
Beyond nutrients: Food‐derived microRNAs provide cross‐kingdom regulation
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-04)
Food turns out to be not only the nutrient supplier for our body but also a carrier of regulatory information. Interestingly, a recent study made the discovery that some plant/food‐derived microRNAs (miRNAs) accumulate in ...
Allelic mutations of the sodium channel SCN8A reveal multiple cellular and physiological functions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
Allelic mutations of Scn8a in the mouse have revealed the range of neurological disorders that can result from alternations of one neuronal sodium channel. Null mutations produce the most severe phenotype, with motor neuron ...
MACF1 gene structure: a hybrid of plectin and dystrophin
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2001-11)
Mammalian MACF1 (Macrophin1; previously named ACF7) is a giant cytoskeletal linker protein with three known isoforms that arise by alternative splicing. We isolated a 19.1-kb cDNA encoding a fourth isoform (MACF1-4) with ...
