High levels of non-activated receptors in glucocorticoid-sensitive S49wt mouse lymphoma cells incubated with dexamethasone
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Upon agonist binding the heteromeric glucocorticoid receptor complex under goes a conformational change (receptor activation). This event involves the dissociation of a dimer of 90 kDa heat shock proteins. Whereas receptor ...
Characterization of gastrin amidation in the rat and porcine antrum: comparison with the pituitary
(Elsevier, 1990-04-24)
The formation of biologically active gastrin from glycine-extended processing intermediates occurs via the action of a peptide [alpha]-amidating enzyme. The observation that gastrin exists primarily as unamidated precursors ...
Rapid protein release from Escherichia coli by chemical permeabilization under fermentation conditions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1992-03-25)
Overall protein release greater than 75% in less than 1 h can be attained by exposing exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells to 0.4 M guanidine plus 0.5% Triton X-100 at 37°C in medium. Cell growth stops immediately ...
Transcriptional regulation during T-cell development: the [alpha] TCR gene as a molecular model
(Elsevier, 1992)
The regulation of gene expression during lymphocyte differentiation is a complex process involving interactions between multiple positive and negative transcriptional regulatory elements. In this article, transcriptional ...
Effect of Neuropeptide Y on Natural Killer Activity of Normal Human Lymphocytes
(Elsevier, 1993-03)
The in vitro effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on natural killer (NK) cell activities of normal lymphocytes was investigated. NPY at 10-9 to 10-12M concentrations produced significant suppression of NK activity against K 562 ...
The effects of exopolymers on cell morphology and culturability of Leuconostoc mesenteroides during starvation
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1999-11)
Biofilm formation by bacterial cells can be used to modify the subsurface permeability for the purpose of microbial enhanced oil recovery, bio-barrier formation, and in situ bioremediation. Once injected into the subsurface, ...
On-line multichannel Raman spectroscopic detection system for capillary zone electrophoresis
(Elsevier, 1991)
An on-line multichannel Raman spectroscopic detection system for capillary zone electrophoresis using a charge-coupled device as the detector is described. Resonant, near-resonant and non-resonant excitation Raman ...
CCK antagonists reveal that CCK-8 and JMV-180 interact with different sites on the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor
(Elsevier, 1994)
The ability of CCKA antagonists to inhibit full and partial CCK agonists of the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor has been studied. When isolated rat pancreatic acini were superfused with CCK-8 (10 pM-1 nM) or CCK-4 ...
cDNA and derived amino acid sequence of rabbit nasal cytochrome P450NMb (P450IIG1), a unique isozyme possibly involved in olfaction
(Elsevier, 1991-02-15)
Olfactory-specific cytochrome P450NMb was previously purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from microsomes of rabbit nasal mucosa in this laboratory. In the present study, a cDNA library made from poly(A)+ RNA from rabbit ...
