Interaction of linear manno-oligosaccharides with three mannose-specific bulb lectins. Comparison with mannose/glucose-binding lectins
(Elsevier, 1992-05-22)
Three new mannose-binding lectins, isolated from daffodil (NPA), amaryllis (HHA), and snowdrop (GNA) bulbs, are capable of precipitating with a linear mannopentaose (Man[alpha]1-3Man[alpha]1-3Man[alpha]1-3Man[alpha]1-2Man). ...
A dual function activity-dependent, muscle-specific enhancer from rat nicotinic acetylcholine receptor δ-subunit gene
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-11)
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) mediate communication between nerve and muscle. The expression of these receptors increases dramatically during muscle development when myoblasts are fusing into multinucleated ...
Interaction of five -mannose-specific lectins with a series of synthetic branched trisaccharides
(Elsevier, 1991-06-25)
The interaction of a series of synthetic, branched trisaccharides with five -mannose-specific lectins was studied by precipitation-inhibition assay. The branched methyl [alpha]--mannotrioside, [alpha]--Manp-(1-->3)-[[ ...
Coupling of dihydroriboflavin oxidation to the formation of the higher valence states of hemeproteins
(Elsevier, 1991-11-27)
SummaryThe reactions between hydrogen peroxide and hemeproteins have been coupled to the oxidation of dihydroriboflavin so as to provide a simple method for measuring the rate constant of hemeprotein peroxidation. ...
Structure-function analysis in nuclear RNase P RNA
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-06)
Eukaryotic ribonuclease P (RNase P) enzymes require both RNA and protein subunits for activity in vivo and in vitro . We have undertaken an analysis of the complex RNA subunit of the nuclear holoenzyme in an effort to ...
Role for calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in coupling muscle activity to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene expression in rat
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-05)
Neurally evoked muscle electrical activity suppresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene expression in extrajunctional domains of adult muscle fibers. It has been proposed that this regulation is mediated by ...
Flow cytometric analysis of human erythrocytes: I. Probed with lectins and immunoglobulins
(Elsevier, 1991)
A recent review (Aminoff, 1988) summarized the evidence for and against our hypothesis for the role of glycophorin in the senescence and clearance of mammalian red blood cells (RBC) from circulation. This hypothesis ...
Identification and localization of an immunoreactiveAMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit (GluR4) with respect to identified photoreceptor synapses in the outer plexiform layer of goldfish retina
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-10)
L-glutamate, the main excitatory synaptic transmitter in the retina, is released from photoreceptors and evokes responses in second-order retinal neurons (horizontal, bipolar cells) which utilize both ionotropic and ...
A comparative study of mannose-binding lectins from the amaryllidaceae and alliaceae
(Elsevier, 1991-01-02)
A comparative study of the lectins from the families Amaryllidaceae and Alliaceae reveals many common features: all bind-mannose exclusively and have similar molecular structures and amino acid compositions. All these ...
Yeast expression vectors using RNA polymerase III promoters
(Elsevier, 1994-12-30)
A series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae -- Escherichia coli shuttle vectors is described in which small RNAs can be stably expressed in yeast from two different promoters for RNA polymerase III transcription. The vectors are ...
