Properties of yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and their modification by proteolytic enzymes : I. Stability of decarboxylases from wild-type and mutant strains
(Elsevier, 1968)
High concentrations of inorganic phosphate and ammonium sulfate stabilize yeast pyruvate decarboxylase to heating at 60 [deg] for long periods of time in the presence of TPP and Mg+. When heated at 60 [deg] in phosphate ...
Streptococcus faecalis sex pheromone (cAD1) response: Evidence that the peptide inhibitor excreted by pAD1-containing cells may be plasmid determined
(Elsevier, 1987-01)
Streptococcus faecalis strains harboring the conjugative plasmid pAD1 excrete a small peptide, iAD1, which inhibits the sex pheromone cAD1. Studies making use of the host strain Streptococcus faecium 9790, which normally ...
Tn917 transposase. Sequence correction reveals a single open reading frame corresponding to the tnpA determinant of Tn3-family elements
(Elsevier, 1991-03)
A nucleotide sequence correction on the Enterococcus faecalis transposon Tn917 indicates that what was formerly thought to be two open reading frames (ORF5 and ORF6) is actually one reading frame (ORF5). The latter exhibits ...
Synthesis of the Tetraketide Lactones from the Pikromycin Biosynthetic Pathway
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-07)
Synthesis of tetraketide lactones 2 and 3 , which are likely to be produced by a model pikromycin polyketide synthase (PKS), has been investigated. The tetraketide lactones with six-membered rings, 2a and 2b , were ...
Evidence for the utilization of host tRNA(m5 U)methylase to modify tRNA coded by phage T4
(Elsevier, 1973-04)
Mutants of Escherichia coli defective only in the biosynthesis of 5-methyluridine (ribothymidine) in their transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) were employed to investigate whether phage T4 induces its own tRNA (m5U)methylase ...
mnd2: A New Mouse Model of Inherited Motor Neuron Disease
(Elsevier, 1993-06)
The autosomal recessive mutation mnd2 results in early onset motor neuron disease with rapidly progressive paralysis, severe muscle wasting, regression of thymus and spleen, and death before 40 days of age. mnd2 has been ...
Sex pheromones and plasmid transfer in Enterococcus faecalis
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
Plasmid-free Enterococcus faecalis excrete peptides (sex pheromones) which specifically induce a mating response in strains harboring certain conjugative plasmids. The response is characterized by the synthesis of a "fuzzy" ...
Development of pure culture biofilms of P. putida on solid supports
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-03-15)
Pseudomonas putida biofilms were developed on and biofilm accumulation rate data were obtained for the following two classes of support materials: charged surfaces and noncharged hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The ...
