CODON USAGE AND GENE-EXPRESSION LEVEL IN DICTYOSTELIUM-DISCOIDEUM - HIGHLY EXPRESSED GENES DO PREFER OPTIMAL CODONS
(1989)Codon usage patterns in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum have been re-examined (a total of 58 genes have been analysed). Considering the extreme A + T-richness of this genome (G + C = 22%), there is a surprising ... -
Replication and segregational stability of Bacillus plasmid pBAA1.
(1989)A cryptic plasmid, pBAA1, was identified in an industrial Bacillus strain. The plasmid is 6.8 kilobases in size and is present in cells at a copy number of approximately 5 per chromosome equivalent. The plasmid has been ... -
Relationship among oxidative stress, growth cycle, and sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
(1987)The sensitivity of Bacillus subtilis to hydrogen peroxide (oxidative stress) was found to vary with the position of the culture in the growth cycle. The most dramatic change occurred at the stationary phase, when the cells ... -
Oxidative stress and growth temperature in Bacillus subtilis.
(1987)Pretreatment of Bacillus subtilis with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide protected the cells against the lethal effects of higher levels of oxidative stress. During the period of adaptation, eight proteins were ... -
Identification and Structural Characterization of Interneurons of the Drosophila Brain by Monoclonal Antibodies of the Wurzburg Hybridoma Library
(2013)Several novel synaptic proteins have been identified by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of the Würzburg hybridoma library generated against homogenized Drosophila brains, e.g. cysteine string protein, synapse-associated protein ... -
Plasticity of recurrent inhibition in the Drosophila antennal lobe
(2012)Recurrent inhibition, wherein excitatory principal neurons stimulate inhibitory interneurons that feedback on the same principal cells, occurs ubiquitously in the brain. However, the regulation and function of recurrent ... -
Synapsin Function in GABA-ergic Interneurons Is Required for Short-Term Olfactory Habituation
(2013)In Drosophila, short-term (STH) and long-term habituation (LTH) of olfactory avoidance behavior are believed to arise from the selective potentiation of GABAergic synapses between multiglomerular local circuit interneurons ... -
Fly model causes neurological rethink
(2013)A Drosophila model for a neurological disorder called type 2B Charcot- Marie-Tooth disease reveals that it has its origins in a partial loss of function, rather than a gain of function, which points to the need for ... -
Revisiting AFLP fingerprinting for an unbiased assessment of genetic structure and differentiation of taurine and zebu cattle
(2014)Background Descendants from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius), taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu cattle (Bos indicus) were domesticated 10,000 years ago in Southwestern and Southern Asia, respectively, and colonized the ... -
How Much Is That in Dog Years? The Advent of Canine Population Genomics
(2014)ABSTRACT The authors comment on two studies that analyzed multiple genomes of dogs and wolves. The studies reached different conclusions about the date and population effects, a disparity attributed to reliance on molecular ... -
Meta-Analysis of mitochondrial DNA reveals several population bottlenecks during worldwide migrations of cattle
(2014)Several studies have investigated the differentiation of mitochondrial DNA in Eurasian, African and American cattle as well as archaeological bovine material. A global survey of these studies shows that haplogroup distributions ... -
Emerging role for members of the Bcl-2 family in mitochondrial morphogenesis.
(2009)Summary Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis by controlling the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c via the Bax/Bak channel. However, recent studies have also implicated several members of this family in the regulation ... -
The tale of a modern animal plague: Tracing the evolutionary history and determining the time-scale for foot and mouth disease virus
(2009)Despite significant advances made in the understanding of its epidemiology, foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) is among the most unexpected agricultural devastating plagues. While the disease manifests itself as seven ...
