SPOC domain of mint protein induces hematopoietic differentiation via Bmp4/Smad5 pathway
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Mint is a newly identified molecule that mediates signal transduction and modulates chromatin repression. Mint family members contain a highly conserved C-terminus SPOC domain (SpenParalog and OrthologsC-terminal domain) ...
Effect of 4% glycerol and low aeration on result of expression in Escherichia coli of Cin3 and three Venturia inaequalis EST’s recombinant proteins
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
The phytopathogenic fungus Venturia inaequalis causes scab of apple. Once this fungus penetrates the plant surface, it forms a specialized body called a stroma between the inner cuticle surface and the epidermal cell wall. ...
Identification and preliminary characterization of novel B3-type metallo-β-lactamases
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a major global threat to human health. Among the strategies employed by pathogens to acquire resistance the use of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), a family of dinuclear metalloenzymes, is ...
Biocatalytic production of chitosan polymers from shrimp shells, using a recombinant enzyme produced by pichia pastoris
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Chitosan has a unique chemical structure with high charge density, reactive hydroxyl and amino groups, and extensive hydrogen bonding. Chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-acetamido groups of ...
Generation of pig primary fibroblast cells harboring defective MC4R genes by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis: A gene-driven, nontransgenic approach to pig improvement
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-06)
Transgenic pigs have been produced with the aim of further improving pigs in terms of economic and environmental traits, but these animals have not been allowed to enter the food chain. As an alternative approach to ...
Chimeric oncogenic interferon regulatory factor-2 (IRF-2): Degradation products are biologically active
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Interferon Regulatory Factor-2 (IRF-2) belongs to IRF family, was identified as a mammalian transcrip-tion factor involved in Interferon beta (IFNβ) gene regulation. Besides that IRF-2 is involved in ...
Determination and inheritance of phytic acid as marker in diverse genetic group of bread wheat
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)
Phytic acid (Myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6 hexa-kisphophate) is a storage form of phosphorus and can accumulate to the levels as high as 35% in the wheat kernel. Phytic acid acts as an inhibitor for macronutrients as well as ...
Characterization of the role of Smu1 in nuclear localization of splicing factors in the mammalian temperature-sensitive mutant
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
A temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of the CHO-K1 cell line, tsTM18, grows at 340C but not at 390C. Smu1 is the gene responsible for ts defects of tsTM18 cells. Previously, we found that the Smu1 ts defect altered the ...
Quantitative detection of Streptococcus mutans from saliva using FTATM elute cards and real-time polymerase chain reaction
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)
Dental caries is a localized, transmissible, pathological infection process that ends up in the destruction of hard dental tissue. Numerous reports have shown the close relationship between salivary levels of Streptococcus ...
Genetic diversity of hybrid durian resulted from cross breeding between Durio kutejensis and Durio zibethinus based on random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)
One of the ways to improve the quality of Indonesian Durian is by utilizing germplasm diversity. Durio zibethinus is the most cultivated durian in Indonesia, whereas Durio kutejensis is a unique durian cultivar which has ...
