Both Enolase and the DEAD-Box RNA Helicase CrhB Can Form Complexes with RNase E in sp. Strain PCC 7120.

At present, little is known about the RNA metabolism driven by the RNA degradosome in cyanobacteria. RNA helicase and enolase are the common components of the RNA degradosome in many bacteria. Here, we provide evidence that both enolase and the DEAD-box RNA helicase CrhB can interact with RNase E in () sp.

A manganese-oxidizing bacterial consortium and its biogenic Mn oxides for dye decolorization and heavy metal adsorption.

Manganese (Mn) contamination is a common environmental problem in the world and manganese oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play important roles in bioremediation of heavy metal and organic pollution. In this study, a novel MOB consortium AS containing core microbes of Sphingobacterium and Bacillus was acclimated from Mn-contaminated rivulet sediments. The MOB consortium AS presented good Mn(II) removal performance under 500-10,000 mg/L Mn(II), with Mn(II) removal capacities ranging from 481 to 3478 mg/L.

[Effect of propofol on myelin basic protein expression and myelination of oligodendrocytes in neonatal SD rats].

Objective: To investigate the effects of different doses of propofol on myelin basic protein (MBP) synthesis and myelination of oligodendrocytes in neonatal SD rats.

Methods: A total of 57 neonatal SD rats (7 days old) were randomly divided into control group (=13), vehicle (fat emulsion) group (=5), and 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg propofol groups (=13 in each group). Eight hours after a single intraperitoneal injection of propofol or the vehicle, the rats were examined for expressions of mRNA, caspase-3 mRNA, cleaved caspase-3 and MBP in the brain tissues using qPCR and Western blotting.

Comprehensive analysis of non-small-cell lung cancer microarray datasets identifies several prognostic biomarkers.

To find accurate and effective biomarkers for diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We downloaded microarray datasets GSE19188, GSE33532, GSE101929 and GSE102286 from the database of Gene Expression Omnibus. We screened out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMs) with GEO2R.
