Both immature and adult rat lungs contain three prominent soluble beta-galactoside-binding proteins with subunit Mr approximately 14,500, 18,000, and 29,000 rather than only the one noted previously. They are readily resolved by ion-exchange chromatography, and antibodies raised against them show little cross-reaction. The three proteins were also found in immature heart, skeletal muscle, and liver, but only the protein with subunit Mr approximately 14,500 was found in these tissues in young adults.

The primary cilium (PC) is a microtubule-based antenna-like organelle projecting from the surface of the cell membrane. We previously reported that PC formation could be regulated by nephronophthisis 3 (NPHP3) expression followed by its interaction with thymosin β4. Here, we investigated whether cancer cell viability is regulated by NPHP3-mediated PC formation.

Background: In pigs, several different trichomonad species such as , and have been described as inhabiting the digestive tract. However, little information is available on the epidemiology of these neglected parasites in the Chinese pig population.

Methods: The prevalence of , and among 500 fecal specimens from pigs at seven pigs farms in Anhui Province in China between Oct and Dec 2014, was determined by PCR and DNA sequence analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes.

Thermosensitive Cation-Selective Mesochannels: PNIPAM-Capped Mesoporous Thin Films as Bioinspired Interfacial Architectures with Concerted Functions.

Chemistry

October 2017

Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas Teóricas y Aplicadas (INIFTA), Departamento de Química, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, CONICET, CC. 16 Suc. 4, La Plata, 1900, Argentina.

Rational design and elaborate modular construction of interfacial architectures in which molecular transport is mediated by responsive/adaptive nanostructures has become a growing and fertile field of research in supramolecular materials chemistry. This work presents, for the first time, the use of PNIPAM-capped mesoporous silica thin films as thermosensitive cation-selective mesochannels. Thus far, this feature has only been observed in thermosensitive biological channels.

Analysis of ribosomal RNA transcription termination and 3' end processing in Leishmania amazonensis.

Gene

February 2010

Laboratorio de Genética Molecular. Instituto de Biología Experimental. Universidad Central de Venezuela. Apartado Postal 48162. Caracas 1041A. Venezuela.

The control of gene expression in the human parasite Leishmania occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level. Nevertheless, basic cell processes such as ribosome biogenesis seem to be conserved. Mature ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are synthesized from typical RNA polymerase I (Pol I) promoters and processed by pathways analogous to other eukaryotes.
