The murine lymphoma cell line LSTRA expresses high levels of a membrane-associated tyrosine protein kinase, which we now show to be acylated by [3H]myristate in vivo. This [3H]myristate-labeled tyrosine protein kinase is immunoprecipitated from detergent extracts of postnuclear particulate fractions with an antibody directed against its single site of tyrosine phosphorylation. This site has an amino acid sequence also found in the transforming proteins of the Rous sarcoma and Y73 viruses. Preincubation of the antibody with a peptide containing the same sequence completely blocks this immunoprecipitation. The [3H]myristate linkage to the protein is stable in boiling 2% NaDodSO4/0.125 M Tris Cl, pH 6.7/5% 2-mercaptoethanol, which suggests an amide rather than an ester linkage. Analogous attempts to label with [3H]palmitate show negligible incorporation into either nonnuclear particulate proteins or immunoprecipitated proteins. Chemical characterization of the immunoprecipitated protein isolated by NaDodSO4/PAGE verifies that the 3H label is in protein-associated myristate. Sonicated 5% NaDodSO4 extracts of LSTRA and YAC-1 (another murine lymphoma line) cells contain quite different distributions of myristoylated proteins.

Introduction: Small-for-gestational age (SGA) newborns are at increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes and the risk is related to the etiology of growth restriction: highest in placental insufficiency, lowest in constitutional SGA. The aim of this study was to investigate if placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1) or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio are efficient in prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in SGA newborns delivered ≥34 weeks of gestation.
Methods: A prospective observational multicenter cohort study was performed.

Sleep alterations have been described in several neurodegenerative diseases yet are currently poorly characterized in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study investigates sleep macroarchitecture and related hypothalamic signaling disruptions in ALS. Using polysomnography, we found that both patients with ALS as well as asymptomatic and mutation carriers exhibited increased wakefulness and reduced non-rapid eye movement sleep.

Insect melanization triggered by the conversion of prophenoloxidase to active phenoloxidase via serine proteases (SPs) is an important immediate immune response. However, how phytoplasmas evade this immune response to promote their propagation in insect vectors remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that infection of leafhopper vectors with rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) activates the mild melanization response in hemolymph.

For noninvasive light-based physiological monitoring, optimal wavelengths of individual tissue components can be identified using absorption spectroscopy. However, because of the lack of sensitivity of hardware at longer wavelengths, absorption spectroscopy has typically been applied for wavelengths in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) range from 400 to 1,000 nm. Hardware advancements in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range have enabled investigators to explore wavelengths in the ~1,000 nm to 3,000 nm range in which fall characteristic absorption peaks for lipid, protein, and water.
