Background: Bast fibres from the phloem tissues of flax are scientifically interesting and economically useful due in part to a dynamic system of secondary cell wall deposition. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the process of cell wall development in flax, we extracted...

Children's Expression of Emotional and Cognitive Mental States in their Story Generation from Pictures
Download2014-05-05
Ortlieb, Andrea, Babar, Aseea, Baird, Shelby, Lang, Bretton
Background: The term mental state can be used to describe a person’s emotional or cognitive condition (i.e. feelings, thoughts, or perceptions). Narratives provide an important context for the use of mental state words, since stories in Western culture frequently describe characters’ thoughts...

Cytokine profiles in pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and relationships with viral load and fetal outcome
Download2014
Plastow, G., Souza, C. J. H., Lunney, J. K., Ashley, C., Ladinig, A., Harding, J. C. S.
In spite of extensive research, immunologic control mechanisms against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSv) remain poorly understood. Cytokine responses have been exhaustively studied in nursery pigs and show contradictory results. Since no detailed reports on cytokine...

Endogenous melanocortin antagonist in fish: Structure, brain mapping and regulation by fasting of the goldfish agouti-related protein gene
Download2003
Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin. In mammals, central AGRP expression is restricted to the arcuate nucleus in which it plays a key role in the control of energy balance by antagonizing melanocortin effects at melanocortin 4 receptors. In goldfish,...

Large-scale proteome profile of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill for physiological and biomarker discovery studies
Download2009
De Souza, A. G., Goss, G. G., MacCormack, T. J., Wang, N., Li, L.
Abstract: Zebrafish are an important model in vertebrate genetics, developmental biology, physiology, and toxicology. In this study, we established the first large-scale proteome profile of a teleost fish tissue using a shotgun method based on two-dimensional liquid chromatography-electrospray...

Berry, K.M., Erickson, T., Callander, D., Koss, R., Ngai, J., Stout, J., Waskiewicz, A.J., Wuennenberg-Stapleton, K., Moens, C.B., Hagey, D.W., French, C.R.
Background Pbx genes encode TALE class homeodomain transcription factors that pattern the developing neural tube, pancreas, and blood. Within the hindbrain, Pbx cooperates with Hox proteins to regulate rhombomere segment identity. Pbx cooperates with Eng to regulate midbrain-hindbrain boundary...

Sensen, C.W., Goss, G.G., Childs, S.J., Zuccolo, J., Bau, J., Deans, J.P.
Background: The MS4A gene family in humans includes CD20 (MS4A1), FcRb (MS4A2), Htm4 (MS4A3), and at least 13 other syntenic genes encoding membrane proteins, most having characteristic tetraspanning topology. Expression of MS4A genes is variable in tissues throughout the body; however, several...

Purification and characterization of an anaerobically induced alanine aminotransferase from barley roots
Download1992
Alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT, EC 2.6.1.2) is an enzyme that is induced under anaerobic conditions in cereal roots. In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots, there are a number of isoforms of AlaAT. We have identified the anaerobically induced isoform and have purified it to homogeneity. The...

Systematic microRNAome profiling reveals the roles of microRNAs in milk protein metabolism and quality: Insights on low-quality forage utilization
Download2016
Wang, Diming, Sun, Huizeng, Liu, Jianxin, Guan, Le Luo, Wang, Bing, Liang, Guanxiang
In this study, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of milk protein production in dairy cows by studying the miRNAomes of five key metabolic tissues involved in protein synthesis and metabolism from dairy cows fed high- and low-quality diets. In total, 340, 338, 337, 330, and 328...
