Abstract: A cluster of genes of the CYP6 family was found in a series of overlapping lambda DASH clones from a genomic library of the house fly, Musca domestica, Four complete genes, CYP6A3, CYP6A4, CYP6A5, and CYP6C1, and fragments of two other genes, CYP6A6 and CYP6C2, were closely linked on a...

The ability to modify RNA secondary structure is crucial for numerous cellular processes. We have characterized two RNA helicase genes, crhB and crhC, which are differentially expressed in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. crhC transcription is limited specifically to cold shock...

Amino acid polymorphisms in strictly conserved domains of a P-type ATPase HMA5 are involved in the mechanism of copper tolerance variation in Arabidopsis
Download2008
Kimura, K., Southron-Francis, J. L., Iuchi, S., Furuzawa, A., Taylor, G. J., Kobayashi, Y., Koyama, H., Kobayashi, M., Kuroda, K.
Copper (Cu) is an essential element in plant nutrition, but it inhibits the growth of roots at low concentrations. Accessions of Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana) vary in their tolerance to Cu. To understand the molecular mechanism of Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis, we performed quantitative trait...

Amplified mitochondrial DNA as a diagnostic marker for species of conifer-feeding Choristoneura (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Download1995
Hickey, D. A., Sperling, F. A. H.
Abstract: We describe a method for identifying conifer-feeding species and lineages of Choristoneura Lederer in Canada and Alaska. The method relies on amplification of mitochondrial (mt) DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); amplified DNA is then digested with restriction enzymes to give...

An alternative physiological role for the EmhABC efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens cLP6a
Download2011
Background Efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily in bacteria are involved in antibiotic resistance and solvent tolerance but have an unknown physiological role. EmhABC, a RND-type efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain cLP6a, extrudes hydrophobic...

Crystallization and preliminary diffraction studies of TraF, a component of the Escherichia coli type IV secretory system
Download2004
Manchak, J., Hayakawa, K., Audette, G.F., Holland, S.J., Frost, L.S., Hazes, B.
TraF, a component of the Escherichia coli type IV secretory system, has been crystallized and preliminary X-ray diffraction data have been collected. TraF is a 26 kDa protein encoded by the E. coli F plasmid and is required for conjugative plasmid transfer and the formation of sex pili. The...

CS23D: A web server for rapid protein structure generation using NMR chemical shifts and sequence data
Download2008
Wishart, D.S., Berjanskii, M., Arndt, D., Lin, G., Tang, P., Zhou, J.
CS23D (chemical shift to 3D structure) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using only assigned nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and sequence data as input. Unlike conventional NMR methods, CS23D requires no NOE and/or J-coupling data to perform...

Density-dependent variation in lifetime breeding success and natural and sexual selection in Soay rams
Download1999
Smith, J.A., Bancroft, D.R., Clutton-Brock, T.H., MacColl, A.D., Pilkington, J., Coltman, D.W., Pemberton, J.M.
Variation in male lifetime breeding success (LBS) is central to understanding selection, yet it has rarely been measured in natural populations of large mammals. Here, we first describe variation in the opportunity for selection in cohorts of Soay rams (Ovis aries) on the archipelago of St....
