MovieMaker is a web server that allows short (~10 s), downloadable movies of protein motions to be generated. It accepts PDB files or PDB accession numbers as input and automatically calculates, renders and merges the necessary image files to create colourful animations covering a wide range of...

Mammalian herbivores can carry out multiple tasks without interrupting food processing, but this possibility is not considered in existing foraging models. We develop a mechanistic functional response to account for herbivores' ability to search for their next food bite and walk away from...

Voltage-gated potassium channels are critical elements in providing functional diversity in nervous systems. The diversity of voltage-gated K+ channels in modern triploblastic metazoans (such as mollusks, arthropods and vettebrates) is provided primarily by four gene subfamilies (Shaker, Shal,...

We report myiasis by Lucilia silvarum with an overall prevalence of 0.9% in amphibian populations in boreal Alberta. In the period 1998–1999, we documented L. silvarum infestations in wild populations of wood frog (Rana sylvatica), boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata), boreal toad (Bufo...

Myosin Assembly, Maintenance and Degradation in Muscle: Role of the Chaperone UNC-45 in Myosin Thick Filament Dynamics
Download2008
Myofibrillogenesis in striated muscle cells requires a precise ordered pathway to assemble different proteins into a linear array of sarcomeres. The sarcomere relies on interdigitated thick and thin filaments to ensure muscle contraction, as well as properly folded and catalytically active myosin...

Myosin VI contributes to synaptic transmission and development at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction
Download2011
Kisiel, M., Stewart, B.A., Campbell, S., Majumdar, D.
Background: Myosin VI, encoded by jaguar (jar) in Drosophila melanogaster, is a unique member of the myosin superfamily of actin-based motor proteins. Myosin VI is the only myosin known to move towards the minus or pointed ends of actin filaments. Although Myosin VI has been implicated in...

Na+/H+ exchange activity during phagocytosis in human neutrophils: Role of Fc7 receptors and tyrosine kinases
Download1996
Downey, G. P., Orlowski, J., Goss, G.G., Grinstein, S., Waddell, T. K., Fukushima, T.
Abstract. In neutrophils, binding and phagocytosis facilitate subsequent intracellular killing of microorganisms. Activity of Na+/H ÷ exchangers (NHEs) participates in these events, especially in regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) by compensating for the H ÷ load generated by the respiratory...

Natural disturbances and fish: Local and regional influences on winterkill of fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, in boreal lakes
Download2003
We investigated the population dynamics of fathead minnow Pimephales promelas and the environmental factors of four small lakes in the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada, for 5 years to determine the influence of local and regional factors on the development of hypoxia and the occurrence of fish...
