Stress protein synthesis by crayfish CNS tissue in vitro
Some crustacean axons remain functional for months after injury. This unusual property may require stress proteins synthesized by those neurons or provided to them by glial cells. To begin to explore this hypo...

Stress protein synthesis and accumulation after traumatic injury of crayfish CNS
By several days after a crush injury of crayfish CNS, the wound site heals. Changes in protein synthesis and accumulation occur at the lesion site and nearby. During the first few hours, synthesis of 35, 70, 9...

New carotenoids from the thermophilic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum: 1′,2′-dihydro-γ-carotene, 1′,2′-dihydrochlorobactene, and OH-chlorobactene glucoside ester, and the carotenoid composition of different strains
The complete carotenoid composition of the thermophilic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum strain TNO was determined by spectroscopic methods. Major carotenoids were four kinds of carotenes: γ-carotene, c...

A new method for protein domain recognition
A fuzzy cluster method is presented to recognize protein domains. This algorithm can identify domains globally. A protein structure set was used to test the algorithm. Among 219 proteins, 66.7% yielded result...

Changes of ATP and ADP in Cultured Astrocytes Under and After in Vitro Ischemia
A very large body of evidence from in vivo studies has been accumulated on a link between the change of energy and cell survival/apoptosis. Using an in vitro ischemia model, we have previously shown that ische...

PGC-1α induces apoptosis in human epithelial ovarian cancer cells through a PPARγ-dependent pathway
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) coactivates multiple transcription factors and regulates several metabolic processes. The current study investigated the ro...

Vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein gene enhances the antitumor effects of radiation via induction of apoptosis
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) matrix (M) protein can directly induce apoptosis by inhibiting host gene expression when it is expressed in the absence of other viral components. Previously, we found that the...
