Effect of expression of manganese superoxide dismutase in baculovirus-infected insect cells
It has previously been demonstrated that baculovirus infection of the Spodoptera frugiperda Sf-9 (Sf-9) and Trichoplusia ni BTI-Tn-5B1-4 (Tn-5B1-4) insect cell lines leads to oxidative stress as measured by prote...

Roa307, a protein encoded onCoxiella burnetii plasmid QpH1, shows homology to proteins encoded in the replication origin region of bacterial chromosomes
TnphoA mutagenesis identified an open reading frame,roa307, immediately upstream of the partition locusqsopAB on theCoxiella burnetii plasmid QpH1. The protein sequence deduced fromroa307 displayed homology to O...
