Open AccessExcitotoxic stimulus stabilizes PFKFB3 causing pentose-phosphate pathway to glycolysis switch and neurodegeneration
6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-3 (PFKFB3) is a master regulator of glycolysis by its ability to synthesize fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a potent allosteric activator of 6-phosphofructo-1-ki...

Chemical modifiers for direct determination of cobalt in coal combustion residues by ultrasonic slurry-sampling–ETAAS
Five modifiers were tested for the direct determination of cobalt in coal fly ash and slag by ultrasonic slurry-sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (USS–ETAAS).The furnace temperature progra...

On the validity of the two-cells model in the analysis of passive electrical properties of gap-junction connected cells
It is a rather extended practice to derive electrophysiological data (membrane and contact conductances) from experimental data for gap-junction tissues assuming that electrical connections are reduced to cel...

Characterization of two glycosyltransferases involved in early glycosylation steps during biosynthesis of the antitumor polyketide mithramycin by Streptomyces argillaceus
A 2580-bp region of the chromosome of Streptomyces argillaceus, the producer of the antitumor polyketide mithramycin, was sequenced. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence revealed the presence of two genes (mtmGII...

Three Nrt2 genes are differentially regulated in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Two new nitrate assimilation-related genes, Nrt2;3 and Nar5, have been identified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The Nrt2;3 gene is a new member of the Nrt2 family, encoding high-affinity nitrate (nitrite) transp...

Lichen’s Adaptation to Altitude
Lichens from alpine regions and from areas of high altitudes are subject to the effects of high UV radiation levels, which have increased in the last decades due to the decrease of ozone, and they have develop...

An ABC transporter is essential for resistance to the antitumor agent mithramycin in the producerStreptomyces argillaceus
Mithramycin is an antitumor antibiotic synthesized byStreptomyces argillaceus. This producer strain is highly resistant in vivo to mithramycin (MIC 100 µg/ml) but sensitive to the related drugs chromomycin and ol...

Isolation and characterization of two new negative regulatory mutants for nitrate assimilation inChlamydomonas reinhardtii obtained by insertional mutagenesis
Plasmid DNA carrying either the nitrate reductase (NR) gene or the argininosuccinate lyase gene as selectable markers and the correspondingChlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants as recipient strains have been used to ...

Intravenous Potassium Infusion Reverses Skeletal Muscle Fatigue
Intracellular potassium loss has been implicated as the basis of skeletal muscle fatigue (1). A decrease in the cell membrane K+ gradient diminishes the action potential. In turn, Ca++ release decreases and a sma...

Tris discriminates between the different α-glucosidase activities from extracts of human neutrophils
In an attempt to detect acid maltase deficiency in neutrophils from patients with type II glycogenosis, without interference from the ‘renal’ α-glucosidase activity present in these cells, we have evaluated th...

Molecular Biology of Nitrate Assimilation in Chlamydomonas ReinhardtII
As in other photosynthetic eukaryotes, nitrate assimilation in the green alga Chlamydomonas is a highly regulated process which requires transport of the anion into the cell and its reduction to ammonium catalyze...
