Open AccessTwo non-homologous brain diseases-related genes, SERPINI1 and PDCD10, are tightly linked by an asymmetric bidirectional promoter in an evolutionarily conserved manner
Despite of the fact that mammalian genomes are far more spacious than prokaryotic genomes, recent nucleotide sequencing data have revealed that many mammalian genes are arranged in a head-to-head orientation a...

Stable RNA Interference in Spodoptera frugiperda Cells by a DNA Vector-based Method
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-mediated interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for silencing of gene expression in many organisms. To establish a DNA vector-based method for stable RNAi in Spodoptera frugiperda cell...

Expression and Purification of N and E Proteins from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Associated Coronavirus: a Comparative Study
Histidine-tagged N (rNH) and E (rEH) proteins of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-coronovirus were expressed in the baculovirus/insect cell system and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatogra...

Autophosphorylation-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates Ser25, Ser38, Ser65, Ser71, and Ser411 in vimentin and thereby inhibits cytoskeletal intermediate filament assembly
The autophosphorylation-dependent protein kinase has been identified as a potent vimentin kinase that incorporates 2 mol of phosphates per mol of protein and generates five major phosphorylation sites in vimen...

A maize cryptic Ac-homologous sequence derived from an Activator transposable element does not transpose
Sequences sharing homology to the transposable element Activator (Ac) are prevalent in the maize genome. A cryptic Ac-like DNA, cAc-11, was isolated from the maize inbred line 4Co63 and sequenced. Cryptic Ac-11 h...

Physical maps of Nicotiana chloroplast DNA constructed by an efficient procedure
The restriction profiles of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from Nicotiana tabacum, N. sylvestris, N. plumbaginifolia, and N. otophora were obtained with respect to AvaI, BamHI, BglI, HindIII, PstI, PvuII, SalI, and XhoI...
