Developmental changes in voltage-gated calcium channel α(2)δ-subunit expression in the canine dorsal root ganglion [PDF]
The voltage-gated calcium channel subunit (128 plays a fundamental role in propagation of excitatory signals associated with release of glutamate and neuropeptides substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP).

A novel splicing variant encoding putative catalytic alpha subunit of maize protein kinase CK2 [PDF]
A cDNA highly homologous to the known catalytic alpha subunit of protein kinase CK2 was cloned from maize (Zea mays). It was designated ZmCK2 alpha-4 (accession no. AAF76187). Sequence analysis shows that ZmCK2 alpha-4 and the previously identified ZmCK2

Cloning and Characterization of Protein Prenyltransferase Alpha Subunit in Rice
Protein prenylation plays a crucial role in plant development and stress response. We report the function of prenyltransferase α-subunit in rice. Protein-protein interactions showed that the farnesyl- transferase (OsPFT)/geranylgeranyltransferase-I ...

Crystal structure of the P pilus rod subunit PapA [PDF]
P pili are important adhesive fibres involved in kidney infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains. P pili are assembled by the conserved chaperone-usher pathway, which involves the PapD chaperone and the PapC usher.

Cloning of a novel inhibin alpha cDNA from rhesus monkey testis
Background Inhibins are dimeric gonadal protein hormones that negatively regulate pituitary FSH synthesis and secretion. Inhibin B is produced by testicular Sertoli cells and is the primary circulating form of inhibin in most adult male mammals.

Structure-function relations in oxaloacetate decarboxylase complex. Fluorescence and infrared approaches to monitor oxomalonate and Na(+) binding effect. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Oxaloacetate decarboxylase (OAD) is a member of the Na(+) transport decarboxylase enzyme family found exclusively in anaerobic bacteria. OAD of Vibrio cholerae catalyses a key step in citrate fermentation, converting the chemical energy of the

The retinitis pigmentosa mutation c.3444+1G>A in CNGB1 results in skipping of exon 32 [PDF]
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a severe hereditary eye disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptors and subsequent loss of vision. Two of the RP associated mutations were found in the CNGB1 gene that encodes the B subunit of the rod
