Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Expansion and Function of Repeat Domain Proteins During Stress and Development in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The recurrent repeats having conserved stretches of amino acids exists across all domains of life. Subsequent repetition of single sequence motif and the number and length of the minimal repeating motifs are essential characteristics innate to these ...

Priodontes maximus (Cingulata: Chlamyphoridae) using a highway wildlife underpass in a fragmented Cerrado landscape from Eastern Goiás State, central Brazil

Xenarthra, 2023
We monitored a stretch of the BR-050 highway in the State of Goiás that crosses several natural environments used by the giant armadillo, a peculiar and endangered species whose survival is threatened by vehicle collisions. Here, we present the record of

Illness perceptions of leprosy-cured individuals in Surinam with residual disfigurements – “I am cured, but still I am ill” [PDF]

, 2016
Objective Leprosy has rarely been the subject of health psychology research despite its substantial impact. Our aim was to explore illness perceptions in patients and their health care providers in Surinam.

Engineering and Characterization of a Fluorescent Fission Yeast Arp2/3 Complex for Single Molecule Mechanistic Investigations

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arp2/3 complex is a seven‐component protein complex that facilitates the assembly of branched actin filament networks by binding to pre‐existing “mother” actin filaments and initiating the nucleation of new branched “daughter” filaments. Arp2/3 complex must be activated by a nucleation promoting factor such as the WASP/Scar protein family. The

Using Protege for automatic ontology instantiation [PDF]

, 2004
This paper gives an overview on the use of Protégé in the Artequakt system, which integrated Protégé with a set of natural language tools to automatically extract knowledge about artists from web documents and instantiate a given ontology.

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

Current Distribution of the Nine-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in the United States

Diversity
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus: hereafter armadillo) was first recorded in the United States (U.S.) in the state of Texas in 1849 and has been expanding its range northward and eastward since then.

Anatomical description of the aortic arch of a rare species “the giant armadillo” (Priodontes maximus; Kerr, 1792)

Folia Morphologica, 2020
The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is found in diverse habitats from South America. A female adult giant armadillo with a body mass of 45 kg was used.
