Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

Abrogation of the alternative complement pathway by targeted deletion of murine factor B [PDF]
To investigate the role of complement protein factor B (Bf) and alternative pathway activity in vivo , and to test the hypothesized potential genetic lethal effect of Bf deficiency, the murine Bf gene was interrupted by exchange of exon 3 through exon 7 (including the factor D cleaving site ...

Complementizer Drop And IP Complementation in Japanese
The main purpose of the present paper is to provide a principled account for a phenomenon called "Complementizer Drop" in the dialects of Japanese and its related phenomena in teens of the head-raising approach without recourse to the ECP or GB-type ...

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

Complementation of Vaccinia Virus Deleted of the E3L Gene by Mutants of E3L
Vaccinia virus devoid of its E3L gene is sensitive to treatment of RK-13 cells with interferon-alpha and fails to replicate or form plaques in HeLa cells. In order to determine function of the E3L gene, vaccinia virus recombinants were constructed by inserting mutant E3L genes or a gene coding for an alternative dsRNA-binding protein into virus deleted

Genetic elements for selection, deletion mutagenesis and complementation inFrancisellaspp. [PDF]
Francisella novicida is a gram-negative pathogen that can induce disease in mice that mimics human tularemia, and is nearly identical to Francisella tularensis at the genomic level. In this work a number of antibiotic marker cassettes that incorporate a strong F. novicida promoter is constructed, which greatly enhances selection in F.

Mitochondrial translation and coordinated cytosolic translation in metabolic homeostasis and disease
Mitochondrial function depends on coordinated protein production from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. This review highlights how cytosolic and mitochondrial translation, mRNA localization, protein import, and respiratory complex assembly are integrated to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis and function.

KoMiRe PL Experiment 1 (Relative pronoun vs. relative complementizer)
Experiment 1 will investigate the influence of two relativizing strategies in Polish (relative pronoun vs. relative complementizer) on the processing of an agreement chain in constructions with relative clauses, specifically when the relativized head is ...

Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Mutant p53R273H disrupts PDPK1 homodimerization and contributes to PDPK1 activation
How mutant p53R273H drives AKT signaling is unclear. We show that p53R273H, but not wild‐type, directly binds PDPK1 via a mutation‐dependent conformational change. This interaction disrupts inhibitory PDPK1 homodimerization and enhances AKT phosphorylation.
