Molecular cloning and structure of a pre-B-cell growth-stimulating factor.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1994
Generation and proliferation of early B-cell progenitors have been known to require stromal cell-derived molecules. A stromal cell line, PA6, was found to produce a soluble mediator, which was distinct from interleukin 7 (IL-7) and stem cell factor and ...

Substrate induction and glucose repression of maltose utilization by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is controlled by malR, a member of the lacI-galR family of regulatory genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
malR of Strepomyces coelicolor A3(2) encodes a homologue of the Lacl/Galr family of repressor proteins, and is divergently transcribed from the malEFG gene cluster, which encodes components of an ATP-dependent transport system that is required for ...

A Hylarana latouchii Skin Secretion-Derived Novel Bombesin-Related Pentadecapeptide (Ranatensin-HLa) Evoke Myotropic Effects on the in vitro Rat Smooth Muscles

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Amphibians have developed successful defensive strategies for combating predators and invasive microorganisms encountered in their broad range of environments, which involve secretion of complex cocktails of noxious, toxic and diverse bioactive molecules

Transport Coefficients from Large Deviation Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We describe a method for computing transport coefficients from the direct evaluation of large deviation function. This method is general, relying on only equilibrium fluctuations, and is statistically efficient, employing trajectory based importance ...

A Novel Bradykinin-Related Dodecapeptide (RVALPPGFTPLR) from the Skin Secretion of the Fujian Large-Headed Frog (Limnonectes fujianensis) Exhibiting Unusual Structural and Functional Features

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Bradykinin-related peptides (BRPs) are significant components of the defensive skin secretions of many anuran amphibians, and these secretions represent the source of the most diverse spectrum of such peptides so far encountered in nature.

Cloning of the Neurodegeneration Gene \u3cem\u3eDrop-Dead\u3c/em\u3e and Characterization of Additional Phenotypes of its Mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mutations in the Drosophila gene drop-dead (drd) result in early adult lethality and neurodegeneration, but the molecular identity of the drd gene and its mechanism of action are not known.

‘Two in One’ Cloning Vector Applied for Blunt-End and T-A Cloning with One-Step Digestion–Ligation and Screening of Positive Recombinants by Unaided Eyes

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
To clone DNA sequences quickly and precisely into plasmids is essential for molecular biology studies. Some cloning vectors have been developed for the cloning of PCR products, including blunt-end and T-A cloning. However, different plasmids are required
