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

Transport Coefficients from Large Deviation Functions [PDF]
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 ...

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