Inactivation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 envelope-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes by free antigenic peptide: A self-veto mechanism? [PDF]
, 1996 Free peptide has been found to inhibit cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity, and veto cells bearing peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) complexes have been found to inactivate CTL, but the two phenomenon have not been connected.

Several Hfq-dependent alterations in physiology of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 are mediated by derepression of the transcriptional regulator RovM [PDF]
, 2017 In bacteria, the RNA chaperone Hfq enables pairing of small regulatory RNAs with their target mRNAs and therefore is a key player of post-transcriptional regulation network. As a global regulator, Hfq is engaged in the adaptation to external environment,

Methane metabolism in the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota revealed by genome-centric metagenomics [PDF]
, 2015 Methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea play important roles in the global flux of methane. Culture-independent approaches are providing deeper insight into the diversity and evolution of methane-metabolizing microorganisms, but, until now, no compelling

Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1986 The enkephalin-hydrolyzing peptidases in mouse vas deferens were studied and compared with those in guinea pig ileum which had been characterized in the previous study. The present results showed that three distinct peptidases, bestatin-sensitive aminopeptidase, captopril-sensitive peptidyl dipeptidase A, and thiorphan-sensitive endopeptidase-24.11 ...
