Designer Gene Networks: Towards Fundamental Cellular Control
The engineered control of cellular function through the design of synthetic genetic networks is becoming plausible. Here we show how a naturally occurring network can be used as a parts list for artificial network design, and how model formulation leads ...

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

O presente trabalho demonstra que o efeito “repressor” da glicose sôbre TT no fígado não se apresenta se o animal fôr previamente tratado com 5-PU. Porém, o 5-FU não evita o efeito da glicose, se fôr administrado depois dêste glicidio.

dUTPase based switch controls transfer of virulence genes in order to preserve integrity of the transferred mobile genetic elements [PDF]
dUTPases ubiquitously regulate cellular dUTP levels to preserve genome integrity. Recently, several other cellular processes were reported to be controlled by dUTPases including the horizontal transfer of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands ...

Specificity determinants for the interaction of lambda repressor and P22 repressor dimers. [PDF]
The related phage lambda and phage P22 repressors each bind cooperatively to adjacent and separated operator sites, an interaction that involves a pair of repressor dimers. The specificities of these interactions differ: Each dimer interacts with its own type but not with dimers of the heterologous repressor.

Protein kinase FAM20C—when subcellular localization matters
FAM20C is a Golgi‐resident kinase that phosphorylates proteins along the entire secretory pathway. The presence of potential FAM20C substrates in the cytoplasm or nucleus raises the question of how the kinase and its substrates encounter each other. Protein kinases achieve signaling specificity through consensus sequence recognition and subcellular ...

The N-terminal domain of the repressor of Staphylococcus aureus phage Φ11 possesses an unusual dimerization ability and DNA binding affinity. [PDF]
Bacteriophage Φ11 uses Staphylococcus aureus as its host and, like lambdoid phages, harbors three homologous operators in between its two divergently oriented repressor genes. None of the repressors of Φ11, however, showed binding to all three operators,

Construction and utilisation of a bidirectional reporter vector in the analysis of two nod-boxes in of Rhizobium loti : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Molecular Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
The nod-box is a 47bp cis-acting regulatory region which has been conserved amongst every species of Rhizobium studied to date. In species such as R. meliloti and R.

Compositionality, stochasticity and cooperativity in dynamic models of gene regulation
We present an approach for constructing dynamic models for the simulation of gene regulatory networks from simple computational elements. Each element is called a ``gene gate'' and defines an input/output-relationship corresponding to the binding and ...

Nucleotide sequence and mutational analysis of an immunity repressor gene from Bacillus subtilis temperate phage ϕ105 [PDF]
We have identified and sequenced a bacteriophage phi 105 gene encoding an immunity repressor, the first to be characterized from a temperate phage infecting a Gram-positive host.
