Alterations at Arg⁷⁶ of human connexin 46, a residue associated with cataract formation, cause loss of gap junction formation but preserve hemichannel function [PDF]

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2018
The connexins are members of a family of integral membrane proteins that form gap junction channels between apposed cells and/or hemichannels across the plasma membranes. The importance of the arginine at position 76 (Arg76) in the structure and/or function of connexin 46 (Cx46) is highlighted by its conservation across the entire connexin family and ...

Within-subject effects of standardized prosthetic socket modifications on physical function and patient-reported outcomes

Trials, 2022
Background Among the challenges of living with lower limb loss is the increased risk of long-term health problems that can be either attributed directly to the amputation surgery and/or prosthetic rehabilitation or indirectly to a disability-induced ...

Gap functions and error bounds for vector inverse mixed quasi-variational inequality problems

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2019
This paper is devoted to investigating a vector inverse mixed quasi-variational inequality (VIMQVI). Our aim is to obtain error bounds for VIMQVI in terms of different gap functions, i.e., the residual gap function, the regularized gap function, and the ...

Does metallurgy affect the residual notch stress intensity factor value induced by welding operations? A comprehensive study via a 3D numerical model [PDF]

, 2021
The residual notch stress intensity factor (R-NSIF) was found useful to quantify the influence of residual stresses on fatigue life of welded joints. Its distribution along the weld bead was recently assessed by using a 3D model. Those works focused only

Band bending at heterovalent interfaces Hard X ray photoelectron spectroscopy of GaP Si 001 heterostructures [PDF]

, 2021
GaP is a preferred candidate for the transition between Si and heterogeneous III V epilayers as it is nearly lattice matched to Si. Here, we scrutinize the atomic structure and electronic properties of GaP Si 0 0 1 heterointerfaces utilizing hard X ray ...

Identification of amino acid residues of mammalian mitochondrial phosphate carrier important for its functional expression in yeast cells, as achieved by PCR-mediated random mutation and gap-repair cloning

Mitochondrion, 2017
The mitochondrial phosphate carrier (PiC) of mammals, but not the yeast one, is synthesized with a presequence. The deletion of this presequence of the mammalian PiC was reported to facilitate the import of the carrier into yeast mitochondria, but the question as to whether or not mammalian PiC could be functionally expressed in yeast mitochondria was ...
