Correlates of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound parameters in patients with diabetes: the study on the assessment of determinants of muscle and bone strength abnormalities in diabetes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides an estimate of bone mineral density (BMD) and also evaluates bone quality, which has been related to increased fracture risk in people with diabetes.

Role of Extracellular DNA in Bacterial Response to SOS-Inducing Drugs
The SOS response is a conserved stress response pathway that is triggered by DNA damage in the bacterial cell. Activation of this pathway can, in turn, cause the rapid appearance of new mutations, sometimes called hypermutation.

Response to ‘Not-so-simple setae’ [PDF]
In his Correspondence article ([p. 871][1]), DeForest Mellon, Jr argues that the type of seta in our report ([Monteclaro et al., 2010][2]) was erroneously identified. In response, we would like to make the following remarks.

Latitudinal gradient of spruce forest understory and tundra phenology in Alaska as observed from satellite and ground-based data [PDF]
The latitudinal gradient of the start of the growing season (SOS) and the end of the growing season (EOS) were quantified in Alaska (61°N to 71°N) using satellite-based and ground-based datasets.

Binding of the Bacillus subtilis LexA protein to the SOS operator [PDF]
The Bacillus subtilis LexA protein represses the SOS response to DNA damage by binding as a dimer to the consensus operator sequence 5′-CGAACN(4)GTTCG-3′.

Role of RecA and the SOS response in thymineless death in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Thymineless death (TLD) is a classic and enigmatic phenomenon, documented in bacterial, yeast, and human cells, whereby cells lose viability rapidly when deprived of thymine.

Mutations that Separate the Functions of the Proofreading Subunit of the Escherichia coli Replicase
The dnaQ gene of Escherichia coli encodes the Ɛ subunit of DNA polymerase III, which provides the 3\u27 - 5\u27 exonuclease proofreading activity of the replicative polymerase.

Contribution of transcription-coupled DNA repair to MMS-induced mutagenesis in E. coli strains deficient in functional AlkB protein. [PDF]
In Escherichia coli the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) induces defense systems (adaptive and SOS responses), DNA repair pathways, and mutagenesis.
