interpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
15 صفحه اولEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of RNA polymerase I transcription as a potential approach to treat African trypanosomiasis
Trypanosoma brucei relies on an essential Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coat for survival in the mammalian bloodstream. High VSG expression within an expression site body (ESB) is mediated by RNA polymerase I (Pol I), which in other eukaryotes exclusively transcribes ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA). As T. brucei is reliant on Pol I for VSG transcription, we investigated Pol I transcription inhi...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of nucleoplasmic rat liver DNA-dependent RNA polymerase by aflatoxin B 1 .
Aflatoxin B! , a potent hepatocarcinogen, causes rapid but reversible in vivo inhibition of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in isolated nuclei. This study was designed to determine whether the consequent decrease of RNA formation occurs as a result of direct alteration of RNA polymerase. Aflatoxin B! , l mg/kg body weight, was administered i.p. to male rats; nuclei were isolated from liver homogen...
متن کاملCore promoter-selective RNA polymerase II transcription.
The initiation of mRNA synthesis in eukaryotic cells is a complex and highly regulated process that requires the assembly of general transcription factors and RNAP II (RNA polymerase II; also abbreviated as Pol II) into a pre-initiation complex at the core promoter. The core promoter is defined as the minimal DNA region that is sufficient to direct low levels of activator-independent (basal) tr...
