Minor Isozymes Tailor Yeast Metabolism to Carbon Availability

Antiplatelet therapy: to tailor or not to tailor?

We have all been witnessing the steep upward trend in mobile device usage and their increasing sophistication which will no doubt continue. We used to use our mobile phones to make calls and possibly to send a text message, but now we check our emails, reserve cinema tickets, and, of course, read the latest journal articles via our smartphones and tablets. At Oxford University Press, we launche...

Carbon metabolism of Beauveria bassiana may be related to virulence against Plutella xylostella and Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Tailor to Fit It

This paper is a result of research activities within wearable communications carried out at the Ericsson Norway Applied research center in collaboration with the University of Oslo. The research activities are based on the conviction that the user and usability should be in focus. The research is grounded on a field study conducted to investigate a highly mobile activity, namely bike messenger ...

Interaction of sulfate assimilation with carbon and nitrogen metabolism in Lemna minor.

Cysteine synthesis from sulfide and O-acetyl-L-serine (OAS) is a reaction interconnecting sulfate, nitrogen, and carbon assimilation. Using Lemna minor, we analyzed the effects of omission of CO(2) from the atmosphere and simultaneous application of alternative carbon sources on adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR) and nitrate reductase (NR), the key enzymes of sulfate and nitrate assimi...

Volatile anesthetics affect nutrient availability in yeast.

Volatile anesthetics affect all cells and tissues tested, but their mechanisms and sites of action remain unknown. To gain insight into the cellular activities of anesthetics, we have isolated genes that, when overexpressed, render Saccharomyces cerevisiae resistant to the volatile anesthetic isoflurane. One of these genes, WAK3/TAT1, encodes a permease that transports amino acids including leu...
