In BHK cells infected with pseudorabies virus, there was a substantial increase in the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6. This increase occurred between 2 and 4 h after infection and persisted at least until 9 h. We estimated that in mock-infected cells S6 contained, on an average, one phosphate group per protein chain, whereas in infected cells this rose to between four and five phosphat...

А number of ribosomal proteins inEscherichia coliundergo posttranslational modifications. Six ribosomal proteins are methylated (S11, L3, L11, L7/L12, L16, and L33), three proteins are acetylated (S5, S18, and L7), and protein S12 is methylthiolated. Extra amino acid residues are added to protein S6. С-terminal amino acid residues are partially removed from protein L31. The functional significa...

The complete genome sequence of the type strain Corynebacterium testudinoris DSM 44614 from the mouth of a tortoise comprises 2,721,226 bp with a mean G+C content of 63.14%. The automatic annotation of the genome sequence revealed 4 rRNA operons, 51 tRNA genes, 7 other RNA genes, and 2,561 protein-coding regions.

Acetylcholine has important epigenetic roles in the developing retina. In this study, cells that expressed choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme that synthesizes acetylcholine, were investigated in embryonic, postnatal, and adult turtle retinas by using immunofluorescence histochemistry. ChAT was present at stage 15 (S15) in cells near the vitreal surface. With the formation of the inner...

Starting with a brief review of millimeter wave research and development, basic concept, theory and applications of NRD-guide technology are described. A particular emphasis is placed on short distance propagation of millimeter waves such as indoor HD-TV wireless transmission and Giga-bit video downloader. It is also emphasized that NRD-guide can offer advantages of easy fabrication, low cost a...
