Generating functions of plane overpartitions are obtained using various methods: non–intersecting paths, RSK type algorithms and symmetric functions. We extend some of the results to cylindric partitions. Also, we show that plane overpartitions correspond to domino tilings and we give some basic properties of this correspondence.

Using an analogue of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) algorithm for semi-skyline augmented fillings, due to Sarah Mason, we exhibit expansions of non-symmetric Cauchy kernels ∏ (i,j)∈η(1 − xiyj) −1, where the product is over all cell-coordinates (i, j) of the stair-type partition shape η, consisting of the cells in a NW-SE diagonal of a rectangle diagram and below it, containing the biggest s...

The Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) latency associated nuclear antigen (LANA) is expressed in all KSHV associated malignancies and is essential for maintenance of KSHV genomes in infected cells. To identify kinases that are potentially capable of modifying LANA, in vitro phosphorylation assays were performed using an Epstein Barr virus plus LANA protein microarray and 268 human kin...

BACKGROUND Although C/EBPβ(ko) mice are refractory to Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show that blocking the ribosomal S-6 kinase (RSK) phosphorylation of the CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein (C/EBP)-β on Thr217 (a RSK phosphoacceptor) with either a single point mutation (Ala217), dominant negative transgene or a blocking peptide containing the mut...

A substrate for PKBalpha (protein kinase Balpha) was detected in liver extracts, and was purified and identified as CRHSP24 (calcium-regulated heat-stable protein of apparent molecular mass 24 kDa). PKBalpha, as well as SGK1 (serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1) and RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase), phosphorylated CRHSP24 stoichiometrically at Ser52 in vitro and its brain-specific i...

BACKGROUND During oocyte maturation in Xenopus, progesterone induces entry into meiosis I, and the M phases of meiosis I and II occur consecutively without an intervening S phase. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase is activated during meiotic entry, and it has been suggested that the linkage of M phases reflects activation of the MAP kinase pathway and the failure to fully degrade cycli...

RATIONALE Angiotensin (Ang) II exerts diverse physiological actions in both the peripheral and central neural systems. It was reported that the activity of Ang II is higher in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and that angiotensin type-1 receptors are colocalized with NAD(P)H oxidase in the neurons of the NTS, resulting in the induction of local react...

We utilize the ALMA-MaNGA QUEnch and STar formation (ALMaQUEST) survey to investigate kpc-scale scaling relations, presented as resolved star forming main sequence (rSFMS: $\Sigma_{\rm SFR}$ vs. $\Sigma_{*}$), Schmidt-Kennicutt relation (rSK: H_{2}}$), molecular gas (rMGMS: H_{2}}$ for 11478 star-forming 1414 retired spaxels (oversampled by a factor of $\sim20$) located in 22 green valley (GV) ...
