The Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2-μm plasmid is a multicopy selfish genome that resides in the nucleus. The genetic organization of the plasmid is optimized for stable, high-copy propagation in host-cell populations. The plasmid's partitioning system poaches host factors, including the centromere-specific histone H3-variant Cse4 and the cohesin complex, enabling replicated plasmid copies to segreg...

The stb locus of IncFII plasmid NR1, which mediates stable inheritance of the plasmid, is composed of an essential cis-acting DNA site located upstream from two tandem genes that encode essential stability proteins. The two tandem genes, stbA and stbB, are transcribed as an operon from promoter PAB. Using PAB-lacZ gene fusions, it was found that the stb operon is autoregulated. A low-copy-numbe...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of oxidative stress (OS) reduction by using pyridoindole (PI) antioxidants in adjuvant arthritis (AA). The substances tested were stobadine dipalmitate (STB) and SMe1. AA was used as animal model. The experiments included healthy animals, control arthritic animals and arthritic animals with administration of PI in the oral daily do...

The safety of stereotactic biopsy (STB) was studied in this article. CT-guided STB (Brown-Roberts-Wells; BRW) was performed 58 times for 56 patients (male: 29, female: 27) at Hyogo Cancer Center between 1988 and 2007. The age distribution ranged from 15 to 83 (mean: 55) years old. Histological diagnoses were established for 58 samples, with 35 cases of glioma, eight of metastatic brain tumor, n...

● Agricultural innovation is a coevolution process of hardware, software and orgware. Innovation intermediaries important for the agricultural innovation. The roles STBs have evolved from knowledge broker to broader intermediary at village level. Facilitating orgware more effective than enabling in promoting farmers...

December 2009 JOURNAL OF ADVERTISING RESEARCH 419 measure their success through user-response metrics such as click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate (Richardson, Dominowski, and Ragno, 2007), and bounce rate (Sculley, Malkin, Basu, and Bayardo, 2009), Google has been exploring how to use STB measurement to design equivalent measures for TV. Past attempts to provide quality scores for TV ads ...

septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by the ascomycete fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. in this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to stb (pr-1, bsi, msr, per, and ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘fronta...
