P1 bacteriophage carries at least two replicons: a plasmid replicon and a viral lytic replicon. Since the isolated plasmid replicon can maintain itself stably at the low copy number characteristic of intact P1 prophage, it has been assumed that this replicon is responsible for driving prophage replication. We provide evidence that when replication from the plasmid replicon is prevented, prophag...

The genome of bacteriophage P1 harbors a gene coding for a 162-amino-acid protein which shows 66% amino acid sequence identity to the Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB). The expression of the P1 gene is tightly regulated by P1 immunity proteins. It is completely repressed during lysogenic growth and only weakly expressed during lytic growth, as assayed by an ssb-P1/lacZ ...

Plasmids containing the foot-and-mouth disease virus structural protein precursor (P1) and 3C protease genes or the P1 gene alone were expressed in Escherichia coli. A recombinant baculovirus containing the P1 gene was also generated and expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells. Expression of the P1 and 3C genes in E. coli resulted in efficient synthesis and processing of the structural protein...

For polytopes P1, P2 ⊂ R we consider the intersection P1 ∩ P2, the convex hull of the union CH(P1 ∪ P2), and the Minkowski sum P1 + P2. For Minkowski sum we prove that enumerating the facets of P1+P2 is NPhard if P1 and P2 are specified by facets, or if P1 is specified by vertices and P2 is a polyhedral cone specified by facets. For intersection we prove that computing the facets or the vertice...

The Cmr1 gene in peppers confers resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus isolate-P0 (CMV-P0). Cmr1 restricts the systemic spread of CMV strain-Fny (CMV-Fny), whereas this gene cannot block the spread of CMV isolate-P1 (CMV-P1) to the upper leaves, resulting in systemic infection. To identify the virulence determinant of CMV-P1, six reassortant viruses and six chimeric viruses derived from CMV-Fny a...

Twelve human C1 inhibitor P1 variants were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis of the codon for arginine 444 and were expressed in COS-1 cells to analyze the functional properties. The ability to bind to target proteases, as well as potential substrate-like behavior, was investigated with radioimmunoassays. The P1-Lys variant retained binding capacity toward C1s, plasmin, and kallikrein. I...

The labeled factorizations of a positive integer n are obtained as a completion of the set of ordered factorizations of n. This follows a new technique for generating ordered factorizations found by extending a method for unordered factorizations that relies on partitioning the multiset of prime factors of n. Our results include explicit enumeration formulas and some combinatorial identities. I...

were transected at the medulla oblongata, dural folds and cranial nerves sectioned, and the brain extracted as a whole. Meninges were peeled off at the base of brain and temporal lobe displaced outwardly to expose the circle of Willis. PComA was identified and the type of configuration recorded and photographed. The arteries were classified into four configurations namely adult, transitional, f...

Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) is the type species of the newly established Poacevirus genus in the family Potyviridae. In this study, we demonstrate that in contrast to the helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) of Potyvirus species, the P1 proteins of TriMV and Sugarcane streak mosaic poacevirus function in suppression of RNA silencing (SRS). TriMV P1 effectively suppressed silencing induced by ...

where f ∈ L2(R) and g ∈ L∞(R), respectively f ∈ Lp1(R) and g ∈ Lp2(R), 1 < p1, p2 <∞. Their main result is the affirmative answer on the Calderon conjecture, first for p1 = 2, p2 = ∞ ([5]), then for p1, p2 ∈ (1,∞). Let 2/3 < p = p1p2 p1+p2 or p1 = 2, p2 = ∞ and p = 2. Then their main result is ||Hα(f, a)||Lp ≤ C||f ||Lp1 ||a||Lp2 , f ∈ L p1, a ∈ Lp2, where C > 0 depends on α, p1, p2. We refer t...
