CPl is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) which recognizes the highly fonserved A glement I (CDEI) of yeast centromeres. We cloned and sequenced the gene encoding CPl. The gene codes for a protein of molecular weight 39,400. When expressed in E. , i coli, the CPl gene directed the synthesis of a CDEI-binding protein having the same SDS gel mobilty as pur...

Figure 1: Comparison of CMA and CPL blind equalizer performance (nonlinear channel) Figure 2: Comparison of CMA and CPL blind equalizer performance (linear channel) Abstract Canonical piecewise linear structures provide a desirable compromise between the approximation ability of nonlinear models and the eeciency and theoretical accessibility of the linear domain, and they reduce the parameter s...

Babesia rossi is the cause of a highly virulent multisystemic disease with a variable outcome, which is a reliable model of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of canine pancreatic-specific lipase (cPL) in a population of dogs with naturally acquired B. rossi infection. In addition, the associations between serum cPL and...

Composted poultry litter (CPL) can be used for horticultural crops as a source of organic matter and stabilized N. Recent studies indicated that P was not stabilized by composting and that excess P could be released into the environment when CPL was applied to land on N-based plant requirements. This experiment determined the effect of CPL and fresh poultry litter (FPL) from two sources on leaf...

Although the importance of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials has been widely recognized, the CPL responses of supramolecular gels are still rarely studied. Moreover, developing CPL materials based on supramolecular gels is of great significance, due to their special advantages and important applications. Herein, we report the first circularly polarized supramolecular gels self-a...

The nutritional, anti-nutritional and mucilage contents of flour of leaves of two vegetables Bombax costatum leaf (BCL) and Cissus populnea leaf (CPL) were investigated. Their protein (≈19.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈13.0 g/100g in CPL) and ash (≈6.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈11.0 g/100g in CPL) contents were significantly different at P < 0.05. Both leaves were rich in Ca (BCL, 102 ± 2.5 mg/100g; CPL, 113 ±...

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra are extremely sensitive to molecular structure. However, conventional CPL measurements are difficult and require expensive instrumentation. As an alternative, we explore CPL using Raman scattering and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy. The cesium tetrakis(3-heptafluoro-butylryl-(+)-camphorato) europium(III) complex was chosen as a model as...

In developmental biology, modeling and simulation play an important role in understanding cellular interactions. We suggest a simple language, the Cell Programming Language (CPL), to write computer programs to describe this behavior. Using these programs, it is possible to simulate and visualize intercellular behavior. We employ CPL to model aggre-gation in Dictyostelium in response to a chemot...

Caprine placental lactogen (cPL) cDNA was cloned by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR from total RNA of goat placenta. The PCR product encoding for the mature protein was gel purified, ligated to pGEM-T and finally subcloned into a pET8c prokaryotic expression vector. E. coli cells (BL-21) transformed with this vector overexpressed large amounts of cPL upon induction with Isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-g...

Cysteine proteases are involved in the degradation of intracellular and extracellular proteins, although their precise roles in vivo are not well understood. Here we characterise a genetic mutant of the Caenorhabditis elegans cathepsin L protease gene cpl-1. CPL-1 is provided maternally and is essential for C. elegans embryogenesis. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy data show that yolk...
