The direct flight muscles of Drosophila melanogaster are innervated by the anterior dorsal mesothoracic (ADM) nerve and the mesothoracic accessory (MAC) nerve. Each of the four conspicuously large axons in the ADM nerve serves one of the muscles designated/>aV,/><24 andpa5. Muscle pa4 is additionally innervated by a very small neurosecretory axon. Muscle pa6, also innervated by the ADM ne...

A new compound with a peroxisomicine (dimeric hydroxyanthracenone type) structure was isolated from Karwinskia parvifolia and denominated peroxisomicine A4 (PA4). The stereochemistry of the stereogenic centers of this compound and the previously isolated peroxisomicine A3 (PA3, 3) was elucidated using CD, 13 C NMR and 1 H NMR spectra. Four peroxisomicine stereoisomers were cytotoxic to Chang an...

Abstract Fruit leather is a product made from processed fruit shaped like thin sheet. This study aimed to determine the panelist’s preference for produced combination of pedada and api-api fruit. The used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments three repetitions. treatment formula PA1 (Pedada 90%: Api-api 10%), PA2 80%: 20%), PA3 70%: 30%), PA4 60%: 40%) PA5 50%: 50%). results s...

We previously demonstrated (Ookata et al., 1992, 1993) that the p34cdc2/cyclin B complex associates with microtubules in the mitotic spindle and premeiotic aster in starfish oocytes, and that microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) might be responsible for this interaction. In this study, we have investigated the mechanism by which p34cdc2 kinase associates with the microtubule cytoskeleton in p...

The aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene (aph) from the neomycin producer Streptomyces fradiae encodes an enzyme (APH) that phosphorylates, and thereby inactivates, the antibiotic neomycin. Two promoters were identified upstream of and oriented toward the aph coding sequence. One promoter (aphp1) initiated transcription at the A of the ATG translational initiation codon, or one to two bases u...

Pardaxins are a class of ichthyotoxic peptides isolated from fish mucous glands. Pardaxins physically interact with cell membranes by forming pores or voltage-gated ion channels that disrupt cellular functions. Here we report the high-resolution structure of synthetic pardaxin Pa4 in sodium dodecylphosphocholine micelles, as determined by H solution NMR spectroscopy. The peptide adopts a bend-h...

Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi memberikan usulan penanggulangan mitigasi pasok Berdasarkan dilakukan didapatkan hasil identifikasi p...

Two new species of Seira, Seira tinguira sp. nov. and Seira paulae sp. nov. from Atlantic Rainforest Phytogeographic Domain in Paraná State, southern Brazil, are described and illustrated, with dorsal chaetotaxy labeled in detail. The general morphology of S. tinguira sp. nov. resembles S. frater (Bonet) and S. oceanica Yosii, however differs by chaeta Pa4 present in head, three extra macrochae...

Apigenin, a widely distributed flavone, exhibits excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. In addition, the methylation of apigenin is generally considered to result in better absorption and greatly increased bioavailability. Here, four putative Class II methyltransferase genes were identified from the transcriptome sequences generated from the liverwort species Plagio...
