Noxious stimuli, such as electrical shocks to the animal's tail, enhance Aplysia's gill- and siphon-withdrawal reflex. Previous experimental work has indicated that this behavioral enhancement, known as dishabituation (if the reflex has been habituated) or sensitization (if it has not been habituated), might be mediated, at least in part, by the endogenous monoaminergic transmitter serotonin (5...

Increasing concentrations of ethidium bromide cause progressive inactivation of ribosomes, apparently by binding to double-stranded regions of the rRNA. At low drug concentrations (10(-4)M) the partial inhibition detected is due to specific release of proteins L7 and L12; activity can be restored by addition of an excess of these two proteins. At higher concentrations the inactivation is not re...

Should Employment Authorities Worry About Mergers and Acquisitions? This paper considers the role mergers and acquisitions have on employment. First, it considers the importance of different aspects of compensation policy and human resource management practices for distinguishing acquired and acquiring firms. Second, it examines which individuals from which firms remain with the newly created e...

50S ribosomal subunits were reacted with bis-(2-chloroethyl)methylamine, 2-iminothiolane or methyl p-azidophenyl acetimidate, and RNA-protein cross-link sites on the RNA were localised using our published procedures. The degree of precision with which these sites could be determined was variable, depending on the particular protein or RNA region concerned. The following positions in the 23S RNA...

Protein synthesis is globally regulated through posttranslational modifications of initiation and elongation factors. Recent high-throughput studies have identified translation factors and ribosomal proteins (RPs) as substrates for the O-GlcNAc modification. Here we determine the extent and abundance of O-GlcNAcylated proteins in translational preparations. O-GlcNAc is present on many proteins ...

Identification of all the protein components of the large subunit (39 S) of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome has been achieved by carrying out proteolytic digestions of whole 39 S subunits followed by analysis of the resultant peptides by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Peptide sequence information was used to search the human EST data bases and complete coding sequences were a...
