The expression of iron-regulated systems in gram-negative bacteria is generally controlled by the Fur protein, which represses the transcription of iron-regulated promoters by using Fe2+ as a cofactor. Mutational analysis of the Campylobacter jejuni fur gene was carried out by generation of a set of mutant copies of fur which had a kanamycin or chloramphenicol resistance gene introduced into th...

We propose a continuous-time version of the correlated random walk model for animal telemetry data. The continuous-time formulation allows data that have been nonuniformly collected over time to be modeled without subsampling, interpolation, or aggregation to obtain a set of locations uniformly spaced in time. The model is derived from a continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity process that ...

With an increase in ethical awareness, people have begun to criticize the unethical issues associated with use of animal materials. This study focused on transition global consumers’ awareness toward vegan materials and relationship between interest subjects such as animals, environment, For this purpose, posts about fur/fake fur leather/fake leather uploaded Google Twitter from 2008 2019 were ...

The availability of the complete genome sequence for Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 has permitted a comprehensive characterization of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) modulon in this dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium. We have employed targeted gene mutagenesis, DNA microarrays, proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and computational motif discovery tools to define ...

Furosemide (FUR) is an anthranilic acid derivative which is a potent diuretic widely used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and edema. FUR works by blocking the absorption of salt and fluid in the kidney tubules, causing a profound increase in urine output (diuresis). Due to the considerable use of FUR, analytical determination is frequent. In this manuscript, a review of the methods...

Fur is a transcriptional regulator involved in iron-dependent control of gene expression in many bacteria. In this work we analyzed the phenotype of a fur mutant in Sinorhizobium meliloti, an alpha-proteobacterium that fixes N(2) in association with host plants. We demonstrated that some functions involved in high-affinity iron transport, siderophore production, and iron-regulated outer membran...

Abstract This article explores the relationship between tax law and settler colonialism by looking at ways in which taxes can be part of “civilizing” process Indigenous peoples. In 1921, Territory Alaska enacted a “license on business fur-farming, trapping trading pelts skins fur-bearing animals.” Since most trappers were Natives, “fur tax” de facto targeted them. unpacks sociocultural politica...

Our whole-genome microarray studies of Neisseria meningitidis MC58 previously identified a set of 153 genes whose transcription was activated during growth in iron. In this study, Fur-mediated regulation of the iron-activated nspA gene was confirmed, whereas iron-activated regulation of the secY gene was demonstrated to be Fur independent. Analysis of the Fur binding sequences in the nspA gene ...

We previously established that furnidipine (FUR) and oxy dihydropyridines prevent rats mortality by strong reduction of the lethal arrhythmias in reperfusion. Therefore we decided to study the influence of three main metabolites (M-2, M-3, M-8) of FUR on ischemia-and reperfusion- induced arrhythmias and hemodynamic parameters in rat model to examine their independent activity. The metabolites (...
