Lysine acetylation (LysAc), a form of reversible protein posttranslational modification previously known only for histone regulation in plants, is shown to be widespread in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Sixty-four Lys modification sites were identified on 57 proteins, which operate in a wide variety of pathways/processes and are located in various cellular compartments. A number of photos...

The B eef Species Symposium titled “Nutrient Requirements o f the B eef Female in Extensive Grazing Systems— Considerations for Revising the B eef NRC” was held at the Joint Annual Meeting o f the American Dairy Science Association and American Society o f Animal Science in Indianapolis, IN, July 8 to 11, 2013.

Studies of rice protein expression have increased considerably with the development of rice functional genomics. In order to obtain reliable expression results in western blotting, information on appropriate reference proteins is necessary for data normalization. To date, no published study has identified and systematically validated reference proteins suitable for the investigation of rice pro...

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major metabolic disorder causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. The prominent adverse effects of allopathic drugs are the principal reason for an escalating number people seeking alternative complementary-based therapies that may have less or no effects. poly-herbal formulation Vilva Kudineer Choornam (VKC) combination Siddha medicinal plants treatment diabetes. ...

BACKGROUND Although ethanol exerts widespread action in the brain, only recently has progress been made in understanding the specific events occurring at the synapse during ethanol exposure. Mice deficient in the calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclases, AC1 and AC8 (DKO), demonstrate increased sedation duration and impaired phosphorylation by protein kinase A (PKA) following acute ethanol treatmen...

Addition of serum or epidermal growth factor to quiescent Swiss mouse 3T3 cells in culture leads to a number of specific changes in the pattern of protein synthesis. Earlier experiments with actinomycin D suggested that the altered expression of these proteins was controlled at either the pretranslational or translational level. Here we have identified and further characterized the regulation o...

Evaluating the sustainability of cropland use is essential for guaranteeing a secure food supply and accomplishing agriculture sustainable development. This study was conducted in the ecologically vulnerable Loess Plateau region of China to evaluate the sustainability of cropland use based on an ecological footprint model that integrates emergy analysis. One modified method proposed in 2005 is ...

Energy efficiency in museums and buildings that house works of art or cultural heritage appears to be a difficult achievement if indoor air quality has kept at appropriate levels for artefacts’ long-term sustainability. There is gap our scientific literature on the relationship between energy efficiency, meaning there are no numerical data examine both them simultaneously, although this theme b...

Abstract Today, torrefaction is important technique for extending the potential of biomass improvement energy density. The independent variables investigated study were temperature, retention time, acid concentration, and particle size. experiment was designed by central composite design (CCD) method using expert (version 11). three dependent higher heating value (HHV), enhancement factor (EEF)...
