1. Papel pró-inflamatório do receptor CD40 em ilhotas pancreáticas
O transplante de ilhotas humanas, utilizado como reposição das células produtoras de insulina em pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 1, está se tornando uma importante prática clínica. Entretanto, eventos inflamatórios não específicos presente nas ilhotas, são responsáveis pela vulnerabilidade das mesmas, e contribuem à diminuição do

2. Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding nitrate reductase in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, a bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) pathogen / Clonagem e caracterização do gene que codifica a nitrato redutase em Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, patógeno do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris)
The gene encoding nitrate reductase in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, nit1, was isolated and characterized. Its nucleotide sequence and regulation in response to different nitrogen sources were analyzed. The gene nit1 has 2,787 base pairs (bp) bearing a single 696 bp intron starting at nucleotide 1,808. This intron is localized in a conserved region when com

3. Expression of chimeric genes by the light-regulated cabII-1 promoter in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: a cabII-1/nit1 gene functions as a dominant selectable marker in a nit1- nit2- strain.
In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, expression of the cabII-1 gene increases dramatically in response to light (cabII-1 encodes one of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins of photosystem II). We have used a region upstream of the cabII-1 gene in translational fusions to the bacterial uidA gene (encodes beta-glucuronidase) and transcriptional fusio

4. Homologous recombination in the nuclear genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Nuclear transformation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has thus far been characterized by integration of the introduced DNA into nonhomologous sites. In this study, the occurrence of homologous recombination events during transformation was investigated with the intent of developing strategies for gene targeting and gene disruption. H

5. Far1, a Negative Regulatory Locus Required for the Repression of the Nitrate Reductase Gene in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the genes required for nitrate assimilation, including the gene encoding nitrate reductase (NIT1), are subject to repression by ammonia. To study the mechanism of ammonia repression, we employed two approaches to search for mutants with defective repression of NIT1 gene expression. (1) PF14, a gene required for flagellar functio

6. Targeted disruption of the NIT8 gene in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
We have used homologous recombination to disrupt the nuclear gene NIT8 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This is the first report of targeted gene disruption of an endogenous locus in C. reinhardtii and only the second for a photosynthetic eukaryote. NIT8 encodes a protein necessary for nitrate and nitrite assimilation by C. reinhardtii. A disruption vector was

7. Arabidopsis mutants resistant to the auxin effects of indole-3-acetonitrile are defective in the nitrilase encoded by the NIT1 gene.
Indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) is a candidate precursor of the plant growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). We demonstrated that IAN has auxinlike effects on Arabidopsis seedlings and that exogenous IAN is converted to IAA in vivo. We isolated mutants with reduced sensitivity to IAN that remained sensitive to IAA. These mutants were recessive and fell into

8. Characterization of nit-2, the major nitrogen regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa.
The nit-2 gene is the major nitrogen-regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa, and under conditions of nitrogen limitations, it turns on the expression of various unlinked structural genes which specify nitrogen-catabolic enzymes. The nit-2 gene was subcloned as a 6-kilobase (kb) DNA fragment from a cosmid that carried approximately a 40-kb N. crassa DNA insert.

9. Binding affinity and functional significance of NIT2 and NIT4 binding sites in the promoter of the highly regulated nit-3 gene, which encodes nitrate reductase in Neurospora crassa.
In the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, both the global-acting regulatory protein NIT2 and the pathway-specific regulatory protein NIT4 are required to turn on the expression of the nit-3 gene, which encodes nitrate reductase, the first enzyme in the nitrate assimilatory pathway. Three NIT2 binding sites and two NIT4 binding sites have been identified i

10. Isolation of the Chlamydomonas Regulatory Gene Nit2 by Transposon Tagging
Genetic evidence suggests that the NIT2 gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii encodes a positive regulator of the nitrate-assimilation pathway. To learn more about the function of the NIT2 gene product, we isolated the gene using a transposon-tagging strategy. A nit2 mutation caused by the insertion of a transposon was identified by testing spontaneous nit2 muta

11. Nitrate Reduction Mutants of Fusarium Moniliforme (Gibberella Fujikuroi)
Twelve strains of Fusarium moniliforme were examined for their ability to sector spontaneously on toxic chlorate medium. All strains sectored frequently; 91% of over 1200 colonies examined formed chlorate-resistant, mutant sectors. Most of these mutants had lesions in the nitrate reduction pathway and were unable to utilize nitrate (nit mutants). nit mutatio

12. nit-4, a pathway-specific regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa, encodes a protein with a putative binuclear zinc DNA-binding domain.
nit-4, a pathway-specific regulatory gene in the nitrogen circuit of Neurospora crassa, is required for the expression of nit-3 and nit-6, the structural genes which encode nitrate and nitrite reductase, respectively. The complete nucleotide sequence of the nit-4 gene has been determined. The predicted NIT4 protein contains 1,090 amino acids and appears to p
