13. Localization and socialization: Experimental insights into the functional architecture of IP3 receptors
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-evoked Ca2+ signals display great spatiotemporal malleability. This malleability depends on diversity in both the cellular organization and in situ functionality of IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) that regulate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recent experimental data imply that these considerations are not independe

14. Fancy meeting you here! A fresh look at "prokaryotic" protein phosphorylation.
Bacteria play host to a wide range of protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation systems (Fig. 1). As little as five years ago the known systems were thought to be late-emerging and absolutely prokaryote specific. Today we know that most protein kinases and protein phosphatases are descended from a set of common, and possibly quite ancient, prototypes. Prokar

15. Lmo4 and Clim1 Progressively Delineate Cortical Projection Neuron Subtypes during Development
Molecular controls over the development of the exceptional neuronal subtype diversity of the cerebral cortex are now beginning to be identified. The initial subtype fate decision early in the life of a neuron, and the malleability of this fate when the balance of key postmitotic signals is modified, reveals not only that a neuron is deterministically set on

16. Measuring Virulence Factor Expression by the Pathogenic Bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens in Culture and during Insect Infection
During insect infection Photorhabdus luminescens emits light and expresses virulence factors, including insecticidal toxin complexes (Tcs) and an RTX-like metalloprotease (Prt). Using quantitative PCR and protein assays, we describe the expression patterns of these factors both in culture and during insect infection and compare them to the associated bacteri

17. The Effects on Lignin Structure of Overexpression of Ferulate 5-Hydroxylase in Hybrid Poplar1[W]
Poplar (Populus tremula × alba) lignins with exceedingly high syringyl monomer levels are produced by overexpression of the ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H) gene driven by a cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) promoter. Compositional data derived from both standard degradative methods and NMR analyses of the entire lignin component (as well as isolated lignin fractio

18. Scrambling of the actin I gene in two Oxytricha species.
The DNA in a germ-line nucleus (a micronucleus) undergoes extensive processing when it develops into a somatic nucleus (a macronucleus) after cell mating in hypotrichous ciliates. Processing includes destruction of a large amount of spacer DNA between genes and excision of gene-sized molecules from chromosomes. Before processing, micronuclear genes are inter

19. Genetic Analysis of a Chromosomal Region Containing vanA and vanB, Genes Required for Conversion of Either Ferulate or Vanillate to Protocatechuate in Acinetobacter†
VanA and VanB form an oxygenative demethylase that converts vanillate to protocatechuate in microorganisms. Ferulate, an abundant phytochemical, had been shown to be metabolized through a vanillate intermediate in several Pseudomonas isolates, and biochemical evidence had indicated that vanillate also is an intermediate in ferulate catabolism by Acinetobacte

20. Macroevolution by transposition: drastic modification of DNA recognition by a type I restriction enzyme following Tn5 transposition.
We have characterized a novel mutant of EcoDXXI, a type IC DNA restriction and modification (R-M) system, in which the specificity has been altered due to a Tn5 insertion into the middle of hsdS, the gene which encodes the polypeptide that confers DNA sequence specificity to both the restriction and the modification reactions. Like other type I enzymes, the

21. Secondary Structure as a Functional Feature in the Downstream Region of Mammalian Polyadenylation Signals
Secondary structure within the downstream region of mammalian polyadenylation signals has been proposed to perform important functions. The simian virus 40 late polyadenylation signal (SVLPA) forms alternate secondary structures in equilibrium. Their formation correlates with cleavage-polyadenylation efficiency (H. Hans and J. C.
