The protein was active in all cell lines tested and showed >10-fold differential activity across the set, with MDA-MB-231 cells (breast cancer) being most sensitive (IC50 = 0.27 ± 0.025 μM) and murine AML12 liver cells least sensitive (IC50 = 3.8 ± 0.18 μM). We suspect that ...
This chapter focuses on the studies of the structure and biosynthesis of bacterial walls that are intimately associated with the mechanism of action of several antibacterial agents. The cell envelope of gram-positive bacteria is composed of two separate and distinct structures: (1) a thick external...
Having defined the structures and enzymatic functions ofC. acnesHyls, we asked if the HA fragments produced by HylA and HylB induce inflammatory pathology noted in the in vivo experiments. For these assays, we digested HA with rHyls or supernatant derived from WT or ∆hylfor 24 h and me...
Functional base-pairing interaction between highly conserved elements of U3 small nucleolar RNA and the small ribosomal subunit RNA The U3 nucleolar RNA has a remarkably wide phyletic distribution extending from the Eukarya to the Archaea. It functions in maturation of the small subunit... JMX Hughes...

Their biological functions have meanwhile been extended by numerous molecular, genomic, and genetic studies implicating them in diverse physiological and developmental processes, including cell enlargement, fruit softening, pollination, leaf abscission, and leaf primordium emergence (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...
Cytoplasm or protoplasm of a bacterial cell is a gel like matrix composed of 80% water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, gases, inorganic ions, and many low molecular weight compounds and cell structures such as ribosomes, chromosomes (nucleoid), and plasmids. ...
