protein - a clue to the function of the eosinophil granulocyte Jonas Bystrom1*, Kawa Amin2,3, David Bishop-Bailey1 Abstract Eosinophil granulocytes reside in respiratory mucosa including lungs, in the gastro-intestinal tract, and in lymphocyte associated organs, the thymus, lymph nodes and the ...
Here, we describe the expression and functional analysis ofFam183bin frog embryos and mice. In both species, expression was correlated with the presence of motile cilia. FAM183b protein localised to the basal body and interacted with nucleoporin NUP93, which also localises to the basal body. K...
Two of these mutants exhibit a unique gain-of-function molecular phenotype: A799V exhibits a HCO3−-independent cation leak, while Q913R exhibits a Na+and HCO3−-independent Cl−leak. A homology model of NBCe1, based on the crystal structure of the related protein AE1 (anion exchanger ...
which developed lungs and first invaded land. From the teleosts evolved the classAmphibia, which includes frogs and toads. The amphibians gave rise to the class Reptilia, which became more adapted to land and diverged along several evolutionary lines. Among the groupsdescendingfrom the primitive rept...

Larynx, a hollow, tubular structure connected to the top of the windpipe (trachea); air passes through the larynx on its way to the lungs. The larynx also produces vocal sounds and prevents the passage of food and other foreign particles into the lower r
but theresidualones grow as large as necessary in order to restore the original function of the organ. Other mammalian organs exhibit similar reactions. The kidney, pancreas, thyroid, adrenal glands, gonads, and lungs compensate in varying degrees for reductions in mass by enlargement of the remai...

The development of novel antimicrobial agents to replace antibiotics has become urgent due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), widely distributed in all kingdoms of life, present strong antimicrobial act
