Figure 2. Distribution of AQP in human AQP1 is mainly expressed in the kidney in both the cytoplasm and in the membrane. AQP1 can be induced to undergo rapid and reversible translocation to the plasma membrane upon hypotonic stimulation mediated by TRP channels, calcium, PKC and microtubules. ...
Moreover, spectra were assigned to Metazoa (3–9%), Alveolata (0–1%) and Archaea (0–0.8%) depending on sampling-site and - time (Figure 1a). We used the abundance of plant- derived spectra as a marker of the extend of litter decomposition. The obtained phylogenetic compo- sition of...
Histone proteins bind DNA and organize the genomes of eukaryotes and most archaea, whereas bacteria rely on different nucleoid-associated proteins. Homology searches have detected putative histone-fold domains in a few bacteria, but whether these function like archaeal/eukaryotic histones is unknown. Her...
Together, the results of the sequence comparison and the physiological characterisations indicate that cell-periphery proteins (e.g. extracellular sensors such asMTL1) and peripheral lipids/membranes are important evolutionary targets in the process of adaptation to the combined stresses. The capacity of...
Of particular interest are the numerous novel virions associated with Archaea viruses 1931). This allows them to spread out and avoid entanglement in the lysed cell's released contents. More subtly, it appears that the charges are arranged so that the virions are actually dipoles (De Groot ...
Riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2, is an essential component of living organisms and is the precursor of all biologically important flavins [71]. Microorganisms produce a wide range of secondary metabolites that perform multiple functions for the organisms that produce them, including survival ...
