The rhomboids consist of two muscles; the rhomboid muscle which lays above the rhomboid major. As a whole, the muscles resemble a rhomboid (hence the name) which looks like an offset rectangle. The upper end of the rhomboids sit relatively high on the back; almost in the middle of the ...
The human genome contains several rhomboid-like genes which can be phylogenetically grouped in three major classes [2]. The first class, includes the true active rhomboids genes that are subdivided into secretase (e.g. RHBDL-1/-2/-3 and RHBDD1 genes) and PARL-type subfamilies. The second...
Beyond this mechanistic distinction, there are two major differences between the pathways involved in current examples of RIP and Spitz cleavage by Rhomboid-1. First, previously characterized examples of RIP result in the cytoplasmic release of either membrane-tethered transcription factors or proteins ...
In patients allotted to the RISS group, a linear ultrasound probe was placed in the sagittal plane at the T5–6 level, just medial to the scapula, to identify the trapezius, rhomboid major, and intercostal muscles. A 21-gauge needle was inserted in the plane between the rhomboid major and...
Coupled with other recent findings on proneural gene function, our results have two major implications: (1) We describe a model for how Ato and Sens inputs are integrated to differentially regulate gene expression during SOP cell lineage development, and (2) we discuss how a proneural input (...
