In fact, the RRM-linker junction region is not similar to a region in any other known protein and is more likely than other regions to perform conserved functions that are specific to Tra2 (Dauwalder et al., 1996). A conserved RVDY motif was also found downstream of the RRM (Fig. 2...
In the present study, Golgi–Cox staining was used for the first time to identify the ganglia network of mouse ovaries. Also, with the help of this method of staining and serial cryo-sectioning technique and three-dimensional reconstruction of ovarian slices, the parameters of gangliogenesis relat...
Possible filopodial functions. Filopodia are frequently seen in cultured cells and are often dynamic when observed by time-lapse imaging. They have also been commonly observed in-situ such as in the sea urchin and Xenopus embryo blastocoel30,31. There is evidence that filopodia sense ...
The connection between ‘experience’ and the body have been an important feature in my learning and development as a practitioner. And where our mind fit into the equation has been an ongoing investigation that endlessly fascinating process of discovery – how we see ourselves, how this makes us...
(Figure 1B). Several highly conserved domains were identified in amino acid alignment, however, there is no report on the functions of these domains up to now (Figure S1). We cloned its three homologs inArabidopsis thalianaand named them asSTIGMA AND STYLE STYLIST 1–3(SSS1–SSS3), ...
Comprehensive knowledge of the RNA components of Sm RNPs is critical for understanding their functions. Results: We developed a multi-targeting RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) strategy to reliably identify Sm-associated RNAs from Drosophila ovaries and cultured human cells. Using this method...
Mature eggs develop in the ovaries from primary egg chambers comprised of an oocyte, nurse cells and enveloping follicle cells [5]. Primary egg chambers remain developmentally arrested until consumption of a bloodmeal, which activates the vitellogenic phase of oogenesis [6]. The processes regulating...
Macrophages produce inflammatory mediators including NO in response to bacterial LPS; NO plays a pivotal role in many body functions; however, its overproduction can lead to cytotoxicity and inflammation [17]. Therefore, NO inhibitors are essential for preventing inflammatory diseases. Nitric oxide plays...
Assembly of a bipolar microtubule spindle is essential for accurate chromosome segregation. In somatic cells, spindle bipolarity is determined by the presence of exactly two centrosomes. Remarkably, mammalian oocytes do not contain canonical centrosomes.
Disclosed is a protein complex, comprising a physiologically active polypeptide, a dimeric protein and a non-peptidyl polymer having three functional ends (3-arm), with the linkage
