Molecular characteristics and expression of calmodulin cDNA from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis schlegelii.
Authors: L.-G. Zeng, J.-H. Wang, Y.-J. Li, J.-Q. Sheng, Q. Gu and Y.-J. Hong
Calmodulin (CaM) is a multifunctional intracellular calcium ion receptor protein that participates in a range of cellular processes, including calcium metabolism in mussels. To investigate the role of CaM in freshwater mollusk shell calcium metabolism, the full-length CaM cDNA was isolated from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyr.. Read More»

Cloning and sequence analysis of sucrose phosphate synthase gene from varieties of Pennisetum species
Authors: H.C. Li, H.B. Lu, F.Y. Yang, S.J. Liu, C.J. Bai and Y.W. Zhang
Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) is an enzyme used by higher plants for sucrose synthesis. In this study, three primer sets were designed on the basis of known SPS sequences from maize (GenBank: NM_001112224.1) and sugarcane (GenBank: JN584485.1), and five novel SPS genes were identified by RT-PCR from the genomes of Pennisetum spp (the hybrid P. american..

Relationship between the magnitude of the inbreeding coefficient and milk traits in Holstein and Jersey dairy bull semen used in Brazil
Authors: M.P. Soares, L.G. Gaya, L.H. Lorentz, F. Batistel, G.A. Rovadoscki, E. Ticiani, V. Zabot, Q. Di Domenico, A.P. Madureira and S.F.N. P�©rtile
Artificial insemination has been used to improve production in Brazilian dairy cattle; however, this can lead to problems due to increased inbreeding. To evaluate the effect of the magnitude of inbreeding coefficients on predicted transmitting abilities (PTAs) for milk traits of Holstein and Jersey breeds, data on 392 Holstein.. Read More»

KIR gene polymorphism study in the Uygur population in Xinjiang, China
Authors: G.-Y. Lin and Y.-B. Wang
We analyzed killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene polymorphisms and genotype and haplotype characteristics in the Uygur population, a non-nomadic ethnic group found in Xinjiang, China, to provide a basis for studies on relationships between KIRs and diseases in this group. Sequence-specific primer PCR was used to detect the KIR gene in 84 Uy.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression pattern of oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) nitric oxide synthase
Authors: N.M.A. Rahman, H.T. Fu, S.M. Sun, H. Qiao, S. Jin1,, H.K. Bai, W.Y. Zhang, G.X. Liang, Y.S. Gong, Y.W. Xiong and Y. Wu
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) produces nitric oxide (NO) by catalyzing the conversion of l-arginine to l-citrulline, with the concomitant oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Recently, various studies have verified the importance of NOS invertebrates and invertebrates. However, the NOS gene family in the ori.. Read More»

Low productivity of ribonucleotide reductase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae increases sensitivity to stannous chloride
Authors: T.S. Basso, C. Pungartnik and M. Brendel
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a tetrameric protein complex, consisting of two large and two small subunits. The small subunits Y2 and Y4 form a heterodimer and are encoded by yeast genes RNR2 and RNR4, respectively. Loss of Y4 in yeast mutant rnr4Δ can be compensated for by up-regulated expression of Y2, and.. Read More»

Reproductive outcome of a case with familial balanced translocation t(3;6): implications for genetic counseling
Authors: H.-G. Zhang, X.-Y. Liu, Y. Hou, S. Chen1, S. Deng and R.-Z. Liu
Although it is known that parental carriers of structural chromosomal rearrangements are associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, subsequent natural pregnancies remain possible. We examined the reproductive outcome of a familial balanced translocation with t(3;6)(q12;q27). Karyotyping of the proband revealed 46,XY chromosomes with the balanced t.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of the pseudorabies virus UL31 gene
Authors: M.L. Li, Z.Y. Zhao, W. Cui, C.C. Mo, J.L. Wang and M.S. Cai,
We amplified a 816-bp sequence of the UL31 gene from the pseudorabies virus (PRV) Becker strain genome. Evidence that this was the UL31 gene was confirmed by cloning and sequencing. The PRV UL31 gene encodes a putative protein of 271-amino acid residues, which was designated the UL31 protein. Bioinformatic analysis indicated t.. Read More»

Application of SCAR markers linked with mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease-resistance gene in Pakistan mungbean germplasm
Authors: R. Binyamin, M.A. Khan, N.A. Khan and A.I. Khan
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease (MYMVD) caused by single-stranded DNA begomovirus is the most prominent threat to the mungbean crop in Pakistan. Mungbean genotypes consisting of 127 varieties/lines were screened for MYMVD under natural field conditions. No genotypes were found to be immune or highly resistant agai.. Read More»

Authors: L. Stankevicins, C.A.F. Aiub, J.L. Mazzei, G. Lobo-Hajduand I. Felzenszwalb
The marine environment is a rich source of biologically active compounds with pharmacological properties. Marine organisms often produce secondary metabolites with structural features different from those produced by terrestrial ones, and the Phylum Porifera seems to be one of the most productive in this sense. This study was .. Read More»
