ABSTRACT Degradation of intracellular proteins in Gram-negative bacteria regulates various cellular processes and serves as a quality control mechanism by eliminating damaged proteins.To understand what causes the proteolytic machinery of the cell to degrade some proteins while sparing others, we employed a quantitative pulsed-SILAC (stable isotope
Cytokinin dehydrogenase (CKX; EC.1.5.99.12) regulates the level of cytokinin (CK) in plants and is involved in CK regulatory activities.In different plants, a small gene family encodes CKX proteins with varied numbers of members.These genes are expanded in the genome mainly due to segmental duplication events.Despite their biological importance, CK
A 67-year-old female with recent hospitalization for pneumonia was transferred to our facility for high fevers and positive feline 1-hcpch vaccine blood cultures for staph aureus.During her treatment for pneumonia, central venous catheter was placed.A systolic murmur was found in conjunction with fever and notable premature ventricular contractions
BackgroundHuman intestinal parasitosis and microsporidiosis are a global health concern, mostly in endemic areas but should not be neglected elsewhere.Recent nationwide epidemiological data are scarce, especially from primary health care and developed countries.Diagnosis by molecular tools are increasing and several commercial gastrointestinal pane
