Background The pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) is closely associated with cellular oxidative stress which can result in the accumulation of toxic proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leading to ...

Bacterial 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxlyate (ACC) deaminase (AcdS) is an enzyme that cleaves ACC, a precursor of the plant hormone ethylene, into α-ketobutyrate and ammonia. The acdS gene was cloned from Pseudomonas ...

We have demonstrated that 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)isolated from Bacillus subtilis MORI could enhance the levels of adiponectin and its receptors in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which has been shown to be effective in ...

This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of 1-methoxylespeflorin G11 (MLG), a pterocarpan, against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in neuronal HT22 hippocampal cells. The protective effects of MLG were ...

The microtubule-associated protein, tau, is involved in numerous neuronal processes such as vesicle transport, microtubule-plasma membrane interaction and the intracellular localization of proteins. Tau is known to be ...

The expression of 14-3-3 proteins is dysregulated in various types of cancer. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of 14-3-3 ζ and 14-3-3 σ on cell growth inhibition mediated by transforming growth factor-beta ...

침입해충인 담배가루이 (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius)의 12개 지역집단에 대하여 살충제 14종의 추천농도 (RC, recommended concentration)와 추천농도의 10배 (0.1RC), 100배 (0.01RC) 희석농도에서의 살충력 (mortality)을 엽침지법을 이용하여 조사하였다. Etofenprox, thiamethoxam, pyriproxyfen, ...

examined using a PCR-based approach. 16S rDNA sequenceswere amplified and cloned from thre fractions of rumen(solid, fluid, and epithelium) that are likely to representdiferent bacterial niches. A total of 113 clones ...

제주도에 서식하는 2종의 해양 해면, Dictyonella sp.와 Spirastrella abata의 공생세균 군집구조를 16S rDNA-DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) 방법에 의해 분석하였다. 해면으로부터 total genomic DNA를 추출하여 GC clamp가 추가된 세균에 특이적인 341f primer와 518r primer를 ...
