The molecular mechanisms regulating cell proliferation and development during the life cycle of malaria parasites remain to be elucidated. The peculiarities of the cell cycle organization during Plasmodium falciparum schizogony suggest that the modalities ...

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family members are transcription factors involved in important physiological processes, such as cellular proliferation and differentiation, regulation of energy homeostasis, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Transcript ...
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), which mediates selective cellular cholesterol uptake from high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. The orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) and S ...
A series of ca. 20-ns molecular dynamics simulation runs of the N-terminal H4 histone tail in its un- and tetraacetylated forms were performed using three different long-range electrostatic treatments namely, spherical-cutoff, reaction field, and particle ...
Long-range chromosome organization is known to influence nuclear function. Budding yeast centromeres cluster near the spindle pole body, whereas telomeres are grouped in five to eight perinuclear foci. Using live microscopy, we examine the relative positio ...
The hydrogenation of benzene and other arenes under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions is evaluated using the ruthenium complexes Ru(eta(6)-C10H14)(pta)Cl-2 (pta=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), Ru(eta(6)-C10H14)(tppts)Cl-2 (tppts=tris-3-sulfonatophenyl ...
Tetra- (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are major groundwater pollutants due to their extensive industrial use. Several anaerobic bacteria have been isolated using chloroethenes as terminal electron acceptor. Most of these bacteria dechlorinate PCE and TCE ...
The structure and the associated dynamics of a series of poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate)-b-poly(dimethyl siloxane)-b-poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG-b-PDMS-b-PBLG) triblock copolymers were investigated using small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, NMR, transmi ...
The Gam1 protein of the avian CELO adenovirus activates transcription through inhibition of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). We investigated the effect of Gam1 on both transient and stable transgene expression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, one of the ...
Multiprotein bridging factor (MBF-1) is a cofactor that was first described for its capacity to modulate the activity of fushi tarazu factor 1, a nuclear receptor originally implicated in Drosophila development. Recently, it has been shown that human MBF-1 ...
