The cDNA encoding Pfmap-2, an enzyme of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The open reading frame carried by the Pfmap-2 cDNA encodes a 508-amino acid polypeptide of 59.2 kDa with max ...

A solid-phase method for the introduction of a variety of different side chains into oligoribonucleotides is presented. It is based on a b-D-allofuranosyl phosphoramidite with a bromopentyl-substituent tethered to the 6'-O position. After its incorporation ...
In view of the neurotrophic effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), the regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression by VIP and the related peptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) was analysed by North ...
The puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA) is thought to contribute to the degradation of enkephalins. Besides being the most abundant aminopeptidase in the brain, PSA is expressed in other organs as well. From a human fetal brain cDNA library, we have i ...
The recessive mouse mutation kreisler affects hindbrain segmentation and inner ear development in homozygous mice. The mouse gene affected by the mutation was found to encode a basic domain leucine-zipper (bZIP)-type transcription factor of the Maf-family ...
Neurotrophic factors hold promise for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Intrathecal transplantation of polymer encapsulated cell lines genetically engineered to release neurotrophic factors provides a means to deliver them continuously behind th ...

Under particular circumstances like lactation and fasting, the blood-borne monocarboxylates acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and lactate represent significant energy substrates for the brain. Their utilization is dependent on a transport system present ...
Batch cultures of a mouse/mouse hybridoma cell line secreting a dimeric IgA were performed in combination with a membrane process for the continuous removal of ammonia from the culture medium. The latter involves hydrophobic porous membranes with an assocd ...
We report here the use of a specific beta-galactosidase staining assay and Northern blotting technique to examine the expression of three genes encoding either antibacterial peptides (diptericin, cecropin A) or an antifungal peptide (drosomycin) in Drosoph ...
The transport of lactate is an essential part of the concept of metabolic coupling between neurons and glia. Lactate transport in primary cultures of astroglial cells was shown to be mediated by a single saturable transport system with a Km value for lacta ...
