Polycystin-2 (PC2) is a calcium channel that can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasmatic membrane, and the primary cilium. The structure of PC2 is characterized by a highly ordered C-terminal tail with an ...

The multiplicity problem of limit cycles arising from a weak focus is addressed. The proposed methodology is a combination of the frequency domain method to handle some degenerate Hopf bifurcations with the powerful tools ...

This work summarizes results obtained on membranes composed of the ternary mixture dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG), egg sphingomyelin (eSM) and cholesterol (Chol). The membrane phase state as a function of composition ...

We describe the purification, crystallization and structure for the GTP-binding domain of human septin 7 (SEPT7G). We show that it forms filaments within the crystal lattice which employ both the G and NC interfaces, similar ...

Early in the plant defense response against pathogens, transcription of specific genes is activated. We studied the genes up-regulated in the early resistance reaction of Phaseolus vulgaris against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. ...

Four members of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) family StCDPK22/23/24 and StCDPK27, present three functional EF-hands motifs in their calmodulin-like domain (CLD). StCDPK22/23/24 ...

Septins form a conserved family of filament forming GTP binding proteins found in a wide range of eukaryotic cells. They share a common structural architecture consisting of an N-terminal domain, a central GTP binding ...

Neurological soft signs (NSS) are frequently found in severe mental disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia or HIV associated neumcognitive disorder (HAND) which includes asymptomatic neumcognitive impairment ...
