Family activities

The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to explain and describe the daily cash flow management processes of families. From data gathered through semi-structured interviews, themes are developed and linked into a daily cash flow management framework. The proposed model suggests that families have a process for managing money. The process focuses on short-term viability through safety, control, comfort, and routine aspects. Cash flow activities are motivated by the near future, feelings and values, experience, and situational knowledge.

The diagnosis of stroke is a feared yet unfortunately common event. Despite its prevalence, however, both the lay public and medical profes- sionals harbor many misconceptions about it. The very term “stroke” describes the way this disorder often occurs. Frequently an active, inde- pendent person is literally “struck down.” Stroke is a sudden, life-altering event that often gives no warning of its approach.

According to the United States Department of Defense, by the end of 1993 there were 2,036,646 reservists and family members and 3,343,235 active duty and family members for a total of 5,379,781 people affected by the military. Since then, because of the conflict in Iraq, the numbers have dramatically increased. While we have always had military families in our midst, not since the Vietnam War have their struggles been so vivid, particularly with alarming rates of increase of both suicide and divorce among military personnel.

Fibroblast activation protein-a(FAP) is a cell surface-expressed and solu-ble enzyme of the prolyl oligopeptidase family, which includes dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4). FAP is not generally expressed in normal adult tissues, but is found at high levels in activated myofibroblasts and hepatic stellate cells in fibrosis and in stromal fibroblasts of epithelial tumours.

Of the 600+ known proteases identified to date in mammals, a significant percentage is involved or implicated in pathogenic and cancer processes. The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) gene family, comprising four enzyme members [DPIV (EC 3.4.14.5), fibroblast activation protein, DP8 and DP9] and two nonenzyme members [DP6 (DPL1) and DP10 (DPL2)], are inter-esting in this regard because of their multiple diverse functions,

We reported previously that the major cysteine protease in embryos and larvaeof thebrine shrimp,Artemia franciscana, is a heterodimeric protein consisting of a catalytic subunit (28.5 kDa) with a high degree of homology with cathep-sin L, and a noncatalytic subunit (31.5 kDa) of unknown function. In the study reportedhere thenoncatalytic subunit, or cathepsin L-associated protein (CLAP), was separated from cathepsin L by chromatography on Mono S and found tocontainmultiple isoformswithpIs ranging from5.9 to 6.1.

The direct conversion of plant cell wall polysaccharides into soluble sugars is one of the most important reactions on earth, and is performed by cer-tain microorganisms such as Clostridium thermocellum(Ct). These organ-isms produce extracellular multi-subunit complexes (i.e. cellulosomes) comprising a consortium of enzymes, which contain noncatalytic carbohy-drate-binding modules (CBM) that increase the activity of the catalytic module.

This minireview series examines the structural principles underlying the biological function of RNA-binding proteins. The structural work of the last decade has elucidated the structures of essentially all the major RNA-binding protein families; it has also demonstrated how RNA recognition takes place. The ribosome structures have further integrated this knowledge into principles for the assembly of complex ribonucleoproteins. Structural and biochemical work has revealed unexpectedly that several RNA-binding proteins bind to other proteins in addition to RNA or instead of RNA....

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) belongs to the serpin family of serine proteinase inhibitors. Serpins inhibit their target proteinases by an ester bond being formed between the active site serine of the proteinase and the P1 residue of the reactive centre loop (RCL) of the serpin, fol-lowed by insertion of the RCL intob-sheet A of the serpin. Concomitantly, there are conformational changes in the flexible joint region lateral tob-sheet A.

Streptomyces mobaraensis secretes a Ca 2+ -independent transglutaminase (TGase) that is activated by removing an N-terminal peptide from a precursor protein during sub-merged culture in a complex medium [Pasternack, R., Dorsch, S., Otterbach, J. T., Robenek, I. R., Wolf, S. & Fuchsbauer, H.-L. (1998)Eur. J. Biochem. 257, 570–576]. However, an activating protease could not be identified, probably because of the presence of a 14-kDa protein (P14 ) belonging to theStreptomycessubtilisin inhibitor family. ...

Eos is a zinc finger transcription factor of the Ikaros family. It binds typical GGGAA Ikaros recognition sites in DNA and functions as a transcriptional repressor. Here we show that Eos associates with the corepressor C-terminal-binding protein (CtBP). CtBP has previously been shown to bind Pro-X-Asp-Leu-Ser (PXDLS) motifs in several DNA-binding proteins. We note that Eos contains a relatedmotif PEDLA, and we demonstrate that CtBP can bind this site weakly but that it also contacts additional regions of Eos....

Thea3b1 integrin is an adhesion receptor for extracellular matrix proteins including isoforms of laminin, and the changes of its expression level in various cancer cells are thought to cause their malignant phenotypes. We have cloned an approximately 4 kb DNA fragment of the 5¢-flanking region of the murinea3 integrin gene and analyzed its promoter activity.

This is your first chance to use everything you’ve learned so far. Pay special attention to the details and the facts, and make a habit of trying to identify the author’s main idea; also, try to think of the author’s motive for writing the passage. As newspaper reporters do, ask the questions, “Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why?” Is the author’s purpose to inform you of facts, persuade you of something, or simply to entertain you? As you read, try marking up the passages or taking notes.
