Zinc is used as an anti-gingivitis agent in oral care products and affects multiple targets in oral bacteria. We found that it acts also to suppress respiration of oral streptococci and of Fusobacterium nucleatum, an organism associated with development of gingivitis.

An Eddy current damper uses magnets to suppress vibrations due to external excitations. These dampers also called electromagnetic dampers, have advantages of no mechanical contact, high reliability and stability, but require a relatively large volume and mass to attain a given amount of damping.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are gatekeepers regulating the cellular responses induced by G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. Specifically, RGS proteins determine the magnitude and duration of GPCR signaling by acting as a GTPase-activating protein for Gα subunits, an activity facilitated by their semiconserved RGS domain. The R7 subfamily of RGS proteins is distinguished by two unique domains, DEP/DHEX and GGL, which mediate membrane targeting and stability of these proteins.

To examine functions of two small heat shock proteins of Escherichia coli, IbpA and IbpB, we constructed His–IbpA and His–IbpB, in which a polyhistidine tag was fused to the N-terminals. Both purified His–IbpA and His–IbpB formed multimers, which have molecular masses of about 2.0– 3.0 MDa and consist of about 100–150 subunits.

The effect of the extracellular chaperone, clusterin, on amyloid fibril formation by lipid-free human apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) was investigated. Sub-stoichiometric levels of clusterin, derived from either plasma or semen, potently inhibit amyloid formation by apoC-II. Inhibition is dependent on apoC-II concentration, with more effective inhibition by clusterin observed at lower concentrations of apoC-II. The average sedimentation coefficient of apoC-II fibrils formed from apoC-II (0.3 mgÆmL)1) is reduced by coincubation with clusterin (10 lgÆmL)1). ...

Cytidine in the anticodon second position (position 35) and G or U in position 36 of tRNAArg are required for aminoacylation by arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) from Escherichia coli. Nevertheless, an arginine-accepting amber suppressor tRNA with a CUA anticodon (FTOR1D26) exhibits suppression activity in vivo [McClain, W.H. & Foss, K. (1988) Science, 241, 1804 –1807]. By an in vitro kinetic study with mutagenized tRNAs, we showed that the arginylation of FTOR1D26 involves C34 and U35, and that U35 can be replaced by G without affecting the activity.

The 5¢ flanking region of the bile salt export pump (Bsep) gene was systematically analysed to provide the basis for understanding the mechanisms which regulate Bsep transcription. In addition substrates and drugs were investigated for their ability to alter Bsep promoter activity. Bsep promoter function was restricted to hepatocyte derived HepG2 cells. The 5¢ deletional analysis revealed a biphasic shape of reporter gene activities, indicating a suppressive element between nucleotides )800 and )512. ...

Two genes (CM-AAT1 and CM-AAT2) with strong sequence homology (87% identity at the protein level) putatively involved in the formation of aroma volatile esters have been isolated from Charentais melon fruit. They belong to a large and highly divergent family of multifunctional plant acyl-transferases and show at most 21% identity to the only other fruit acyl-transferase characterized so far in strawberry. RT-PCR studies indicated that both genes were specifically expressed in fruit at increasing rates in the early and mid phases of ripening.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, contains a hydrogenase enzyme, which is induced by anaerobic adaptation of the cells. Using the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) approach, the differential expression of genes under anaerobiosis was analyzed. A PCR fragment with similarity to the genes of bacterial Fe-hydrogenases was isolated and used to screen an anaerobic cDNA expression library of C. reinhardtii.

Binding of lamin B receptor (LBR) to chromatin was studied by means of an in vitro assay system involving recombinant fragments of human LBR and Xenopus sperm chromatin. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-fused proteins including LBR fragments containing the N-terminal region (residues 1–53) and arginine-serine repeat-containing region (residues 54–89) bound to chromatin. The binding of GST-fusion proteins incorporating the N-terminal and arginine-serine repeat-containing regions to chromatin was suppressed by mild trypsinization of the chromatin and by pretreatment with a DNA solution....

Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) protein exhibits many diverse biochemi-cal functions on the tumour suppressor protein p53, including transcrip-tional suppression and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. However, more recent data have shown that MDM2 can exhibit ATP-dependent molecular chap-erone activity and directly mediate folding of the p53 tetramer. Analysing the ATP-dependent function of MDM2 will provide novel insights into the evolution and function of the protein.

Production of nitric oxide (NO) in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated using cultures of mouse peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and the macrophage cell line RAW264.7. In the presence of anti-(interferon-c) (IFN-c), NO production was markedly suppressed in the PEC culture but not in the RAW264.7 culture. In the PEC culture, LPS induced both IFN-cproduction and activation of IFNresponse factor-1, which leads to the gene expression of inducible NO synthase, but neither was induced in the culture of RAW264.7 cells....

Monoclonal nonspecific suppressor factor (MNSF) is a cytokine with antigen nonspecific suppressive activity. MNSFb(a subunit of MNSF) is a 14.5kDa fusion protein consisting of a proteinwith 36%identitywith ubiquitin and ribosomal protein S30. The ubiquitin-like segment (Ubi-L) may be cleaved from MNSFbin the cytosol. Recently, we have observed that Ubi-L covalently binds to intracellular proteins in mitogen-activated murine T-helper type 2 clone, D.10 cells.
