BICOID RNA LOCALIZATION REQUIRES THE TRANS-GOLGI NETWORK

bicoid RNA localization requires the trans-Golgi network

Abstract Background The formation of the bicoid (bcd) mRNA gradient is a crucial step for Bcd protein gradient formation in Drosophila.In the past, a microtubule (MT)-based cortical network had been shown to be indispensable for bcd mRNA transport to the posterior.Results We report the identification of a MT-binding protein CLASP/Chb as the first c

Soluble Forms and Ligands of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-Products in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An Observational Prospective Study.

The main soluble Pulse Sensor Wire form of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE) is elevated during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).However other RAGE isoforms and multiple ligands have been poorly reported in the clinical setting, and their respective contribution to RAGE activation during ARDS remains unclear.Our goa

Lower Bounds and Semi On-line Multiprocessor Scheduling

We are given a set of identical machines and a sequence of jobs from which we know the sum of the job weights in advance.The jobs have to be assigned on-line to one of the machines and the Protein objective is to minimize the makespan.An algorithm with performance ratio 1.6 and a lower bound of 1.5 is presented.This improves recent results by Azar
