61 Citations1995Jörn Wettach, Harald Peter Gohl +2 more
It is demonstrated that yeast and human TBP can substitute for aTFB in a Methanococcus-derived archaeal cell-free transcription system and imply a common evolutionary origin of eucaryal and archaealing transcriptional machinery.

Journal of Biological ChemistryTwo Separate Functions Are Encoded by the Carboxyl-terminal Domains of the Yeast Cyclase-associated Protein and Its Mammalian Homologs
60 Citations1996Audrey Zelicof, Vladimir Protopopov +4 more
It is demonstrated that the carboxyl-terminal domains of CAP and CAP homologs have two separate functions, and evidence that links a segment of the proline-rich region of CAP to its localization in yeast suggests that all three domains ofCAP proteins are functional.

Mycological ResearchInvasion and development of Verticillium lecanii in the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis
59 Citations1994Gerd Schreiter, Tariq M. Butt +3 more
Conidia of Verticillium lecanii, coated with mucilage, adhered to all surfaces of the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), and hyphae eventually emerged from the diseased insect and differentiated into conidiophores which produced conidia coated in mucus.
Molecular and General Genetics MGGYeast Srp1, a nuclear protein related toDrosophila and mouse pendulin, is required for normal migration, division, and integrity of nuclei during mitosis
58 Citations1995Polonca Küssel, Manfred Frasch
It is suggested that Srp1p interacts with multiple components of the cell nucleus that are required for mitosis and discussed its functional similarities to, and differences from Drosophila pendulin.
Molecular and Cellular BiologyThe <i>GCR1</i> Requirement for Yeast Glycolytic Gene Expression Is Suppressed by Dominant Mutations in the <i>SGC1</i> Gene, Which Encodes a Novel Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix Protein
58 Citations1995Kayoko Nishi, Chang Seo Park +4 more
Dominant mutations in two genes, SGC1 and SGC2, as well as recessive mutations in the SGC5 gene were identified as suppressors of the growth and transcriptional defects caused by a gcr1 null mutation, demonstrating that S GC1 is required for maximal enolase gene expression.
Functional EcologyGrowth Responses to Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae and Elevated CO 2 in Seedlings of a Tropical Tree, Beilschmiedia pendula
58 Citations1996Catherine E. Lovelock, Damond A. Kyllo +1 more
V Vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae increased relative growth rates (RGR) of the shade-tolerant tropical tree species Beilschmiedia pendula at both ambient and doubled CO2 concentrations.
Molecular and Cellular BiologyThe Duplicated <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> Gene <i>SSM1</i> Encodes a Eucaryotic Homolog of the Eubacterial and Archaebacterial L1 Ribosomal Proteins
56 Citations1995Anne Petitjean, Nathalie Bonneaud +1 more
Biochemical analysis shows that Ssm1p is a structural protein that forms part of the largest 60S ribosomal subunit, which does not exist in a pool of free proteins, and Polysome profile analysis suggests that the primary defect caused by the depletion in Ssm 1p is at the level of translation initiation.
MycosesEvaluation of Calcofluor staining in the diagnosis of fungal corneal ulcer
55 Citations1993Jagdish Chander, Arunaloke Chakrabarti +3 more
Calcofluor white stain was significantly more sensitive than KOH wet mount in demonstrating fungal pathogens in demonstrating mycotic keratitis.
Mycological ResearchPolymorphism of Tox0Leptosphaeria maculans isolates as revealed by soluble protein and isozyme electrophoresis
55 Citations1995Claude Gall, Marie‐Hélène Balesdent +3 more
A high degree of polymorphism between isolates of the NA1 subgroup was shown following alkaline phosphatase (ALP) analysis, and the possible prevalence of isolates from the NA2 and NA3 subgroup within the European Tox 0 population is discussed.
Journal of environmental polymer degradationDegradation of L- and DL-lactic acid oligomers in the presence ofFusarium moniliforme andPseudomonas putida
55 Citations1996A. Torres, Suming Li +2 more
The ability of two microorganisms, a filamentous fungus and a bacterium, to assimilate the degradation by-products of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), namely, lactic acid, lactyllactic acid dimers, and higher oligomers, was investigated in liquid culture.
Journal of BacteriologyG1n3p is capable of binding to UAS(NTR) elements and activating transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
55 Citations1996Thomas S. Cunningham, Vladimir Svetlov +3 more
It is argued that Gln3p is capable of direct UAS(NTR) binding and participates in transcriptional activation of NCR-sensitive genes.
