victoria/tyrosine

A new A gamma chain haemoglobin variant, haemoglobin F Victoria Jubilee, with an electrophoretic mobility slightly anodal to haemoglobin F Port Royal, was found in a Jamaican infant. The amino acid residue substitution of 80 Aspartic Acid leads to Tyrosine was associated with alanine in position

Global replacements of tyrosine by 2- and 3-fluorotyrosine in "enhanced green" and "enhanced yellow" mutants of Aequorea victoria green fluorescent proteins (avGFPs) provided protein variants with novel biophysical properties. While crystallographic and modeled structures of these proteins are

The expression of the jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP) in plants was analyzed by transient expression in protoplasts from Nicotiana tabacum, Arabidopsis thaliana, Hordeum vulgare, and Zea mays. Expression of GFP was only observed with a mutated cDNA, from which a recently described cryptic

A key property of proteins of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family is their ability to form a chromophore group by post-translational modifications of internal amino acids, e.g. Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67 in GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria (Cnidaria). Numerous structural studies have

Using optimized combinatorial mutagenesis techniques and Digital Imaging Spectroscopy (DIS), we have isolated mutants of the cloned Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) that show red-shifted excitation spectra similar to that of Renilla reniformis GFP. Selective excitation of wild-type

Marburgviruses are zoonotic pathogens that cause lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. However, they do not cause lethal disease in immunocompetent mice unless they are adapted to this species. The adaptation process can therefore provide insight into the specific virus-host

BACKGROUND The exceptionally diverse species flocks of cichlid fishes in East Africa are prime examples of parallel adaptive radiations. About 80% of East Africa's more than 1 800 endemic cichlid species, and all species of the flocks of Lakes Victoria and Malawi, belong to a particularly rapidly

BACKGROUND Among cases of undifferentiated and poorly differentiated tumors in the neuroblastoma (Schwannian stroma-poor) category, the authors histologically identified a group of rare tumors, known as large cell neuroblastomas (LCNs), that are composed of large cells with sharply outlined nuclear

Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus infection is associated with severe mortality in both humans and poultry. The mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and immunity are poorly understood although recent evidence suggests that cytokine/chemokine dysregulation contributes to disease severity
