PURIFICATION AND BINDING ANALYSIS OF THE NITROGEN FIXATION REGULATORY NIFA PROTEIN FROM AZOSPIRILLUM BRASILENSE

Purification and binding analysis of the nitrogen fixation regulatory NifA protein from Azospirillum brasilense

NifA protein activates transcription of nitrogen fixation operons by the alternative sigma54 holoenzyme form of RNA polymerase.This protein binds to a well-defined upstream activator sequence (UAS) located at the -200/-100 position of nif promoters with the consensus motif TGT-N10-ACA.NifA of Azospirillum brasilense was purified in the form of a gl

Tiotropium and Fluticasone Inhibit Rhinovirus-Induced Mucin Production via Multiple Mechanisms in Differentiated Airway Epithelial Cells

Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are associated with acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, which are accompanied by mucus hypersecretion.Whereas, various studies have shown that HRVs increase epithelial mucin production and thus may directly contribute to mucus hypersecretion.The effects of drugs use

Spin angular momentum density and transverse energy flow of tightly focused kaleidoscope-structured vector optical fields

We propose a novel scheme for read more designing and generating kaleidoscope-structured vector optical fields (KS-VOFs) by analogy with the principle of multiple mirror reflection in a kaleidoscope.For KS-VOFs with symmetric polarization states, we show the symmetry properties of the focal fields with various shapes for different applications.The

Management of a rare case of isolated U-shaped displaced sacral fracture in a young female high school student

Sacral fractures in young healthy patients are usually iphone 14 price chicago linked to high-energy trauma.They are often associated with multiple other injuries.Isolated sacral fractures are rare and can be easily missed in the absence of other surrounding pelvic or spinal injuries.In this article, we present a rare case of isolated U-shaped disp
