Variant cell fate patterns of vulval precursor cells (P3.p to P8.p). by Christian Braendle (70267)

“…<p>We distinguish three classes of variant vulval patterns in decreasing order of vulva pattern disruption: Variants with disrupted 2°−1°−2° pattern (Class A: “defects”); variants with complete 2°−1°−2° pattern and altered vulval vs. non-vulval fates for the remaining cells (Class B), variants with complete 2°−1°−2° pattern and variable adoption of 3° versus 4° fate by P4.p and P8.p (Class C). 13 non-canonical subcategories of variants are further defined by their deviant cell fate pattern in P(4–8).p (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1000877#s4" target="_blank">Material and Methods</a>). …”

Sonic Hedgehog-Signalling Patterns the Developing Chicken Comb as Revealed by Exploration of the <em>Pea-comb</em> Mutation by Henrik Boije (115266)

“…The wild-type single-comb is reduced in size and distorted in the <em>Pea-comb</em> mutant. Pea-comb is formed by a lateral expansion of the central comb anlage into three ridges and is caused by a mutation in <em>SOX5</em>, which induces ectopic expression of the SOX5 transcription factor in mesenchyme under the developing comb. …”

Spectroscopic and Theoretical Study of Cu^I Binding to His111 in the Human Prion Protein Fragment 106–115 by Trinidad Arcos-López (2542546)

“…Cu^I coordination to His111 is pH-dependent: at pH >8, 2N1O1S species are formed with one Met ligand; in the range of pH 5–8, both methionine (Met) residues bind to Cu^I, forming a 1N1O2S species, where N is from His111 and O is from a backbone carbonyl or a water molecule; at pH <5, only the two Met residues remain coordinated. …”

Correlation of Cervical Cancer Mortality with Fertility, Access to Health Care and Socioeconomic Indicators by Diama Bhadra Vale (6879314)
