Genome Information of <i>Methylobacterium oryzae</i>, a Plant-Probiotic Methylotroph in the Phyllosphere by Min-Jung Kwak (628456)

“…To gain insights into the life style at the phyllosphere and the genetic bases of plant growth promotion, we determined and analyzed the complete genome sequence of <i>Methylobacterium oryzae</i> CBMB20^T, a strain isolated from rice stem. The genome consists of a 6.29-Mb chromosome and four plasmids, designated as pMOC1 to pMOC4. …”

Identification and Functional Validation of Caldesmon as a Potential Gastric Cancer Metastasis-associated Protein by Qian Hou (672015)

“…Finally, knockdown of caldesmon using siRNA in AGS and FU97 gastric cancer cells resulted in an increase in cell migration and invasion, while the overexpression of caldesmon in AZ521 cells led to a decrease in cell migration and invasion. This study has thus established the potential role of caldesmon in gastric cancer metastasis, and further functional studies are underway to delineate the underlying mechanism of action of this protein.…”

A HIF1α Regulatory Loop Links Hypoxia and Mitochondrial Signals in Pheochromocytomas by Patricia L. M Dahia (59492)

“…The oxidoreductase defect, not previously detected in <em>VHL</em>-null tumors, is explained by suppression of the SDHB protein, a component of mitochondrial complex II. The decrease in SDHB is also noted in tumors with <em>SDHD</em> mutations. …”

Presentation_1_Dynamics of Restored and Natural Oyster Reefs After a Hurricane.PDF by Meghan J. Martinez (12001463)

“…Biophysical structure (e.g., oyster density, shell height, sediment grain size), and community composition (abundance of reef-associated epifauna, and nearby infauna) were measured for 18 months. A sharp decrease in salinity and temporary deposition of fine sediments within the first 3 months corresponded with increases in oyster and epifaunal recruitment on the restored reef, although densities were generally below those measured on restored reefs without hurricanes. …”

A reconnaissance provenance study of Triassic–Jurassic clastic rocks of the Russian Barents Sea by Andrey K. Khudoley (7352681)

“…The number of Palaeoproterozoic and Archean grains is very small and becomes significant only in a few Jurassic samples. ε_Nd(t) values gradually decrease from −1.5 to +2.5 in Lower Triassic rocks, to −2.0 to −8.2 in Jurassic rocks, suggesting an increasing influence of ancient metamorphic basement erosion in the younger Jurassic rocks. …”
