MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SURFACE-LOCALIZED ADHESION PROTEIN IN MYCOPLASMA BOVIS HUBEI-1 STRAIN.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a surface-localized adhesion protein in Mycoplasma bovis Hubei-1 strain.

Mycoplasma bovis (M.bovis) is an important pathogen that causes various bovine diseases, such as mastitis in cows and pneumonia in calves.The surface proteins are generally thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of this organism.We screened the entire genome of M.bovis Hubei-1 and discovered a White Kidney Bean gene named vpmaX that enc

AtOMA1 Affects the OXPHOS System and Plant Growth in Contrast to Other Newly Identified ATP-Independent Proteases in Arabidopsis Mitochondria

Compared with yeast, our knowledge on members of the ATP-independent plant mitochondrial proteolytic machinery is rather poor.In the present study, using confocal microscopy Energy Support and immunoblotting, we proved that homologs of yeast Oma1, Atp23, Imp1, Imp2, and Oct1 proteases are localized in Arabidopsis mitochondria.We characterized these

Transitive inference in cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus).

Transitive inference (TI) is the ability to infer unknown relationships from previous information.To test TI in non-human animals, transitive responding has been examined in a TI task where non-adjacent pairs were presented after premise pair training.Some mammals, birds and paper wasps can pass TI tasks.Although previous studies showed that some f
