Using ages and kinematic traceback: the origin of young local associations (2008)

Fernandez, D, Dang, T A, Spudich, G M, Zhou, X R, Berger, B R, Christie, P J

The Agrobacterium tumefaciens virB7 gene product contains a typical signal sequence ending with a consensus signal peptidase II cleavage site characteristic of bacterial lipoproteins. VirB7 was shown...

The Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirB7 lipoprotein is required for stabilization of VirB proteins during assembly of the T-complex transport apparatus.

Fernandez, D, Spudich, G M, Zhou, X R, Christie, P J

The Agrobacterium tumefaciens virB7 gene product is a lipoprotein whose function is required for the transmission of oncogenic T-DNA to susceptible plant cells. Three lines of study provided evidence...

Molecular characterization of races and vegetative compatibility groups in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum.

Fernandez, D, Assigbese, K, Dubois, M P, Geiger, J P

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and vegetative compatibility analyses were undertaken to assess genetic relationships among 52 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum of...

Processing and secretion of human carboxypeptidase E by C6 glioma cells.

Manser, E, Fernandez, D, Lim, L

Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) catalyses the removal of C-terminal basic amino acids and is implicated in the processing of peptides and hormones in secretory vesicles. The enzyme has been isolated in...

Human carboxypeptidase E. Isolation and characterization of the cDNA, sequence conservation, expression and processing in vitro.

Manser, E, Fernandez, D, Loo, L, Goh, P Y, Monfries, C, Hall, C, ...

Carboxypeptidase E (CPE), which cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in neuropeptide processing, is itself subject to intracellular processing. Human CPE cDNA was isolated and...

Variability of oestrogen and progesterone receptor status between primary breast cancer and nodal metastases: preliminary communication.

Fernandez, D, Sauven, P, Alaghband-Zadeh, J, Burn, J I

The synchronous relationship between oestrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptor status in primary tumours and their nodal metastases has been analysed in 26 patients. All patients with...

Intermolecular disulfide bonds stabilize VirB7 homodimers and VirB7/VirB9 heterodimers during biogenesis of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-complex transport apparatus.

Space flight alters bacterial gene expression and virulence and reveals a role for global regulator Hfq

Wilson, J. W., Ott, C. M., Zu Bentrup, K. Höner, Ramamurthy, R., Quick, L., Porwollik, S., ...

A comprehensive analysis of both the molecular genetic and phenotypic responses of any organism to the space flight environment has never been accomplished because of significant technological and...
