Crystal structure of yeast initiation factor 4A, a DEAD-box RNA helicase

Caruthers, Jonathan M., Johnson, Eric R., McKay, David B.

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) is a member of the DEA(D/H)-box RNA helicase family, a diverse group of proteins that couples an ATPase activity to RNA binding and unwinding....

Monitoring Changing Toxigenicity of a Cyanobacterial Bloom by Molecular Methods

Baker, Judith A., Entsch, Barrie, Neilan, Brett A., McKay, David B.

Cyanobacterial blooms are potential health hazards in water supply reservoirs. This paper reports analyses of a cyanobacterial bloom by use of PCR-based methods for direct detection and...

Substrate Specificity and Expression of Three 2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-Dioxygenases from Rhodococcus globerulus Strain P6

McKay, David B., Prucha, Matthias, Reineke, Walter, Timmis, Kenneth N., Pieper, Dietmar H.

Rhodococcus globerulus strain P6 contains at least three genes, bphC1, bphC2, and bphC3, coding for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases; the latter two specify enzymes of the family of one-domain...

Species of the Family Helicobacteraceae Detected in an Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea) with Chronic Gastritis
