Chlorophyll (Chl) b serves an essential function in accumulation of light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) in plants. In this article, this role of Chl b is explored by considering the properties of Chls...

Inhibition of pancreatic protein secretion by ghrelin in the rat

Zhang, Weizhen, Chen, Min, Chen, Xuequn, Segura, Bradley J, Mulholland, Michael W

The role of ghrelin in the regulation of pancreatic protein secretion was investigated in vivo using anaesthetized rats with pancreatic ductal cannulas, and in isolated pancreatic acinar cells and...

Reversal of Spontaneous Autoimmune Insulitis in Nonobese Diabetic Mice by Soluble Lymphotoxin Receptor

Wu, Qiang, Salomon, Benoît, Chen, Min, Wang, Yang, Hoffman, Lisa M., Bluestone, Jeffrey A., ...

One striking feature of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes is the prototypic formation of lymphoid follicular structures within the pancreas. Lymphotoxin (LT) has been shown to play an important role in...

Deficiency of Bim in dendritic cells contributes to overactivation of lymphocytes and autoimmunity

Chen, Min, Huang, Li, Wang, Jin

Apoptosis in dendritic cells (DCs) can potentially regulate DC homeostasis and immune responses. We have previously observed that inhibition of the Fas signaling pathway in DCs results in spontaneous...

β cell-specific deficiency of the stimulatory G protein α-subunit Gsα leads to reduced β cell mass and insulin-deficient diabetes

Xie, Tao, Chen, Min, Zhang, Qing-Hong, Ma, Zheng, Weinstein, Lee S.

The G protein α-subunit Gsα is required for hormone-stimulated cAMP generation. In pancreatic β cells, Gsα mediates the signaling of glucagon-like peptide 1 and other incretin hormones, which are...

Nuclear polyglutamine-containing protein aggregates as active proteolytic centers

Chen, Min, Singer, Lena, Scharf, Andrea, Von Mikecz, Anna

Protein aggregates and nuclear inclusions (NIs) containing components of the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) proteins, and transcriptional coactivators...

Niche adaptation and genome expansion in the chlorophyll d-producing cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina

Swingley, Wesley D., Chen, Min, Cheung, Patricia C., Conrad, Amber L., Dejesa, Liza C., Hao, Jicheng, ...

Acaryochloris marina is a unique cyanobacterium that is able to produce chlorophyll d as its primary photosynthetic pigment and thus efficiently use far-red light for photosynthesis. Acaryochloris...

Outer membrane protein G: Engineering a quiet pore for biosensing

Chen, Min, Khalid, Syma, Sansom, Mark S. P., Bayley, Hagan

Bacterial outer membrane porins have a robust β-barrel structure and therefore show potential for use as stochastic sensors based on single-molecule detection. The monomeric porin OmpG is especially...

The Genome of Heliobacterium modesticaldum, a Phototrophic Representative of the Firmicutes Containing the Simplest Photosynthetic Apparatus▿ †

Sattley, W. Matthew, Madigan, Michael T., Swingley, Wesley D., Cheung, Patricia C., Clocksin, Kate M., Conrad, Amber L., ...

Despite the fact that heliobacteria are the only phototrophic representatives of the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, genomic analyses of these organisms have yet to be reported. Here we describe the...

A Kolmogorov-Smirnov type test for conditional heteroskedasticity in time series

Chen, Min, An, Hong Zhi

In this paper we propose a new test of conditional heteroskedasticity for time series by introducing a Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type test statistic. The asymptotic properties of the new test statistic are...

The geometric ergodicity and existence of moments for a class of non-linear time series model

An, Hongzhi, Chen, Min, Huang, Fuchun

In this paper we consider the non-linear time series model xt=[var epsilon]t([alpha]0+[alpha]1xt-1r[beta]+...+[alpha]pxt-pr[beta])1/r. When r = 2 it is called the [beta]-ARCH(p) model. We examine the...

Decreased Dicer expression elicits DNA damage and up-regulation of MICA and MICB

Tang, Kai-Fu, Ren, Hong, Cao, Jia, Zeng, Gui-Li, Xie, Jing, Chen, Min, ...

RNA interference (RNAi) acts constitutively to silence the innate immune response, and innate immunity genes are misregulated in Dicer-deficient Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we show that inhibition...

Osteoblastic regulation of B lymphopoiesis is mediated by Gsα-dependent signaling pathways

Wu, Joy Y., Purton, Louise E., Rodda, Stephen J., Chen, Min, Weinstein, Lee S., McMahon, Andrew P., ...

Osteoblasts play an increasingly recognized role in supporting hematopoietic development and recently have been implicated in the regulation of B lymphopoiesis. Here we demonstrate that the...

Severe Obesity and Insulin Resistance due to Deletion of the Maternal Gsα Allele Is Reversed by Paternal Deletion of the Gsα Imprint Control Region

Xie, Tao, Chen, Min, Gavrilova, Oksana, Lai, Edwin W., Liu, Jie, Weinstein, Lee S.

The G protein α-subunit Gsα mediates receptor-stimulated cAMP production and is imprinted with reduced expression from the paternal allele in specific tissues. Disruption of the Gsα maternal (but...

Does economic endogeneity of site facilities in recreation demand models lead to statistical endogeneity?

Chen, Min, Lupi, Frank

Different kinds of endogeneity problems in Random Utility Models of recreation demand have been studied in previous literature. Some site characteristics, like facilities, could be endogenous in an...

Empirical likelihood based diagnostics for heteroscedasticity in partial linear models

Wong, Heung, Liu, Feng, Chen, Min, Ip, Wai Cheung

In this paper, we propose a diagnostic technique for checking heteroscedasticity based on empirical likelihood for the partial linear models. We construct an empirical likelihood ratio test for...
