Abstract

The time course for inhibition of proline transport and irreversible loss of cell viability after treatment with colicin E1 was measured as a function of temperature between 13 and 33 degrees C, using a thermostatted flow dialysis system. Complete inhibition of proline transport at 33 and 13 degrees C occurred in 0.5 min and 3 to 5 min, respectively, after addition of colicin E1 at an effective multiplicity of about 4. At these times, the fractional cell survival, assayed by dilution directly from the flow dialysis vessel into trypsin, ranged from 35 to 80%, with viability always greater than 50% at the lower incubation temperatures. Further studies were carried out at 15 degrees C. Complete inhibition of proline transport, which required 2 to 3 min, occurred much more rapidly at 15 degrees C than did the decay of trypsin rescue, which required 10 to 15 min to reach a survival level of 10 to 20%. The direct addition of trypsin to the flow dialysis vessel, after an addition of colicin E1 that caused complete inhibition of proline or glutamine transport, resulted in restoration of net transport. The restored level was typically about 40% of the control rate, and was very similar to the fractional cell viability measured after inc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
