Functional characterization of CDY family proteins and their role in recognition of the heterochromatic histone H3K9me3 modification

Franz, Henriette (2010-01-14)

In the nucleus of eukaryotic cells the DNA is wrapped around octamers of histone proteins containing two H2A-H2B dimers and one (H3-H4)2 tetramer. This entity represents the basic repeating ...

Functional characterization of m Satb1 and Satb2 in the developing neocortex

De Juan Romero, Meury del Camino (2008-11-21)

Satb1, special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1, is a transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of tissue-specific organization of chromatin. It is localized at nuclei ...

Functional Characterization of Neurexophilins in the Central Nervous system

Benglopoulos, Vasileios (2002-09-04)

Neurexophilins (Nphs) form a family of proteins that were discovered as components of the alpha-latrotoxin receptor, based on their strong binding to the synaptic membrane proteins ...

Functional characterization of the gene schlappohr (CG7739) during Drosophila development

Halbsgut, Nils (2010-08-11)

In this study the role the gene schlappohr (shlp) during development of Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila) was investigated. shlp encodes a evolutionary highly conserved protein with ...

Functional Characterization of the Histone Methyltransferase and Methyl DNA Binding Protein MDU and its Role in Epigenetic Regulation of Rbf Gene in Drosophila Melanogaster

Gou, Dawei (2008-12-16)

The methylation of genomic DNA and histones is paramount for the execution of epigenetic events such as imprinting, gene dosage compensation, and gene silencing. Studies in fungi, plants ...

Functional characterization of the human renal organic anion transporter 3 (hOAT3) and comparison to hOAT1

Bakhiya, Nadiya (2004-06-01)

Renal secretion of organic anions is critically dependent on their basolateral uptake against the electrochemical gradient. Due to their localization, two transporters are likely involved, ...

Functional diversity of mycorrhiza in relation to land-use changes and ecosystem functions

Schröter, Kristina (2016-02-19)

Managing forest ecosystems has a long tradition in Germany. However, the influence of this intervention on the most important symbiosis partners of the trees, mycorrhizal fungi, is poorly understood. The fungal partner ...

Functional gene analysis in cultured vertebrate cells using siRNA mediated gene silencing

Gruber, Jens (2005-02-23)

Gene expression can be silenced in a sequence-specific manner by use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in a process that is known as RNA interference (RNAi). The application of RNAi ...

Functional imaging of the anesthetized brain in primates and rodents

Sirmpilatze, Nikoloz (2022-07-05)

Understanding the brain is aided by visualizing neural activity over time. The most popular method for doing so in humans is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)—a method that tracks blood oxygenation as a proxy ...

Functional neuroimaging of pathophysiological mesolimbic dopamine system and aberrant motivational salience in schizophrenia

Richter, Anja (2017-06-16)

Schizophrenia is a common and devastating psychiatric illness with prominent variability regarding its process, symptomatology and treatment response. The disorder is characterized by three broad types of symptoms including ...

Functional organisation of the central complex of the grasshopper <i>Chorthippus biguttulus</i> in relation to sound production

Kunst, Michael (2008-05-27)

The central complex is a major control neuropile for the situation specific selection of sound pattern of grasshoppers. The current thesis tries to investigate the role of different neurotransmitter systems in this brain ...

Functional Phage Genomics of selected Taxa

Chibani, Cynthia Maria (2019-06-26)

This work reports the potential of a fully automated genome based phage prediction and classification method with ever-increasing amounts of sequencing data. Firstly, we present an approach we call ClassiPhage and ClassiPhages ...

Functional properties and Ca2+-dependent feedback modulation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in glutamatergic nerve terminals of the mammalian auditory brainstem

Lin, Kun-Han (2012-03-02)

The functional properties of mammalian presynaptic nerve endings remain elusive since most terminals of the central nervous system are not accessible to direct electrophysiological recordings. ...
