Structural Transitions in Superionic Conductors

The $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\rightleftarrows}\ensuremath{\beta}$ phase transition in AgI is studied with use of the new molecular-dynamics technique which allows for a d...

Ligands internalized through coated or noncoated invaginations follow a common intracellular pathway.

Cholera toxin (CT) represents a class of ligands that binds preferentially to noncoated pits on the cell surface. In the present study, we have investigated the mechanism of end...

Constitutive and stimulus-induced phosphorylation of CD11/CD18 leukocyte adhesion molecules.

The leukocyte CD11/CD18 adhesion molecules (beta 2 integrins) are a family of three heterodimeric glycoproteins each with a distinct alpha subunit (CD11a, b, or c) and a common ...

BRCA1 mediates ligand-independent transcriptional repression of the estrogen receptor

Mutational inactivation of BRCA1 confers a cumulative lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancers. However, the underlying basis for the tissue-restricted tumor-suppressive prop...

Assignment of disulphide bonds in human platelet GPIIIa. A disulphide pattern for the <i>β</i>-subunits of the integrin family

Integrins are cell-surface heterodimers formed by the association of one alpha- and one beta-subunit. Glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa or beta 3 subunit) is the common beta-subunit of ...

Binding of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) to AhR-interacting Protein

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has been shown to interact with an immunophilin-like molecule known as AhR-interacting protein (AIP) and to enhance AhR function. We show her...

PLS and Success Factor Studies in Marketing

Assessing obsessive compulsive symptoms and cognitions on the internet: Evidence for the comparability of paper and Internet administration

A monoclonal antibody reacting with distinct adhesion molecules defines a transition in the functional state of the receptor CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1).

Abstract CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) is a member of the leukocyte integrin family, a group of receptors that have been implicated in various effector functions and cellular collaboration...

The major laminin receptor of mouse embryonic stem cells is a novel isoform of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin.

Laminin is the first extracellular matrix protein expressed in the developing mouse embryo. It is known to influence morphogenesis and affect cell migration and polarization. Se...

Characterization of the integrin alpha 8 subunit: a new integrin beta 1-associated subunit, which is prominently expressed on axons and on cells in contact with basal laminae in chick embryos.

Constitutive and induced phosphorylation of the alpha- and beta-chains of the CD11/CD18 leukocyte integrin family. Relationship to adhesion-dependent functions.

Abstract We sought to determine whether the activation event which renders the CD11/CD18 leukocyte integrin/Leu-CAM glycoproteins capable of promoting cell to cell adhesion was ...
