A rice semidwarfing gene, sd-1, known as the “green revolution gene,” was isolated by
positional cloning and revealed to encode gibberellin 20-oxidase, the key enzyme in the …

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety, distribution, internal dosimetry, and
initial human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive tumor images of 64 Cu-…

We searched for SNPs in 417 regions distributed throughout the genome of three Oryza sativa
ssp. japonica cultivars, two indica cultivars, and a wild rice (O. rufipogon). We found 2800 …

Background There are several clinical diagnostic criteria for allergic bronchopulmonary
aspergillosis (ABPA). However, these criteria have not been validated in detail, and no criteria …

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is an extremely toxic, persistent environmental
contaminant that disrupts normal development in laboratory animals. In our earlier study, we …

The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) is the main entry gate for
proteins 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to report the structure of the yeast …

The ϵ subunit in F 0 F 1 -ATPase/synthase undergoes drastic conformational rearrangement,
which involves the transition of two C-terminal helices between a hairpin "down"-state and …

Purpose: Excess histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity can induce hypoacetylation of histone
and nonhistone protein substrates, altering gene expression patterns and cell behavior …

The mitochondrial outer membrane contains so-called β-barrel proteins, which allow
communication between the cytosol and the mitochondrial interior 1 , 2 – 3 . Insertion of β-barrel …

OBJECTIVE: Although urinary creatinine has been used to identify incomplete 24-h urine in
numerous epidemiologic studies, information on its utility is limited. We examined the …
