Apparent Km values for FPP were calculated as 0.82 μM for HaGAS1, 1.06 μM for thioredoxin-HaGAS1 and 0.74 μM for HaGAS2, indicating a similar range like previously reported for sesquiterpene synthases [ 58, 59].
Like previously shown for M. sexta [ 40], S. exigua moths showed a clear preference for JA/JA-Ile deficient plants, with 136 egg deposits on OPR3-RNAi as compared to 35 on wild-type plants.
Like previously 17 for the purposes of this study standing will be considered a measure of sedentary behaviour.
The fusion of the AlkB-like domain with an RNA-binding domain suggests that the ABH8 protein, like previously found for hABH3, may be involved in repair of alkylation damage in RNA.
The results show a clear increase for ACTH after stress in both mouse strains and at both time points selected in our study (Fig. 2), like previously also for CORT [ 21].
Like previously observed for many MCF proteins [ 12, 34, 36– 38] also plant APCs were synthesized at high levels and accumulated in form of insoluble inclusion bodies (Additional file 1: Figure S1A and B).
Here, we would like to argue that the repetition suppression effects we observed in the anterior part of the right STS are related to acoustical feature extraction related to voice cognition, like previously shown for speaker identity (Imaizumi et al. 1997; Belin and Zatorre 2003; Andics et al. 2010; Latinus et al. 2011).
Surprisingly, an A. thaliana knock-down TPT mutant (tpt-1; identical to ape2, [ acclimation of photosynthesis to environment2; [ 12]) lacked any pronounced development or growth phenotype [ 13], mainly because the reduced TPT transport capacity can be compensated for by an increased starch turnover in the light [ 13, 14] like previously reported for antisense TPT tobacco plants [ 15].
To verify that conditional tethering of MAD1 to kinetochores could delay anaphase onset like previously shown for direct fusion of MAD1 to MIS12 (Maldonado and Kapoor 2011), we added rapamycin to a population of cells in G2 phase and monitored mitotic progression by live cell differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging.
Furthermore, the findings of strong negative Tajima's D values in the absence of other features of positive selection, pinpoint HBD as a target of purifying selection like previously reported for innate-immunity genes under strong functional constraints (Barreiro et al. 2009; Mukherjee et al. 2009; Wlasiuk and Nachman 2010).
It could be hypothesized, like suggested previously for genotypic variants of orbivirus [38], that duplication of packaging signals or secondary structures in rearranged segments may increase their probability to be encapsidated.
