Alternative pre-mRNA splicing is one of the major mechanisms utilized by metazoans to regulate gene expression and to increase the functional diversity of the eukaryotic proteomes.
This turned out to be an elegant new mechanism for RNA remodeling that is distinct from the mechanisms utilized by other known RNA chaperones and remodelers.
Examples of different adhesive mechanisms utilized by several key bacterial pathogens that cause detrimental biofilms on medical devices are described.
We also discuss the mechanisms utilized by pathogens to subvert innate immunity and thereby overcome defensive responses.
Considerable progress has been made in the last few years in our understanding of the adhesion mechanisms utilized by platelets to adhere to sites of vascular injury.
Among the β-lactamase genes, the presence of the OXA-51-like gene carrying the upstream insertion sequence, ISAba1, was found to be one of the most prevalent carbapenem resistance mechanisms utilized by these bacteria.
However, the mechanisms utilized by TCP CERL differ greatly from those used in TCP Veno.
These basic science discoveries have shed light onto previously unknown mechanisms utilized by tumor cells during metastasis and open new avenues to combat this deadly disease.
Understanding the common mechanisms that have driven evolution in a wide variety of animals- from small newts to big sharks to giraffes- can actually allow scientists a unique insight into the common mechanisms utilized by evolution across all lineages.
These circumstances are also important for UPR-activation mechanisms utilized by other bacteria, for instance Pseudomonas aeruginosa and H2O2-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae [6, 7] (Fig. 2 (C)).
This long-term enhancement was spatially restricted to synapses from active presynaptic fibers and appeared to involve mechanisms utilized by LTP, occluding the subsequent induction of LTP by strong tetanic stimulation.
