  • They pulse-labeled growing cells with radioactive methionine and cysteine to tag newly translated proteins, then followed TDP-43 radioactivity over time. (alzforum.org)
  • This protein is part of a signaling pathway that plays an important role in development before birth. (medlineplus.gov)
  • This finding suggests that both subunits of the protein complex likely contribute to RNA recognition. (rcsb.org)
  • The activity of CDKs is controlled by their binding to coactivator subunits termed Cyclins, as well as by CDK inhibitory proteins termed CKIs. (intechopen.com)
  • The Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) is a multiprotein device that has emerged as an important fitness and virulence factor for many Gram-negative bacteria through the injection of effector proteins into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells via a contractile mechanism. (frontiersin.org)
  • The second study, posted online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry on June 16, suggests one possible mechanism by which TDP-43 might bind other proteins. (alzforum.org)
  • Proviral infection at the "site of the highest degree" was thought to be the mechanism of carcinogenesis, giving the first name to the gene found along this pathway as INT1. (chemdiv.com)
