Fluctuations in the level of a physical model of a continuous casting mold were studied to determine the structure of the oscillations in the molten steel level. A water model of one third of scale of an actual continuous casting machine with a perfect control configuration was used in experiments. The liquid level in the mold is measured by recording at high-speed the level fluctuations and then...
The pore formation activity of Cry1Ab toxin is analyzed in an improved membrane preparation from apical microvilli structures of Manduca sexta midgut epithelium cells (MEC). A novel methodology is described to isolate MEC and brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from purified microvilli structures. The specific enrichment of apical membrane enzyme markers aminopeptidase (APN) and alkaline phosphatase...
Cry toxins form lytic pores in the insect midgut cells. The role of receptor interaction in the process of protoxin activation was analyzed. Incubation of Cry1Ab protoxin with a single chain antibody that mimics the cadherin-like receptor and treatment with Manduca sexta midgut juice or trypsin, resulted in toxin preparations with high pore-forming activity in vitro. This activity correlates with...
Among the small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) involved in the spliceosomal processing of pre-mRNA, U6 is the most conserved. As a first evidence for the presence of the splicing machinery in the amitochondrial protozoan Entamoeba histolytica (Eh), we have cloned the u6 snRNA gene. We find that in this organism u6 is a single copy gene that is transcribed as a poly(A) - RNA molecule of approximately...
