Cytochrome P450 4F3 (CYP4F3) catalyzes the inactivation of leukotriene B4 by ω-oxidation in human neutrophils. Here, we examined the mRNA and protein expression of the CYP4F3 in HL-60 cells, an acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line, in the presence of hydroquinone(HQ). We found hydroquinone led to a decrease in cell proliferation and a increase in cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent and time-dependent...
With genome-wide screening of N. vectensis, two new groups of Polinton were identified, beside five Polinton groups deposited in Repbase. The typical N. vectensis Polinton is in length of 15-20kb and has long TIRs with a 6-bp TSDs. it encodes as many as 6 different proteins, including retroviral-like integrase (INT), adenovirus protease (PRO), DNA polymerase B (POLB) and putative ATPase (ATP). These...
Predicting subcellular localizations of proteins is very important for the determination of protein functions. In this paper, we present a K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) method for predicting the subcellular localizations of proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. The method makes predictions based on a weighted Euclidian distance computed from amino acid composition. The method achieves 81.4% accuracy in...
Developing effective methods for analyzing array-CGH data to detect chromosomal aberrations is very important for the diagnosis of pathogenesis of cancer and other diseases. Current analysis methods, being largely based on smoothing and/or segmentation, are not quite capable of detecting both the aberration regions and the boundary break points very accurately. This is undesirable, since each point...
