Abstract:

Over the environment, on the basis of days to flowering and suitability for dual purpose analysis was carried out of 100 genotypes including 75 F1s with 20 parents and 5 checks. Data were collected for grain yield, dry fodder yield, protein content in grain, protein content in fodder, TSS and juiciness. Variations between lines, testers and line × tester was significant for all characters. As both grain and dry fodder yield are important dual-purpose attributes, lines ICSA 202, ICSA 349 and ICSA 357 and ICSA 481 were found to be good general combiners for both grain and dry fodder yield.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Unipolar localization of IcsA on the surface of Shigella flexneri is required for efficient formation of actin tails and protrusions in infected eucaryotic cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mutations have been demonstrated to affect either the establishment or the maintenance of IcsA in a unipolar location, although the mechanism is unknown. In order to analyze the contribution of virulence plasmid determinants on the unipolar localization of IcsA, we examined the localization of IcsA expressed from a cloned plasmid copy in two different genetic backgrounds. The localization of IcsA was

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Autotransporters are outer membrane proteins that are widely distributed among gram-negative bacteria. Like other autotransporters, the Shigella autotransporter IcsA, which is required for actin assembly during infection, is secreted at the bacterial pole. In the bacterial cytoplasm, IcsA localizes to poles and potential cell division sites independent of the cell division protein FtsZ. To identify bacterial proteins involved in the targeting of IcsA to the pole in the bacterial cytoplasm, we screened a genome-scale library of E scherichia coli proteins tagged with green fluorescent p

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The Shigella outer membrane protein IcsA belongs to the family of type V secreted (autotransported) virulence factors. Members of this family mediate their own translocation across the bacterial outer membrane: the carboxy-terminal β domain forms a β barrel channel in the outer membrane through which the amino-terminal α domain passes. IcsA, which is localized at one pole of the bacterium, mediates actin assembly by Shigella, which is essential for bacterial intracellular movement and intercellular dissemination. Here, we characterize the transit of IcsA across the periplasm during it

ABSTRACT A Shigella flexneri degP mutant, which was defective for plaque formation in Henle cell monolayers, had a reduced amount of IcsA detectable on the bacterial surface with antibody. However, the mutant secreted IcsA to the outer membrane at wild-type levels. This suggests that IcsA adopts an altered conformation in the outer membrane of the degP mutant with reduced exposure on the cell surface. IcsA is, therefore, unlikely to be accessible to actin-nucleating proteins within the eukaryotic cell cytoplasm, which is required for bacterial movement within the host cell and cell-to-cell spr

ABSTRACT IcsA is an outer membrane protein in the autotransporter family that is required for Shigella flexneri pathogenesis.

We investigated the role of the periplasmic chaperone Skp in IcsA maturation. Skp is required for the presentation of the mature amino terminus (alpha-domain) of IcsA on the bacterial surface and contributes to cell-to-cell spread of S. flexneri in cell culture.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Shigella flexneri is a gram-negative bacterium that causes diarrhea and dysentery by invasion and spread through the colonic epithelium. Bacteria spread by assembling actin and other cytoskeletal proteins of the host into “actin tails” at the bacterial pole; actin tail assembly provides the force required to move bacteria through the cell cytoplasm and into adjacent cells. The 120-kDa S. flexneri outer membrane protein IcsA is essential for actin assembly. IcsA is anchored in the outer membrane by a carboxy-terminal domain (the β domain), such that the amino-terminal 706 amino acid re

Abstract:

✓ The authors report the occurrence of ipsilateral transient cavernous sinus syndrome during balloon test occlusion (BTO) of the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) and discuss the involved pathomechanisms. The authors reviewed their series of 129 BTOs of the ICA performed between 1989 and 1996. Two patients developed facial paresthesias and transient palsies of the third through sixth cranial nerves during test occlusion of the cervical ICA. The tests were performed prior to planned permanent carotid artery occlusion for the treatment of a neck sarcoma in one patient and a giant cavernous

Abstract:

Based on the full understanding of the current status of the reactive power optimization study, we propose an improved type of immune algorithm to solve the reactive power optimization problem by introducing the immune clonal selection algorithm (ICSA) genetic manipulation, affinity of mature, cloning and memory mechanism, and use the appropriate operator to ensure that the algorithm can quickly converge to the global optimal solution to improve the efficiency of the algorithm solving and solution accuracy, avoiding the "curse of dimensionality" and precocious problems. ICSA algorithm is propo

Abstract:

Increasing the possible capacity of distributed generations (DGs) supplying to distribution system (DS) is a highly effective solution to attract the investment of distributed generation (DG) installation in the DS. However, the presence of DGs will affect the technical indicators of the DS. This paper determines solutions of the DG placement problem for maximizing the size of distributed generations (DGs) and improving the technical indicators consisting of power loss reduction, increasing of balance among feeders and balance among branches, and voltage deviation reduction.

Abstract:

The research aim was to discover the circumstances, if any, in which contact with the parent who had abused them, could help survivors of intrafamilial child sexual abuse (ICSA) to recover from the inherent relational trauma. Thirty-five (31 female and 4 male) participants were recruited from across Australia and New Zealand to speak about their experience of post-abuse contact. The research methodology was primarily qualitative, and analysed in a contextual framework. In the Pre-Contact stage, themes such as the need for empowerment versus the fear of the response, linked to motivations for a

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The role in virulence of the Shigella flexneri ospB-phoN2 operon has been evaluated. Here we confirm that OspB is an effector and show that apyrase, the product of phoN2, may be a virulence factor, since it is required for efficient intercellular spreading. Apyrase may be important in a deoxynucleoside triphosphate-hydrolyzing activity-independent manner, suggesting that it may act as an interaction partner in the process of IcsA localization.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the scheduling and loading problems of tow trains for mixed-model assembly lines (MMALs). An in-plant milk-run delivery model has been formulated to minimize total line-side inventory for all stations over the planning horizon by specifying the departure time, parts quantity of each delivery and the destination station. Design/methodology/approach An immune clonal selection algorithm (ICSA) combined with neighborhood search (NS) and simulated annealing (SA) operators, which is called the NSICSA algorithm, is developed, possessing the global search ability

Abstract:

AbstractHybrid breeding relies on selection of genetically unrelated and complementary parents for key traits. The objective of this study was to examine genetic variation and identify unique sorghum genotypes using phenotypic and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine their relationships with combining ability and heterosis for grain yield. A total of 32 landraces and four cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines were phenotyped using 25 agro-morphological traits and genotyped with 30 polymorphic SSR markers. The landraces were crossed with four CMS lines using a line × tester mati
