Abstract:
Protein-protein interaction networks provide important information about what the biological function of proteins whose roles are unknown might be in a cell. These interaction networks were analyzed by a variety of approaches by running them on a single computer and the roles of the proteins identified were used to predict the function of the proteins unidentified. The functional flow is an approach that takes the network connectivity, distance effect, topology of the network with local and global views into account. With these advantages, that the functional flow produces more accurate result

Abstract:
Myelin is an evolutionarily late acquisition of the vertebrate nervous system which speeds electrochemical signaling in mature nerve fibers by providing insulation in the form of a lipid-rich multilammelar sheath. Proteolipid Protein (PLP) is the most abundant protein in mature mammalian central nervous system myelin where it serves as a structural component in addition to other yet undefined roles. It is coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level with other myelin genes such as Myelin Basic Protein (MBP). The major components of MBP transcriptional regulation have been defined using

Abstract:
The emergence of genomics as a discrete field of biology has changed humanity’s understanding of our relationship with bacteria. Sequencing the genome of each newly-discovered bacterial species can reveal novel gene sequences, though the genome may contain genes coding for hundreds or thousands of proteins of unknown function (PUFs). In some cases, these coding sequences appear to be conserved across nearly all bacteria. Exploring the functional roles of these cases ideally requires an integrative, cross-species approach involving not only gene sequences but knowledge of interactions among the

ORF57 plays a pivotal role in transactivating viral gene expression by specifically mediating the nuclear export of intronless viral transcripts. To perform this function, ORF57 has the ability to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, bind viral RNA and interact with various cellular proteins involved in nuclear import and

It is unknown what the different functions of IE0 and IE1. Both IE0 and IE1 can transactivate viral early genes and support viral DNA replication.

(2) How does LSH interaction with, and modulate, the DNA methylation machinery? To determine if LSH is an active SNF2 ATPase, recombinant LSH was purified from insect cells and biochemically characterised.

At the apex, the FT protein interacts with FD to initiate floral development through transcriptional activation of APETALA1 and SOC1.
