THE EVOLUTIONARY CONSERVED TRANSMEMBRANE BAX INHIBITOR MOTIF (TMBIM) CONTAINING PROTEIN FAMILY MEMBERS 5 AND 6 ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SURVIVAL OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

The mammalian Transmembrane BAX 30x24x24 wall cabinet Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) protein family consists of six evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic proteins that affect programmed cell death and the regulation of intracellular calcium levels.The bacterial ortholog BsYetJ is a pH-dependent calcium channel.We here identified seven TMBIM family members

Situation of lichens of aquatic and transient habitats in Eastern and East-Central European lowlands is discussed basing on example of several equi-jec 6 selected species: Leptogium biatorinum, Sarcosagium campestre, Steinia geophana, Verrucaria aquatilis, V.hydrela, V.praetermissa, V.xyloxena.Both habitat types are generally very much neglected in

Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to be a useful tool for population estimation of sound-producing fish and mammals (mostly whales).Previous work on population estimates of callers employed a simple cross-correlation technique with recordings from two acoustic sensors, and the current work extends the technique to two configurations of

Maize (Zea mays L.) protein is considered to be of low quality due to low levels of the essential lysine and tryptophan amino acids.An alternative to solve this problem is to use the opaque-2 gene, which improves the level of these amino acids, but has negative pleiotropic effects on agronomic characters.A phenotypic recurrent gruvi golden lager se

Hepatoses of laying hens are quite common in poultry farms as a result of improper practices of poultry maintenance consisting in excessive number of protein feeds for provision of high productivity.The objective of the study was preventive efficacy of Gep-A-Stress hepatoprotectors (carnitine hydrochloride, D L methionine, sorbitol, choline chlorid
