Nuclear Protein Interactions with the Human KDR/flk-1 Promoter in Vivo Open
The endothelial cell type-specific tyrosine kinase KDR/flk-1 is a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor and a critical regulator of endothelial cell growth and development. To study mechanisms of endothelial cell differentiation …

Electroporation as an Alternative to Microinjection of Plasmid Dna into Bollworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Embryos Open
Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) is an economically important pest of tomato, cotton, and corn crops. We describe the successful electroporation of 2 β-glucuronidase reporter gene constructs (pKrG and pBacPAK8-GUS) into H. zea embryos. Fifty perce…

Gene transfer into corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) embryos. Open
Transposable elements with short inverted repeats at their termini have been identified in a number of diverse insect species and have proven to be useful gene delivery vectors for the transformation of Drosophila melanogaster. In this rep…

Alginate synthesis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a key pathogenic factor in chronic pulmonary infections of cystic fibrosis patients Open
Pulmonary infection by mucoid, alginate-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the leading cause of mortality among patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. Alginate-producing P. aeruginosa is uniquely associated with the environment of the c…

High osmolarity is a signal for enhanced algD transcription in mucoid and nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains Open
Chronic lung infection with mucoid, alginate-producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Transcriptional activation of the P. aeruginosa algD gene, which encodes GDPmannose de…
