Abstract:
Echistatin is a potent antagonist of the integrins αvβ3, α5β1 and αIIbβ3. Its full inhibitory activity depends on an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) motif expressed at the tip of the integrin-binding loop and on its C-terminal tail. Previous NMR structures of echistatin showed a poorly defined integrin-recognition sequence and an incomplete C-terminal tail, which left the molecular basis of the functional synergy between the RGD loop and the C-terminal region unresolved. We report a high-resolution structure of echistatin and an analysis of its internal motions by off-resonance ROESY (rotating-frame Overhau

ABSTRACT A role for the C-terminal domain (CTD) of murine leukemia virus (MuLV) Env protein in viral fusion was indicated by the potent inhibition of MuLV-induced fusion, but not receptor binding, by two rat monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for epitopes in the CTD. Although these two MAbs, 35/56 and 83A25, have very different patterns of reactivity with viral isolates, determinants of both epitopes were mapped to the last C-terminal disulfide-bonded loop of SU (loop 10), and residues in this loop responsible for the different specificities of these MAbs were identified.

Abstract:
Chromosome segregation and mitotic exit are initiated by the 1.2-MDa ubiquitin ligase APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome) and its coactivator CDC20 (cell division cycle 20). To avoid chromosome missegregation, APC/CCDC20 activation is tightly controlled. CDC20 only associates with APC/C in mitosis when APC/C has become phosphorylated and is further inhibited by a mitotic checkpoint complex until all chromosomes are bioriented on the spindle. APC/C contains 14 different types of subunits, most of which are phosphorylated in mitosis on multiple sites. However, it is unknown which of the

Formation of pores lead to the killing of cells due to cellular ion imbalance and efflux of important biomolecules such as ATP, from the cell.

Abstract:
In this project, we find a new service for partial control-flow linearization (PCFL), a code transformation initially conceived to maximize work performed in vectorized programs. We show that PCFL can be employed as a defense mechanism against timing attacks. This transformation is sound: given an instance of its public inputs, the partially linearized program always runs the same sequence of instructions, regardless of secret inputs. Incidentally, if the original program is publicly safe, then accesses to the data cache will be data oblivious in the transformed code. The transformation is opt

Abstract:
The objective of the Digital Optical Computer (DOC) group at the University of Colorado at Boulder is to implement a general purpose computer using the speed advantages of light.[1] The machine is being implemented using lithium niobate directional couplers as logic elements and optical fiber loops for memory. Figure 1 shows the logic functionality of the directional coupler. Terminal C, normally an electronic input, has been converted to an optical input by the addition of a sensitive detector, amplifier, and thresholder.[2] This paper describes the implementation of the fiber optic delay lin

Abstract:
As part of the Space Rider’s (SR) verification and validation campaign of the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system for the flight under the parafoil phase, a series of Scale Down Flight Test (SDFT) are envisioned for phases C/D of the project. These tests have the following objectives for what concerns GNC: increasing the maturity level of the Parafoil GNC (PGNC), de-risking especially its novel terminal guidance approach in view of flight and for drop tests, provide a preliminary assessment of the real-life achievable landing accuracy, test onboard wind estimation, test robustness of

Abstract:
The original objectives of the approved proposal included: (a) The determination of species- and tissue-specificity of the PBAN-R; (b) the elucidation of the role of juvenile hormone in gene regulation of the PBAN-R; (c) the identificationof the ligand binding domains in the PBAN-R and (d) the development of efficient screening assays in order to screen potential antagonists that will block the PBAN-R. Background to the topic: Moths constitute one of the major groups of pest insects in agriculture and their reproductive behavior is dependent on chemical communication. Sex-pheromone blends are
