    Biosintesi della vitamina B3: studi strutturali e funzionali di isoenzimi nicotinamide mononucleotide adenililtrasferasi coinvolti nella protezione dalla neurodegenerazione

    No full text
    La Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide AdenililTrasferasi (NMNAT) è l’enzima chiave per la biosintesi del NAD+, sia nella via de novo che in quelle di recupero (salvage pathways). Nelle vie di recupero, l’NMNAT consente alla cellula di rigenerare il coenzima dalla vitamina B3 (niacina) o PP (Pellagra Preventing) assunta attraverso fonti esogene o ottenuta metabolicamente dalla degradazione intracellulare del dinucleotide stesso. Catalizzando il trasferimento dell’adenilato dall’ATP all’NMN, la forma mononucleotidica della vitamina B3, l’enzima porta alla formazione di PPi e NAD+. Il NAD+ è coinvolto nella cellula in vitali funzioni redox e non redox e la sua carenza è associata ad una vasta gamma di patologie nell’uomo, tra cui malattie neurodenegerative. È stato scoperto che la proteina chimerica WldS, proveniente da una mutazione spontanea sul cromosoma 4 nel ceppo murino C57BL/6J, è in grado di ritardare la degenerazione assonale. La porzione enzimaticamente attiva della proteina chimerica è l’omologo murino dell’enzima umano NMNAT1, una delle 3 isoforme note di NMNAT nei mammiferi che catalizzano la biosintesi del NAD+ in diversi distretti cellulari. Diversi lavori pubblicati hanno mostrato la capacità delle 3 isoforme di conferire protezione in varia misura, anche se non concordano su quale sia l’isoforma responsabile della protezione dalla neurodegenerazione. Per chiarire i meccanismi molecolari alla base del fenomeno sono state studiate proprietà cinetiche e molecolari delle 3 isoforme NMNAT note da mammifero. Tale studio ha permesso di mettere a punto un saggio di determinazione individuale della loro attività applicabile direttamente a estratti tissutali grezzi. Tale saggio consente di rilevare in maniera diretta le alterazioni a carico delle singole isoforme, già osservate in varie patologie cronico-degenerative riguardanti il sistema nervoso, nella pellagra e in stati patologici cellulari definiti “pellagra-like”, strettamente connessi alla carenza nutrizionale della vitamina PP

    Education and Training in St.Lucia: A Partially Annotated Bibliography

    No full text
    This bibliography on “Education and Training in St. Lucia” has been specifically prepared for the UWI School of Continuing Studies’ St. Lucia Country Conference. An attempt has been made to be as comprehensive as possible, but because of the weak bibliographical coverage of the literature of the region, important items may have been omitted. This is especially true for policy documents emanating from official sources. It covers all aspects of education and training in St.Lucia including distance education, educational finance,health and family life education and educational reform

    The language of the cataloguer (part 1). The author

    No full text
    The paper analyses the evolution of the language of cataloguing, focusing on the concept of authorship. It evaluates cataloguing principles, rules and theory, from Cutter to ICP 2016, in order to study the modification of the idea of author in cataloguing and the emerging importance of non-authorial responsibilities as access points for the organization of catalogues

    The causes and the effects of the deficiency in the Pre-Legislative and Legislative scrutiny processes in St. Lucia

    No full text
    This dissertation argues that there is a significant deficiency in the pre-legislative and legislative scrutiny processes in St. Lucia, caused by the failure of Parliament to utilize the Standing Orders in the manner in which they were intended and develop and follow a more systematic scrutiny process. The author explains how this has hindered St. Lucia’s ability to gain more benefit from the legislative process and improve the quality of legislation produced with less likelihood of amendments

    Export Processing in the Caribbean: Lessons from Four Case Studies

    No full text
    The author reviews case studies of four Caribbean countries-the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad-and briefly discusses an African country, Mauritius. He compares labour legislation, nationality of investors, technology transfer, and linkages with the rest of the economy. Of these five cases, only Trinidad failed to develop a significant export processing sector. Explanations rooted in government policy are suggested for this result.

This dataset, consisting of various collections of structured data in diverse formats, presents the results of the ARGOT project. Below, there is a list and brief description of the four interconnected subdatasets, each representing a distinct phase in the data processing pipeline. Information on each subdataset is to be found in a Readme document included in each collection. Subdataset I contains metadata on the selected periodicals used as the primary data sources. Subdataset II consists of the digitized and transcribed content from these periodicals. Subdataset III includes all extracted text lines in which author entities have been identified using Named Entity Recognition (NER) and cross-referenced with VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) identifiers. Subdataset IV contains manually validated literary translations, with enriched metadata providing additional contextual and bibliographic information
