Four and a half LIM protein 1C (FHL1C)
Get PDFFour-and-a-half LIM domain protein 1 isoform A (FHL1A) is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in the FHL1 gene are causative for several types of hereditary myopathies including X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy (XMPMA). We here studied myoblasts from XMPMA patients. We found that functional FHL1A protein is completely absent in patient myoblasts. In parallel, expression of FHL1C is either unaffected or increased. Furthermore, a decreased proliferation rate of XMPMA myoblasts compared to controls was observed but an increased number of XMPMA myoblasts was found in the G(0)/G(1) phase. Furthermore, low expression of K(v1.5), a voltage-gated potassium channel known to alter myoblast proliferation during the G(1) phase and to control repolarization of action potential, was detected. In order to substantiate a possible relation between K(v1.5) and FHL1C, a pull-down assay was performed. A physical and direct interaction of both proteins was observed in vitro. In addition, confocal microscopy revealed substantial colocalization of FHL1C and K(v1.5) within atrial cells, supporting a possible interaction between both proteins in vivo. Two-electrode voltage clamp experiments demonstrated that coexpression of K(v1.5) with FHL1C in Xenopus laevis oocytes markedly reduced K(+) currents when compared to oocytes expressing K(v1.5) only. We here present the first evidence on a biological relevance of FHL1C
A comment on "Intergenerational equity: sup, inf, lim sup, and lim inf"
Get PDFWe reexamine the analysis of Chambers (Social Choice and Welfare, 2009), that produces a characterization of a family of social welfare functions in the context of intergenerational equity: namely, those that coincide with either the sup, inf, lim sup, or lim inf rule. Reinforcement, ordinal covariance, and monotonicity jointly identify such class of rules. We show that the addition of a suitable axiom to this three properties permits to characterize each particular rule. A discussion of the respective distinctive properties is provided.Social welfare function; Intergenerational equity; Lim sup ; Lim inf
Multiple functions of LIM domain-binding CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors during zebrafish development
No full textThe crucial involvement of CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors for the exertion of the biological activity of LIM homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HD) has been demonstrated. In this paper we show that CLIM cofactors are widely expressed during zebrafish development with high protein levels in specific neuronal cell types where LIM-HD proteins of the Isl class are synthesized. The overexpression of a dominant-negative CLIM molecule (DN-CLIM) that contains the LIM interaction domain (LID) during early developmental stages of zebrafish embryos results in an impairment of eye and midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) development and disturbances in the formation of the anterior midline. On a cellular level we show that the outgrowth of peripheral but not central axons from Rohon Beard (RB) and trigeminal sensory neurons is inhibited by DN-CLIM overexpression. We demonstrate a further critical role of CLIM cofactors for axonal outgrowth of motor neurons. Additionally, DN-CLIM overexpression causes an increase of Isl-protein expression levels in specific neuronal cell types, likely due to a protection of the DN-CLIM/LIM-HD complex from proteasomal degradation. Our results demonstrate multiple roles of the CLIM cofactor family for the development of entire organs, axonal outgrowth of specific neurons and protein expression levels

The holotype and 4 paratypes, along with 31 other specimens from the known distributional range, are listed in Appendix 1 (Fig. 3). Measurements of each specimen of the type series of P. guianensis are provided in Table 4. Distribution. Platyrrhinus guianensis is known from Guyana and Suriname (Fig. 3). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin description of its endemic distribution in the Guiana region of South America. Diagnosis. Platyrrhinus guianensis is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of external and craniodental characteristics. The ventral fur is dark gray; ventral fur unicolor; dorsal stripe wide and brilliant white; fringe of hair along margin of uropatagium long, conspicuously dense, and pale yellow. The skull of P. guianensis lacks a fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch. Dentally, two stylar cuspules are present on the posterior cristid of P 4; and one stylid cuspulid on the anterior cristid of p 4. Description. Platyrrhinus guianensis is a small Platyrrhinus (FA 37–41 mm) distinguished from its sister species P. recifinus by its smaller size and shorter skull (Table 5; Velazco & Gardner 2009, Table 2–4 and 7). However, measurements of P. guianensis overlap with P. angustirostris, P. brachycephalus, P. fusciventris, P. helleri, P. i n c a r u m, and P. matapalensis (Tables 4 –5). Dorsal fur mostly dark brown, but paler on the upper dorsum; dorsal fur is bicolored with darker tips; facial stripes wide and white; dorsal stripe brilliant white; ventral fur dark gray, individual hairs unicolored; pinnae have well-marked fold lines; tragus and anterior and posterior rims of pinnae bright yellow (Fig. 4); lateral borders of the proximal half of the noseleaf and borders of the horseshoe yellow; inferior border of the horseshoe completely free of upper lip; posterior margin of uropatagium has the shape of an inverted ‘U’; hair on upper surface of feet brown, long and dense (Fig. 5); fringe of hair along the trailing margin of uropatagium long, conspicuously dense, and pale yellow; metacarpal III longer than metacarpal V. Rostrum is slender; has a well developed anterior notch in the nasals; postorbital processes moderately developed; paraoccipital processes poorly developed; two infraorbital foramina present; posterior border of hard palate ‘V’-shaped (Fig. 6); fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch absent; and paraoccipital and paracondylar processes poorly developed. Upper inner incisors bilobed and convergent, not in contact, and tips extend below level of cingula of upper canines; upper outer incisors monolobate; two stylar cuspules on posterior cristid of P 4; hypoconal basin fossa of P 4 shallow; M 1 parastyle present; M 1 mesostyle absent; M 1 metacone divided in two cones; M 1 metacone labial cingulum present; stylar cuspule absent on lingual cingulum of M 1 metacone; sulcus on posterior cristid of paracone joined to cingulum of lingual face of metacone on M 1; M 1 metastyle present; M 1 protocone well developed; M 2 parastyle present; labial cingulum present on M 2 paracone; stylar cuspule on lingual face of M 2 paracone absent; M 2 metastyle present; stylar cuspule absent on lingual face of M 2 metacone; lingual cingulum of the M 2 metacone not extending to the paracone; developed M 2 hypoconal basin; M 3 minute; labial and lingual cingulids on p 4; one stylid cuspulid on anterior cristid of p 4; two stylid cuspulids on posterior cristid of p 4; m 1 paraconid poorly developed; labial and lingual cingulids present on m 1; stylid cuspulid present on anterior cristid of m 1 protoconid; m 1 metaconid well developed; m 2 hypoconid absent; stylid cuspulid between the metaconid and protoconid poorly developed on m 2; labial and lingual cingulids present on m 2. Comparisons. Platyrrhinus guianensis can be confused with P. angustirostris, P. brachycephalus, P. fusciventris, P. he l l e r i, P. i nc a r u m, and P. matapalensis because their external and cranial measurements overlap (Table 3–4). But it can be easily distinguished from P. brachycephalus and P. matapalensis by the presence of one accessory cuspulid on the anterolingual cristid of p 4 (Fig. 7) (cuspulid lacking in P. matapalensis and two accessory cuspulids present in P. brachycephalus; Velazco 2005, fig. 27). Therefore, the following comparisons focus on differentiating P. guianensis from P. angustirostris, P. fusciventris, P. helleri, and P. incarum. Externally, ventral fur is dark gray in P. guianensis and P. angustirostris (brownish gray in P. i n c ar u m; pale gray in P. h el l e r i; brown in P. fusciventris); ventral fur unicolored in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, P. fusciventris, and P. h el l e r i (bicolored in P. i nc a r u m); dorsal stripe wide and brilliant white in P. guianensis and P. he l l e r i (conspicuous but narrow in P. angustirostris, P. fusciventris, and P. incarum); tragus and anterior and posterior rims of pinnae bright yellow in P. guianensis, P. fusciventris, and P. helleri (whitish in P. angustirostris and P. incarum); lateral borders of the proximal half of the noseleaf and borders of the horseshoe yellow in P. guianensis, P. fusciventris, and P. he l l e r i (whitish in P. angustirostris and P. i n c ar um); posterior margin of uropatagium with a shape of an inverted ‘U’ in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, and P. i n c ar u m (‘V’ shaped in P. fusciventris and P. helleri); fringe of hair along margin of uropatagium long, conspicuously dense, and pale yellow in P. guianensis (long, dense, and pale brown in P. helleri; long, dense, and whitish in P. fusciventris and P. i nc a r u m; short, dense, and pale brown in P. angustirostris); hair on the upper surface of feet brown, long and dense in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, and P. i n c a r um (short and intermediate in density in P. fusciventris and P. hell eri); metacarpal III longer than metacarpal V in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, and P. i n c a r um (metacarpals III and V subequal in P. fusciventris and P. he l l e r i). Cranially, there is a ‘V’-shaped posterior border of the hard palate in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, P. hel leri, and P. i n c ar u m (‘V’- or ‘U’-shaped in P. fusciventris); fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch absent in P. guianensis, P. helleri, and P. i ncarum (shallow in P. angustirostris and P. fusciventris). Dentally, there are two stylar cuspules on posterior cristid of P 4 in P. guianensis, P. fusciventris, P. helleri, and P. i nc a r u m (three in P. angustirostris); stylar cuspule on lingual face of M 2 paracone absent in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, and P. fusciventris (one stylar cuspule in P. he l l e r i and P. incarum); M 3 minute in P. guianensis and P. i n ca r u m (larger in P. h el l e r i, P. angustirostris, and P. fusciventris); one stylid cuspulid on the anterior cristid of p 4 in P. guianensis, P. fusciventris, and P. helleri (one or two in P. i n ca r u m and P. angustirostris); tall m 2 protoconid in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, P. fusciventris, P. i n c a r um (Fig. 7) (shorter in P. helleri); hypoconid lacking on m 2 in P. guianensis, P. angustirostris, P. fusciventris, and P. helleri (poorly developed in P. i n c a r um); poorly developed stylid cuspulid between the metaconid and protoconid on m 2 in P. guianensis, P. fusciventris, and P. helleri (well developed in P. i ncarum and P. angustirostris). Natural history. Platyrrhinus guianensis has been documented from an elevational range of 60 to 500 m and is found primarily in rainforest (n= 33), but 3 individuals were netted in savanna. Of the 36 specimens examined, 16 are males and 20 females. Testes size (length by width in mm) ranged from 3 by 2 to 5 by 4. From 12 January to 9 February 2006, 8 of 10 females were pregnant with crown-rump (CR) measurements ranging from 4 to 13 mm. A female was pregnant on 13 April 2002 and another on 27 July 2009 with CR of 13 mm and 4 mm, respectively. Three females were pregnant on 20 and 21 September 2001 with CR ranging from 18 to 21 mm. A non-pregnant female was collected on 24 October 1997. A female had an embryo with CR of 26 mm collected on 31 October 2005. Two non-pregnant lactating females were caught on 8 and 11 November 1999 and one non-pregnant female was caught on 19 November 1997.Published as part of Velazco, Paúl M. & Lim, Burton K., 2014, A new species of broad-nosed bat Platyrrhinus Saussure, 1860 (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from the Guianan Shield, pp. 175-193 in Zootaxa 3796 (1) on pages 181-189, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3796.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/22516
Cloning of the Minimal Functional Domain of Human Lim Mineralization Protein-3 Able To Induce Bone Mineralization: In Vitro and In Vivo Study
No full textHuman LIM mineralization protein (LMP)-3 is one of the three
splice variants of LMP recently identified. LMPs are involved in
the osteoblast differentiation program and structurally characterized
by the two conserved LIM and PDZ domains. Human LMP-1
(hLMP-1) shows one N-terminal PDZ domain and three C-term
LIM domains connected by a non-conserved Unique region, deleted
in the hLMP-2. hLMP-3 misses almost completely the LIM domains
along with part of the unique region, due to a frame shift mutation.
The three isoforms are expressed almost ubiquitously but show
quantitative differences, hLMP-3 being the less expressed in all the
analyzed tissues. Both hLMP-1 and hLMP-3 has been demonstrated
to induce bone formation in vitro and ectopic bone formation in
vivo, while hLMP-2 is not osteoinductive, suggesting that LIM
domains are not essential for this function. Thus it has been
hypothesized that the osteoinductive domain could reside in the
Unique region that is partially conserved in hLMP-3. To examine
the osteoinductive properties of this minimal domain we have cloned
three different length of the Unique region of the hLMP-3 gene,
corresponding to 120, 90 and 60 bp, fused to the enhanced green
fluorescent protein (eGFP) and named L40-eGFP, L30-eGFP and
L20-eGFP respectively. Thus we tested the ability of these
constructs to induce bone specific gene expression and bone
mineralization in vitro and ectopic bone formation in vivo in
comparison to the full-length gene hLMP-3. Here we demonstrate
that adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of all the 3 domains induces
expression of certain bone-specific genes in a mouse fibroblasts cell
line. The up-regulation of osteo-specific genes was assessed in mouse
fibroblasts also by means of biolistic transfection using a plasmid
containing a L20-eGFP fusion gene. In addition, we demonstrate
that all the domains are able to induce mineralization in fibroblast
and mesenchymal stem cells. An experiment to evaluate if direct
gene transfer of the three constructs into murine skeletal muscle
results in ectopic bone formation as efficiently as using LMP-3 is
being performed. Finally in order to propose these new constructs
as an effective approach to induce bone formation in vivo for clinical
applications, we have synthesized a peptide of 20 aminoacid,
corresponding to the fragment of 60 bp of the Unique region (named
PTD-OD-1). The peptide enter the cells by a protein transduction
domain (PTD-5) and its ability to induce in vitro expression of
bone-specific genes and bone mineralization both in fibroblast and
in human mesenchymal stem cells will be evaluated. PTD-OD-1
could represent a safe and powerful tool for clinical applications,
and merit several analysis to evaluate its ability

Public Perceptions of Genetically Modified Foods: A National Study of American Knowledge and Opinion
No full textThis report presents the results from the second phase of a longitudinal study of Americans’ knowledge and feelings about agricultural biotechnology and how those perceptions and attitudes have changed over time. Two independent national probability samples of 1,200 adults were interviewed by phone in the spring of 2001 and 2003. While this report focuses on the findings from 2003, longitudinal comparisons are presented where appropriate. The report begins with an investigation of Americans’ awareness of the presence of genetically modified (GM) ingredients in the foods they encounter everyday. Next, the report describes Americans’ actual and perceived knowledge of science, biotechnology and food production. It then examines American opinions about GM foods in general, along with their opinions on a variety of existing and potential GM food products with direct or indirect consumer benefits. The report discusses the relationship between opinions of GM food and a variety of factors, including demographics, knowledge of biotechnology, purchasing behaviors and styles of food selection. Finally, it describes Americans’ thoughts on GM food labeling.Suggested Citation:
