basal levels of GCs permitting other facets of the stress response to emerge efficaciously, and/or by stress levels of GCs actively stimulating the stress response. In con-trast, a revisionist viewpoint posits that GCs suppress the stress response, preventing it from being pathologically overactivated

-ATP binding cassette (ABC) protein but it has two ATP-binding sites and shows basal ATPase activity which is stimulated

One of the most active areas of research in artificial intelligence is the study of learning methods by which “embedded agents ” can improve performance while acting in complex dynamic environments. An agent, or decision maker, is embedded in an environment when it receives information from

Biochemical and cytochemical techniques were used to determine whether oviduct basal bodies have ATPase activity. All studies were carried out on basal bodies isolated and purified from the chicken oviduct. These preparations contained structurally intact basal bodies with basal feet, rootlet

provides the first report of the production of folded and soluble recombinant mortalin when co-expressed with the human Hsp70-escort protein 1, but it is still likely prone to self-association. The monomeric fraction of mortalin presented a slightly elongated shape and basal ATPase activity that is higher

exhibits robust active maintenance, while the basal ganglia contribute a selective, dynamic gating function that enables frontal memory representations to be rapidly updated in a task-relevant manner. We apply the model to a novel version of the continuous performance task (CPT) that requires subroutine

, 350-355]. The basal ATPase activity of Rep protein is stimulated by ss DNA binding and by protein dimerization. We have measured the steady-state ATPase activities of Rep bound to dT(pT)15 in each distinct ss DNA ligation state (PS, P2S, and P2S2) to compare with our previous measurements

. The basal ATPase activity of 4-6 pi moles Pj/hour mg"1 protein, measured in 120 ml! NaCl or KC1, was approximately doubled in 100 mM NaCl plus 20 mM KC1. This increment, the Na, K-ATPase, was abolished by 10~5M ouabain, the K, for ouabain being approximately 3 x 10 " 7M. /-Epinephrine had

-based overexpression system. Recombinant SyClpC showed basal ATPase activity, similar to that of other types of HSP100 protein in non-photosynthetic organisms but different to ClpC in Bacillus subtilis. SyClpC also displayed distinct intrinsic chaperone activity in vitro, first by preventing aggregation of unfolded

mutagenesis analyses of NSF N-D1 linker, dissecting its role in the SNARE disassembly, the SNARE/a-SNAP complex binding, the basal ATPase activity and the SNARE/a-SNAP stimulated ATPase activity. Our results show that the N-terminal region of the N-D1 linker associated mutants cause severe defect in SNARE
