TL;DR: In this article, the strength of the very weak high-resolution Fourier components of the image of a two-dimensional crystal was determined using real space correlation analysis, and the amplitude and phase information was extracted from the distortion-corrected image of the crystal.

TL;DR: The mscL nucleotide sequence predicts a unique protein of only 136 amino acids, with a highly hydrophobic core and very different from porins or other known proteins.
Abstract: All cellular organisms respond to vibration, touch, gravity or changes in osmolarity, although the molecules on which such mechanosensations depend are unknown. Candidates include certain channels that gate in response to membrane stretch. Patch-clamp experiments with Escherichia coli envelope have revealed a mechanosensitive channel with very large conductance (MscL) and one with a smaller conductance (MscS) which may be important in osmoregulation. Here we have solubilized and fractionated the envelope, reconstituted the MscL activity in vitro, and traced it to a small protein, whose gene, mscL, we then cloned. Insertional disruption of mscL removes the channel activity, whereas re-expression of mscL borne on an expression plasmid restores it. MscL-channel activities were observed in material from a cell-free expression system with mscL as the only template. The mscL nucleotide sequence predicts a unique protein of only 136 amino acids, with a highly hydrophobic core and very different from porins or other known proteins.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in addition to cytoplasmic activation and DNA binding of NF-κB, the p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase MAPK pathways act as necessary cooperative mechanisms to regulate TNF-induced IL-6 gene expression by modulating the transactivation machinery.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice have been generated bearing a fusion gene consisting of the mouse metallothionein 1 promoter and a human TGF alpha cDNA that plays an important role in cellular proliferation, organogenesis, and neoplastic transformation.
