", "Linear regression analysis of dose-response relationship between the doses of 2-PMPA and their corresponding threshold values allowed the calculation of threshold increasing dose by 20% (TID20), which was 109.2 mg/kg. ", "Moreover, 2-PMPA administered i.p. ", "at a constant dose of 150 mg/kg (the dose increasing the threshold for electroconvulsions) enhanced significantly the anticonvulsant action of valproate, by reducing its median effective dose (ED50) from 281.4 to 230.1 mg/kg (P<0.05). ", "In contrast, 2-PMPA at the lower dose of 100 mg/kg (i.p.) ", "had no impact on the antiseizure activity of valproate in the maximal electroshock-induced seizure test.

", "Thus the vectors can be used to produce viral vectors for use in expression of nucleic acids, including production of RNA, antisense nucleic acids and polypeptides of interest.", "\n2. ", "Background\nAdenoviruses (Ad) are 36 kb, linear, double-stranded DNA viruses that have been widely used for gene therapy, functional genetics, vaccines, and protein production (1-5). ", "Most adenoviral vectors are based on the Ad type 5 (Ad5) viral backbone in which an expression cassette replaces the El and/or E3 region. ", "Such E1.sup.-, E3.sup.- viruses are attractive vectors because they: i) can accept about 8 kb of exogenous DNA, ii) can be produced at very high titer in E1 complementing cells, and iii) are replication defective. ", "Other attractive features of Ad vectors include infection of a wide range of both dividing and quiescent cell types at high efficiency, expression of genes at very high levels, and association with mild, self-limiting pathologies in humans (1-6). ", "The increasing numbers of genes discovered by the human genome project, and the expanding field of gene therapy are driving a need for more efficient systems to generate recombinant Ad vectors to facilitate rapid, high throughput functional and therapeutic analysis.", "\nBecause of their complex genome, manipulation of Ad vectors to produce recombinant viruses has been difficult. ", "Traditional methods of making recombinant adenoviruses use homologous recombination between two transfected DNAs in adenoviral-producing cell lines (6). ", "The homologous recombination method is inefficient, time-consuming, and subject to contamination with replication-competent virus. ", "Some newer methods of generating recombinant adenoviral vectors in yeast and E. coli have been reported (7-10). ", "These methods shift the homologous recombination step from eukaryotic packaging cells into either yeast or E. coli. ", "These newer methods allow the true cloning of the recombinant viral genome and thereby remove the need for clonal selection via repeated rounds of plaque purification. ", "Although homologous recombination is quite efficient in yeast, it is desirable (because of the faster doubling time and ease of manipulation) to be able to do these steps in E. coli. ", "However, homologous recombination in E. coli is not very efficient. ", "Furthermore, homologous recombination with adenoviral sequences necessitates cloning each gene of interest into a vector that can only be used for adenoviral expression.", "\nA method that has been used to construct recombinant baculoviruses in E. coli by Tn7-mediated site-specific transposition (11) has proven to be very efficient at generating recombinant baculoviruses. ", "However, this system has several limitations.", "\nThe present invention overcomes many limitations on previous systems. ", "Specifically, the present invention provides a Tn7-based transposition system for generating recombinant viruses, such as adenovirus, in E. coli. ", "A low copy E. coli homing plasmid, containing a full length viral genome with lacZattTn7 inserted in a manner that does not interfere with later production of recombinant virus, has been constructed. ", "The inventive system moves all sequences necessary for replication and selection in E. coli outside of the viral genome, allowing application to small animal viruses (Ad, AAV and retroviruses); there is no need for a selectable marker within the transposon allowing additional space for exogenous nucleic acid of interest; it allows construction of a variety of homing vectors for different viruses comprising different promoters such that one transfer vector can be used to express an exogenous DNA from numerous promoters in numerous viruses. ", "Thus the system is very easy, rapid, and efficient, accommodates sizable DNA inserts, and generates truly clonal viruses. ", "The homing vector system is easily adapted to allow subcloning into a single universal transfer vector that can be used to transpose genes into any of several different expression systems, thus facilitating cost-effective subcloning into a variety of vectors, including adenoviral, retroviral, adeno-associated viral, baculoviral and E. coli vectors." ]

[ "1.. INTRODUCTION\n================\n\nIn eukaryotes, the genomic DNA is packed with histone proteins to form structures known as nucleosomes, which in turn form higher-order structures of chromatin. ", "The nucleosomes are evolutionarily well conserved among eukaryotic species \\[[@R1]\\]. ", "Each nucleosome consists of two copies of the core histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, assembled into an octamer by protein-protein interactions and a single linker protein, H1. ", "Almost two turns of DNA (approximately 146--147 bp) are wrapped around the histone octamer \\[[@R2]-[@R4]\\]. ", "The H1 histone as a linking structure stabilizes the octameric core \\[[@R3]\\].", "\n\nThe nucleosome is not only a mean of packaging large amounts of DNA into the nucleus. ", "Nucleosome positioning on the chromatin strand plays a critical role in modulation of gene expression because it regulates accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and chromatin modifying enzymes. ", "It can also repress transcription *in vivo*and *in vitro*\\[[@R5]\\]. ", "Nucleosomal DNA represents a mechanical barrier to multiple protein factors (general transcription factors, sequence-specific DNA-binding activators and non-DNA-binding transcription co-activators (or adaptors) that must be bound to DNA for transcriptional activation. ", "Two different mechanisms contribute to the relief of nucleosomal repression: the use of chromatin remodeling factors and the accomplishment of post-translational modifications of chromatin components, in particular histone acetylation. ", "The amino termini of histones extend from the nucleosomal core and are modified by acetyltransferases and deacetylases during the cell cycle. ", "These acetylation patterns may direct histone assembly and help regulate the unfolding and activity of genes. ", "Gene activity is associated with histone acetylation that plays a major role in maintaining chromatin structure and function \\[[@R6]\\]. ", "The highly acetylated histones are preferentially associated with the active genes, whereas the hypoacetylated histones are responsible for the inactive genes \\[[@R7]-[@R9]\\].", "\n\nThe amino-terminal tails of histones extending from the nucleosomal structure have positively charged lysine (lys+) and arginine (arg+) amino acids \\[[@R10]\\], as the high binding affinity between histones and DNA is based on their opposite charge. ", "The histone tails represent approximately 25-30% of the mass of isolated histones \\[[@R11],[@R12]\\], thus ensuring sufficiently large surface for interactions with regulating factors. ", "The acetyl group (CH3COO-) is negatively charged and therefore neutralizes the positive charge of histones. ", "Consequently, it decreases the total positive charge of histones, reducing their affinity for negatively charged DNA, which facilitates the access of transcription factors to genomic sequence. ", "The \"histone code\" hypothesis suggests that the existence of different chemical modifications of N-terminal histone tails provides binding sites for transcription factors that alter chromatin structure actively or promote transcription \\[[@R13],[@R14]\\].", "\n\nWhat are the effects of histone acetylation on chromatin structure? ", "Lusser *et al.* ", "\\[[@R15]\\] suggest three hypotheses concerning the acetylation-dependent modulation of chromatin structure. ", "First, acetylation introduces negative charge in positive histones by acetyl groups (CH3COO-), neutralizing them. ", "This process destabilizes the nucleosomal core, allowing transcriptional regulators to bind the regulatory promoter regions of DNA. ", "Second, acetylation affects the packing of the chromatin and therefore could alter the accessibility of regulatory proteins to DNA regulatory regions. ", "Third, acetylation is a specific signal that influences histone-protein interactions \\[[@R15]\\].", "\n\nThe basic mechanisms of histone acetylation and histone deacetylation are elucidated by detailed studies on the specialized enzymes-histone acetyltransferases (**HATs**) and histone deacetylases (**HDs**) \\[[@R16]-[@R18]\\].

[ ".223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition are some of the most produced and consumed cartridges in the United States due in large part to the AR-15 category of rifles.

", "For me, the extra cost per round for Federal / Lake City ammo is justified when it comes to having brass that I will reuse (and is desirable to all .223 reloaders).", "\n\nBut, I did have curiosity regarding the performance of other brands of 55gr 5.56 and .223 variants. ", "So I acquired a few boxes of several different 55gr ammunition to do some comparison testing.", "\n\nWhen I chose the ammo to test, it was based on what I thought were the most commonly purchased 55gr M193 clones.", "\n\nThe ammunition in my comparison testing are:\n\nFederal “American Eagle” AE223 55gr .223 Remington\n\nFederal “American Eagle” XM193 55gr 5.56 NATO\n\nIMI M193 55gr 5.56 NATO\n\nIndependence XM193 55gr 5.56 NATO\n\nPMC X-TAC XP193 55gr 5.56 NATO\n\nWinchester Q3131 55gr 5.56 NATO\n\nWolf Gold .223 Remington\n\nYou will probably notice the above list includes two .223 Remington ammunition types.

", "There are several bullet comparator tools out there, but the Hornady bullet comparator tool attaches to the jaw of a caliper for quick and easy measuring off of the ogive.", "\n\nThe importance of the ogive of a bullet is that this is generally where the bullet initially makes contact with the bore as it begins traveling from the chamber. ", "In some schools of thought, it is believed that a bullet is more accurate if it has to ‘jump’ less of a distance before it makes contact with the rifling. ", "So a shorter base to ogive could theoretically be worse. ", "Of course, there is a level of safety here in that you don’t want too long of a base to ogive measurement otherwise the bullet is jammed into the rifling before it is fired, which could result in an adverse pressure spike.", "\n\nI measured the base to ogive length of samples of the ammunition tested simply for data collection. ", "There is no stressed importance of these values, especially since light bullets in a 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington chamber will have a good amount of jump due to the freebore of the chamber.", "\n\nIf you handload your own rifle ammo, I highly recommend the Hornady Bullet Comparator tool (or any other bullet comparator tool).

", "Each\nfall/start winter they leave their water habitat to find somewhere to\nhibernate, and they often end in one of our doors, so I have to be careful when\nopening/ closing that door, and if there is a salamander I take it in my hand\nand carry it to a better place to hide. ", "Their bellies are orange and more or\nless spotted, they are really beautiful and striking in color. ", "Some barely have\nany spots, some have a lot, and some only have spots coming in from the side,\nso they are really quite unique :)\n\nSo the\nbase color is Glitter Gal Lizard Belly and with my striper brush I painted the\nmiddle part of each nail orange, using acrylic color, and when dry I added a\nlayer of Essie As Gold As It Gets over the orange for a little glam. ", "When that\nwas dry I added the spots of Lizard Belly with a dotting tool and, and finally\nI top coated.", "\n\nI don’t\nthink any other nail blogger has been crazy enough to put salamander bellies on\ntheir nails.

[ "Cocaine use may not make you a better dad, but it may make your son a bit more resistant to addiction, says a new study conducted on rats.", "\n\nCompared with the pups of rats who got no cocaine, the male offspring of rats that were allowed to self-administer cocaine for two months behaved very differently under the influence of the drug. ", "When they got repeated doses of cocaine, rats sired by undrugged fathers responded with an escalating frenzy of movement - in rats, a sign of incipient addiction. ", "The male offspring of fathers who went on a two-month cocaine bender did not show the same increase in motor activity - an indication they were more resistant to the drug’s rewarding effects.", "\n\nThe young rats’ brains told a similar story. ", "In pups born to fathers who were cocaine virgins, the nucleus accumbens - a region that is key to reward-seeking and addictive behaviors - responded quite differently, depending on whether a pup’s father was a cocaine user. ", "A father’s cocaine-taking history determined whether specialized neuroreceptors in the nucleus accumbens passed on an electrical current or did not, making addiction either more or less likely.", "\n\nThe research, presented in San Diego on Monday at the Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting, may seem like an invitation to would-be fathers to self-medicate at will, secure in the belief their behavior will not harm their eventual offspring. ", "But the study’s findings more likely support a very different conclusion: that even when self-destructive behavior doesn’t actually alter genetic material, one generation’s choices can profoundly - and unpredictably - influence the cerebral (and other) function of subsequent generations.", "\n\n\nThey do so, the researchers showed, not by the dramatic act of altering genes, but by altering the cascade of chemical signals that turn genes on and off - a process called epigenetics. ", "And because different genes have diverse ways of influencing the production of proteins, and behave differently depending on where in the body they are operating, changing the “on-off” switches on them can have a panoply of unanticipated results.", "\n\nIt’s part of a growing science of how nurture - the circumstances in which we live and the behavior we engage in - can actually reprogram nature - the genetic blueprints that once seemed cast in stone.", "\n\nIn this case, the male babies of cocaine-addled fathers may be more impervious to cocaine addiction. ", "But sometimes, when motivation or reward-seeking drives are dialed down, the result is a propensity to depression. ", "And since the rats’ robust response to an addictive drug is a good measure of the brain’s plasticity, or ability to learn and adapt, a tepid reaction may signal other cognitive troubles ahead.", "\n\nSometimes, epigenetic processes are even subtler, not so much turning genes on and off but allowing some genes to be expressed more or less often. ", "A study of long-term heroin users’ post-mortem brains, presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting Sunday, showed that opiate addiction had altered the way the DNA programmed the production of proteins in the brain’s striatum - again, a part of the organ’s addiction circuitry.", "\n\n\nOther research presented at the Society for Neuroscience - including a talk by Nobel laureate and memory pioneer Eric Kandel - demonstrated that epigenetic processes are central to the production and storage of long-term memories. ", "That research may help explain how a previous generation’s behavior or environmental exposures might increase the rate of developmental and cognitive disorders - including autism and intellectual disabilities - in the next generation.", "\n\n“DNA may shape who we are, but we also shape our own DNA,” said Schahram Akbarian of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York in introducing the studies presented to neuroscientists gathered in San Diego. “", "These findings show how experience or drug exposure change the way that genes are expressed, and could be incredibly important in developing treatments for addiction and for understanding processed like memory.”" ]
