The genome DNA of Escherichia coli is associated with about 10 DNA-binding structural
proteins, altogether forming the nucleoid. The nucleoid proteins play some functional roles …

The papillomavirus E2 protein tethers viral genomes to host mitotic chromosomes to ensure
genome maintenance. We have identified the bromodomain protein Brd4 as a major cellular …

The wobble bases of bacterial tRNAs responsible for NNR codons are modified to 5-
methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm 5 s 2 U). 2-thio modification of mnm 5 s 2 U is …

Two independent mutants of Escherichia coli lacking murein-lipoprotein have been found.
One mutant whose mutation was named lpo was subjected to detailed analyses. The …

The papillomavirus E2 gene product plays a pivotal role in viral replication. E2 has multiple
functions, including (i) transcriptional activation and repression of viral promoters and (ii) the …

This study investigated risk factors of depression in fathers at 4 weeks post‐partum using a
cross‐sectional design. Mothers were recruited at the 4 week postnatal health check …

Background A negative effect of paternal depression on child development has been
revealed in several previous studies. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence …

The life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is tightly coupled to the differentiation
program of their host epithelial cells. HPV E4 gene expression is first observed in the …

To cope with environmental high osmolarity, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Hog1, which controls an array of …

Cultures of Escherichia coli could be separated into more than 15 cell populations, each
forming a discrete band after Percoll gradient centrifugation. The cell separation was found …
