1. Antimony resistance in Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis clinical isolates from atypical lesions associates with increased ARM56/ARM58 transcripts and reduced drug uptake
BACKGROUND In addition to the limited therapeutic arsenal and the side effects of antileishmanial agents, drug resistance hinders disease control. In Brazil, Leishmania braziliensis causes atypical (AT) tegumentary leishmaniasis lesions, frequently refractory to treatment. OBJECTIVES The main goal of this study was to characterise antimony (Sb)-resistant

2. Caracterização e possível papel da modulação oxidativa da parede celular em alterações na sensibilidade de células de tabaco cv. BY-2 a pH baixo durante a retomada do ciclo celular / Characterization and possible role of the oxidative modulation of the cell wall in changes in the sensitivity of tobacco BY-2 cells to low pH during restart of the cell cycle
A acidez do solo é um dos principais fatores limitantes à produção vegetal. Apesar da toxicidade por alumínio ter sido extensamente investigada, pouca atenção tem sido dada ao estresse causado pelo baixo pH em si. Existem diferenças marcantes entre células quanto à sensibilidade ao pH baixo que dependem do seu estado de crescimento e desenvolviment

3. Sensing of Osmotic Pressure Changes in Tomato Cells
Cells of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) growing in suspension gradually depleted their culture medium and caused a steady decrease in its osmolality. When confronted with a sudden change in medium osmolality (a hypo-osmotic or hyperosmotic shock), respectively, these cells responded with volume changes and stress symptoms such as rapid extracellular alkali

4. In vivo imaging of C. elegans ASH neurons: cellular response and adaptation to chemical repellents
ASH sensory neurons are required in Caenorhabditis elegans for a wide range of avoidance behaviors in response to chemical repellents, high osmotic solutions and nose touch. The ASH neurons are therefore hypothesized to be polymodal nociceptive neurons. To understand the nature of polymodal sensory response and adaptation at the cellular level, we expressed

5. Rac-Related GTP-Binding Protein in Elicitor-Induced Reactive Oxygen Generation by Suspension-Cultured Soybean Cells1
Plant cells produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to many stimuli. However, the mechanism of ROS biosynthesis remains unclear. We have explored the hypothesis that the superoxide burst in plants mechanistically resembles the oxidative burst in neutrophils. First we have confirmed that ROS production, which occurs in suspension-cultured soybean (G

6. Osmotically induced response in representatives of halophilic prokaryotes: the bacterium Halomonas elongata and the archaeon Haloferax volcanii.
Haloferax volcanii and Halomonas elongata have been selected as representatives of halophilic Archaea and Bacteria, respectively, to analyze the responses to various osmolarities at the protein synthesis level. We have identified a set of high-salt-related proteins (39, 24, 20, and 15.5 kDa in H. elongata; 70, 68, 48, and 16 kDa in H. volcanii) whose synthes

7. The SLT2(MPK1) MAP kinase is activated during periods of polarized cell growth in yeast.
The SLT2(MPK1) mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pa thway has been implicated in several biological processes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including the regulation of cytoskeletal and cell wall structure, polarized cell growth, and response to nutrient availability, hypo-osmotic shock and heat shock. We examined the conditions under which

8. Genomic Expression Programs in the Response of Yeast Cells to Environmental ChangesD⃞
We explored genomic expression patterns in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae responding to diverse environmental transitions. DNA microarrays were used to measure changes in transcript levels over time for almost every yeast gene, as cells responded to temperature shocks, hydrogen peroxide, the superoxide-generating drug menadione, the sulfhydryl-oxidi

9. Effect of non-lytic concentrations of Brij series detergents on the metabolism-independent ion permeability properties of human erythrocytes.
Subcritical micellar concentrations (sub-CMC) of Brij-series detergents alter ion movements between human erythrocytes and their environment when metabolism has been slowed down by incubation at zero degrees centigrade. The effect of nonhemolytic concentrations of detergents on the erythrocyte K+ and Na+ movements is described. Results indicate a significant

10. Sudden substrate dilution induces a higher rate of citric acid production by Aspergillus niger.
On the basis of the present knowledge of Aspergillus niger metabolism during citric acid fermentation, an idea on how to improve the process was formed. Initially, a higher sucrose concentration was used for the germination of spores, which caused a higher intracellular level of the osmoregulator, glycerol, to be present. When citric acid started to be excre

11. Osmotic Stress Signaling and Osmoadaptation in Yeasts
The ability to adapt to altered availability of free water is a fundamental property of living cells. The principles underlying osmoadaptation are well conserved. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model system with which to study the molecular biology and physiology of osmoadaptation. Upon a shift to high osmolarity, yeast cells rapidly stim

12. The Genetics of Levamisole Resistance in the Nematode CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
We have characterized a small group of genes (13 loci) in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that, when mutated, confer resistance to the potent anthelmintic levamisole. Mutants at the 7 loci conferring the most extreme resistance generally possess almost identical visible and pharmacological phenotypes: uncoordinated motor behavior, most severe in early la
