(4) In consequence both cases were treated as outpatients by physical compression (Nard's method), without any anticoagulant medication : the results were striking and lasting.
(5) It is proposed that molecular oxygen controls the expression of nar via Fnr and that the nard mutation affects the Fnr binding site of the narGHI control region.
(6) The authors looked back at the original publications, that is to say to the publications of Chalier and of Nard, who described methods, which have been much referred to, that were quite exacting.
(7) The synergic effect of walking is definitively established; the treatment of deep-set phlebites by ambulatory compression is discovered by H. Fischer in Germany and then in France by L. Nard.
(8) The nard mutation, located upstream of the nar structural genes, was found to be cis dominant; it led to independence from the Fnr protein which, in the wild-type strain, exerts a strict positive control on the nar operon.
Pard
Definition:
(n.) A leopard; a panther.
Example Sentences:
(1) Comparison of wild type and the mutant parD promoter sequences indicated that three short repeats are likely involved in the negative regulation of this promoter.
(2) In contrast to CcdB, the Kid protein of the ParD system induces RecA-dependent cleavage of the cI repressor of bacteriophage lambda very inefficiently or not at all.
(3) The rate of admissions to psychiatric hospitals of patients with primary alcohol-related diagnoses (PARD) has increased from 1971 to 1983 and they now account for 19.7% of all admissions.
(4) Since the parDE operon requires the presence of the parCBA operon for efficient stabilization under certain growth conditions, the potential role of multimer resolution in plasmid stabilization was tested by substituting the ColE1 cer site for the parCBA operon.
(5) The system, which we have called ParD, maps inside the 1.45-kb PstI-EcoRI fragment that is adjacent to the origin of replication of the plasmid.
(6) And then I read another article recently that I am coming and watch over your shoulder Pards.
(7) Both of these promoters are repressed by their own gene products in the same manner in all three bacteria tested, with ParA functioning as the primary repressor of p-parCBA and ParD functioning as the repressor of p-parD.
(8) The ParD protein appears to bind to one inverted repeat sequence, located between the -35 and -10 boxes of p-parD.
(9) In vitro mutagenesis with hydroxylamine of a ParD- miniderivative of R1, pAB174, yielded mutants that were less stable in the cell than pAB174.
(10) The deletion analysis further allowed a redefinition of the minimal functional region as 790 bp in length, consisting of the parD gene (243 bp) and its promoter as well as sequences downstream of parD.
(11) When I speak with Pards tomorrow he may see some other position that he wants to look better of or get a better player for that area.
(12) Determination of the 5' ends of ParD transcripts, revealed that the genes coding for these proteins are transcribed from a single promoter.
(13) While the cer site did function to resolve plasmid multimers, it was not sufficient to restore stabilization activity to the parDE operon under growth conditions that require the parCBA operon for plasmid stability.
(14) The phenotype of a recently-described mutant (OV6), conditionally defective in chromosome partitioning and septal positioning, was originally thought to be due to a new gene (parD) mapping at 88.4 min.
(15) Transcriptional fusions were used to show that parA, parB, and parC are combined in an operon, while parD constitutes a separate transcription unit.
(16) The stability determined by the systems ParD of plasmid R1 and Ccd of plasmid F is due to the concerted action of two proteins, a cytotoxin and an antagonist of this function.
(17) In this paper we report that CcdA and Kis proteins, the antagonists of the Ccd and ParD systems respectively, share significant sequence homologies at both ends.
(18) The proteins P10 and P12 have been shown to be gene products of a new stability system, ParD, of plasmid R1.
(19) We have now shown that, in addition to the parD mutation, OV6 carries a gyrAam mutation and that this mutation is probably responsible for the gross phenotype of the mutant.
(20) Two divergently arranged promoters located in the intercistronic region between parC and parD mediate transcription of these genes.
