SUMOylation, Arc and the regulation homeostatic synaptic scaling: Implications in health and disease (2012)
Journal Article

Neurons compensate for changes in network activity by altering the sensitivity of transmission across collections of synapses by up- or downregulating the number of synaptic AMPA receptors. We recently reported that, in parallel to increasing AMPA re... Read More about SUMOylation, Arc and the regulation homeostatic synaptic scaling: Implications in health and disease.

Brenneria goodwinii sp. nov., associated with acute oak decline in the UK (2012)
Journal Article

A group of nine Gram-negative staining, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strains isolated from native oak trees displaying symptoms of acute oak decline (AOD) in the UK were investigated using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phyl...

Proposal to reclassify Brenneria quercina (Hildebrand and Schroth 1967) Hauben et al. 1999 into a new genus, Lonsdalea gen. nov., as Lonsdalea quercina comb. nov., descriptions of Lonsdalea quercina subsp. quercina comb. nov., Lonsdalea quercina subsp. iberica subsp. nov. and Lonsdalea quercina subsp. britannica subsp. nov. emendation of the description of the genus Brenneria , reclassification of Dickeya dieffenbachiae as Dickeya dadantii subsp. dieffenbachiae comb. nov., and emendation of the description of Dickeya dadantii (2012)
Journal Article

Bacterial isolates from oak trees in Spain and Britain, showing symptoms of bark canker and Acute Oak Decline (AOD), respectively, were examined by a polyphasic approach. Both 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), based on...

Pantoea rodasii sp. nov., Pantoea rwandensis sp. nov. and Pantoea wallisii sp. nov., isolated from Eucalyptus (2012)
Journal Article

Several Gram-negative-staining, facultatively anaerobic bacterial isolates were obtained from Eucalyptus seedlings showing symptoms of bacterial blight and dieback in Colombia, Rwanda and South Africa. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing, together with... Read More about Pantoea rodasii sp. nov., Pantoea rwandensis sp. nov. and Pantoea wallisii sp. nov., isolated from Eucalyptus.

Differential proteomic analysis of human erythroblasts undergoing apoptosis induced by Epo-withdrawal (2012)
Journal Article

The availability of Erythropoietin (Epo) is essential for the survival of erythroid progenitors. Here we study the effects of Epo removal on primary human erythroblasts grown from peripheral blood CD34+ cells. The erythroblasts died rapidly from apop...

Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling Is Regulated by Protein SUMOylation (2012)
Journal Article

Background: SUMOylation regulates many cell pathways.
Results: Synaptic scaling elicited by suppression of neuronal activity decreases the deSUMOylating enzyme SENP1; overexpression of SENP1 prevents synaptic scaling.
Conclusion: SUMOylation is req... Read More about Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling Is Regulated by Protein SUMOylation.

Refined views of multi-protein complexes in the erythrocyte membrane (2012)
Journal Article

The erythrocyte membrane has been extensively studied, both as a model membrane system and to investigate its role in gas exchange and transport. Much is now known about the protein components of the membrane, how they are organised into large multi-... Read More about Refined views of multi-protein complexes in the erythrocyte membrane.

A preliminary study and first report on caffeine degrading bacteria isolated from the soils of Chittoor and Vellore (2012)
Journal Article

An attempt on basic study of the caffeine degrading organism and screening of potential ‘caffeinase’ producing bacteria has been studied and reported. Caffeine is present in soft drinks, coffee plants, tea leaves, and kola nuts and is used extensivel...

Protein SUMOylation in spine structure and function (2011)
Journal Article

The active regulation of spine structure and function is of fundamental importance for information storage in the brain. Many proteins involved in spine development and activity-dependent remodelling are potential or validated substrates for modifica...

Erwinia oleae sp. nov., isolated from olive knots caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi (2011)
Journal Article

Three endophytic bacterial isolates were obtained in Italy from olive knots caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi. Phenotypic tests in combination with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated a phylogenetic position for these isolates in...
