Walleye dermal sarcoma virus Orf C: a potential oncolytic therapy
… encodes three accessory proteins (rv-cyclin, Orf B, and Orf C) that are necessary for regulation of virus expression, tumor formation, and tumor regression. While rv-cyclin and B are critical for tumor development, Orf C contributes to the observed seasonal tumor regression. Previous studies …

Characterization of novel immunomodulatory proteins encoded by parapoxvirus ORF virus
Orf or contagious ecthyma is a ubiquitous disease of sheep and goats caused by the parapoxvirus (PPV) orf virus (ORFV). The disease is characterized by focal lesions in the mucocutaneous transitions of the mouth that progress from maculae to papulae, pustules and scabs, and usually resolve in 6-8 …

Development and Characterization of A Recombinant Orf Virus Vector Expressing the Spike Protein of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus
<p>Orf virus (ORFV), the type member of the genus <em>Parapoxvirus</em> of the family <em>Poxviridae</em>, causes orf or cutaneous pustular dermatitis in sheep and goats. ORFV is a ubiquitous virus capable of re-infecting its hosts multiple times over time. ORFV causes a non-systemic, self-limiting …

Magnesium regulates transcription of the mgtA (magnesium transporter) gene in Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium via prolyl-bond formation during translation of the mgtL leader ORF
… 5’ leader that contains a 17 codon, proline-rich ORF, termed <em>mgtL,</em> whose translation has been proposed to affect the folding of the 5’ leader mRNA, which in turn regulates whether transcription is terminated before the <em>mgtA</em> structural gene at high Mg2+ concentrations, or is …

Sex-Associated Mitochondrial Genes: Tools for Understanding Unionid Reproduction and Development
… possess different open reading frames (M-ORF or F-ORF respectively). Previous studies suggested that two types of sperm might exist, each carrying one or the other mitochondrial haplotype, and it was hypothesized that the presence of either F-mt or M-mt in sperm may be involved in …

Isolation and partial characterization of a water stress protein of the desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc commune UTEX 584 expressed in Escherichia coli
… protein. The cloned fragment comprised five ORF’s. The ORF’s 59, 24, 22, 36, and 70, each potentially encode products of molecular weights of 59, 24, 22, 36, and 70-kDa, respectively. The 59 and 24 ORF products were found to be expressed in <i>E. coli</i>. The 59-kDa product of this fragment …

Effectiveness of peer-assisted learning strategies on oral reading fluency for students with a learning disability
… method for improving oral reading fluency (ORF) of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in familiar text, and whether the ORF skills acquired will generalize to unfamiliar text. Four elementary-aged students with SLD participated in the study. A multiple probe design across …

Identification and molecular characterisation of a putative gene for cell detaching factor from Trichomonas vaginalis.
… CDF. This clone contained an open reading frame (ORF) that was believed to represent a partial coding sequence for CDF. A genome walk initiated from CDF-2 using Rapid Amplification of Genomic DNA Ends (RAGE) identified a contiguous 6.5 kb ORF Northern analysis, which identified a 6.5--7 kb …

Evaluation of Ocular Pulse Amplitude-related Parameters measured by Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Ocular Blood Flow Analyzer
… to evaluate ocular rigidity-related factor (ORF) derived from ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) measurements with regard to the severity of glaucoma. This study was conducted in 31 eyes of 31 normal and 38 eyes of 38 normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients with cross-sectional and retrospective …

An Investigation of the Predictive Validity of Kindergarten Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) to the Third Grade Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA)
… DIBELS third grade Spring Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) was also investigated. Participants were 341 students in two cohorts attending a school district in Southeastern Pennsylvania. For Cohort 1 (<em>N </em>= 163), DIBELS data were collected only during kindergarten, whereas for Cohort 2 (<em>N …

Expression And Characterization Of Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis 19kda With Posttranslational Modification
… The objective of this study is to identify the ORF sequence, investigate possible posttranslational modification and characterize the protein forms in the two hosts. Earlier in the study, the genome sequence for M. paratuberculosis was not available and therefore sequencing both the 5' and 3' …

Cross-validation of new oral reading fluency criteria based on empirical data from Icelandic elmentary students
… elementary students’ oral reading fluency (ORF), and to compare the new criteria to the present goal-oriented criteria (GOC). The new criteria were empirical based criteria (EBC). Data were provided by The Directorate of Education in Iceland. The data consisted of scores from reading fluency …

Molecular and evolutionary analysis of a gene conserved in most Orthopoxviruses
… from a common ancestor. An open reading frame (ORF), potentially coding for a protein of 341 amino acid residues, was found to be conserved in two strains of variola virus (Harvey and Somalia), but degenerate in the Denmark strain of monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus had a deletion of 391 bp, two …

Characterisation of open reading frames m29 and m29.1 in murine cytomegalovirus
… Of the predicted 170 MCMV open reading frames (ORFs) only 78 have significant amino acid identity with genes in HCMV. To better understand the biological mechanisms underlying the differences between the viruses, for example their species specificity and immune evasion genes, MCMV unique ORFs …
