Characterization of an nf-actin gene in the pathogenic Naegleria fowleri
… by food-cups (amoebastomes). Phagocytosis is an actin-dependent process that includes polymerization of monomeric G-actin into filamentous F-actin. Despite the numerous studies concerning with phagocytosis, the detailed role of actin in the N. fowleri food-cup formation has been poorly reported. …

Comparative analysis of the promoters of the CyI-CyIIa-CyIIb actin gene cluster in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
Three of the eight actin genes in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus were used for a comparative analysis. The cytoplasmic actin genes CyI, CyIIb and CyIIa are linked in the genome and encode very similar proteins. However, their spatial and temporal expression patterns are differentially …

Transcriptional Regulation of the BOMBYX MORI A3 Cytoplasmic Actin Promoter in Insect and Mammalian Cells
… the activity of the silkworm A3 cytoplasmic actin promoter in homologous insect and heterologous mammalian expression systems. To study the expression of the A3 actin promoter in insect cells we have isolated and characterized a stably transformed Bombyx mori cell line containing a novel …

Expression levels of non-autonomous retrotransposons in germ-line rodent tissues
… level of germ-line transcription of SINE “master genes” is a primary factor in their successful mobility and vertical transmission. RT-PCR and qPCR results suggested higher expression of both SINE and LINE elements in germ-line tissues over somatic. Additionally, the qPCR findings demonstrated …

An Assessment of the Molecular Basis of Toxin-induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy in an Avian Animal Model
… including those that are unknown or idiopathic, genetic factor is a major cause of idiopathic DCM. In this study, I assessed the molecular basis of toxin-induced DCM in turkeys by evaluating the association and effect of mutations in candidate genes in the nucleus and mitochondria on the …

Cloning of actin genes from a genomic library of the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens
The regenerating urodele limb is a useful model system in which to study, in vivo, the controls of cell proliferation and differentiation. Techniques are available which enable one to experimentally manipulate mitogenic influences upon the blastema, as well the morphogenesis of the regenerating …

The effect of Septoria brown spot on soybean yield and phyllosphere microbiome
… S. glycines. The assay designed with the actin gene (Ac) was specific to S. glycines for both conventional PCR and qPCR. The assay designed with the β-tubulin (Bt) gene was specific to S. glycines only on the qPCR. Both Ac and Bt assays had high qPCR reaction efficiency (95% and 98%) and …
