- Alanine-scanning mutagenesis of HM-1 killer toxin and the essential residues for killing activity. Each of the aromatic, acidic and basic amino acid residues in HM-1 were separately substituted with alanine by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant genes...

- Bayesian approaches to reverse engineer cellular systems: a simulation study on nonlinear Gaussian networks. BACKGROUND: Reverse engineering cellular networks is currently one of the most challenging problems in systems biology. Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs) seem...

- Controlled formation of volatile components in cider making using a combination of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora valbyensis yeast species. The effect of pure and mixed fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora valbyensis on the formation of major volatile components in cider was...

- Expanding the mitochondrial interactome. The integration of information on different aspects of the composition and function of mitochondria is defining a more comprehensive mitochondrial...

- Global replication-independent histone H4 exchange in budding yeast. The eukaryotic genome is packaged together with histone proteins into chromatin following DNA replication. Recent studies have shown that histones can also...

- Negative regulation of yeast Eps15-like Arp2/3 complex activator, Pan1p, by the Hip1R-related protein, Sla2p, during endocytosis. Control of actin assembly nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex plays a crucial role during budding yeast endocytosis. The yeast Eps15-related Arp2/3 complex...

- The cortical protein Num1p is essential for dynein-dependent interactions of microtubules with the cortex. In budding yeast, the mitotic spindle moves into the neck between the mother and bud via dynein-dependent sliding of cytoplasmic microtubules along the...

- The induction of cyanide-resistant respiration in Hansenula anomala. Cyanide-resistant respiration was induced in the yeast, Hansenula anomala in the presence of cyanide or antimycin A, which blocks the electron transport...

- [Hybridization and recombination in the yeasts Pichia alni, P. bimundalis, P. finlandica, P. glucozyma, P. henricii, P. hostii, P. minuta var. nonfermentans, P. muscicola] A collection of genetic lines in 8 reproductively isolated Pichia species has been created. The above data have permitted realizing intraspecific...
