Identification of a Kd-restricted antigenic peptide encoded by murine cytomegalovirus early gene M84
2000
The two sister cytomegaloviruses (CMVs), human and murine CMV, have both evolved immune evasion functions that interfere with the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) pathway of antigen processing and presentation and are effectual in the early (E) phase of virus gene expression. However, studies on murine CMV have shown that E-phase immune evasion is leaky. An E-phase protein involved in immune evasion, namely m04-gp34, was found to simultaneously account for an antigenic peptide presented by the MHC-I molecule Dd. Recent work has demonstrated the induction of protective immunity specific for the E-phase protein M84-p65, one of two murine CMV homologues of the human CMV matrix …
Silent music reading: Amateur musicians' visual processing and descriptive skill
2013
This article addresses the silent reading of music notation, combining eye-movement measures with a semantic analysis of readers’ verbal descriptions of the notated music. A group of musical novices ( n = 16) and two groups of musical amateurs (less experienced n = 11 and more experienced n = 10) participated in three separate measurement sessions during a nine-month-long university music course designed for future primary-school teachers. In each session they viewed a notated folk song for 30 s and then described what they had seen. Greater musical experience was found to be connected with shorter fixation durations, more linear scanning of the notated music, and more accurate and integra…
Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people
2022
Published August 23, 2022 The use of spoken and written language is a fundamental human capacity. Individual differences in reading- and language-related skills are influenced by genetic variation, with twin-based heritability estimates of 30 to 80% depending on the trait. The genetic architecture is complex, heterogeneous, and multifactorial, but investigations of contributions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were thus far underpowered. We present a multicohort genome-wide association study (GWAS) of five traits assessed individually using psychometric measures (word reading, nonword reading, spelling, phoneme awareness, and nonword repetition) in samples of 13,633 to 33,959 part…

Cloning, chromosomal characterization and mapping of the NAD-dependent histone deacetylases gene sirtuin 1
2006
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase, which belongs to the silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) family of sirtuin histone deacetylases (HDACs). The yeast Sir2 protein and its mammalian derivatives play a central role in epigenetic gene silencing, DNA repair and recombination, cell-cycle, microtubule organization, and in the regulation of aging. We have isolated and characterized the human Sirt1 genomic sequence, which spans a region of 33,660 bp and which has one single genomic locus. Determination of the exon-intron splice junctions established that SIRT1 is encoded by 9 exons ranging in size from 80 bp (exon 6) to 2,120 bp (exon 9). Charac…
Molecular Characterization of the Leucine Plasmid from Buchnera aphidicola , Primary Endosymbiont of the Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum
2000
The complete sequence of the leucine plasmid of Buchnera aphidicola from the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (pLeu-BAp) is reported. Its gene organization was concordant with those of other leucine plasmids of Buchnera from aphids of the Aphidini and Macrosiphini tribes. Three inverted repeats are present in pLeu-BAp. Two of them are also present in pLeu from the family Aphididae: (i) SIR1, located downstream the leucine operon, resembles a rho-independent terminator of transcription, and (ii) LIR1, located upstream of the leucine operon, is suggested to be involved in transcription termination or messenger stability. The third, located near the putative ATGC repeats involved in the origin of rep…
Tonoplast intrinsic proteins from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis): immunological analysis, cDNA cloning and evidence for expression …
1998
The vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) of plant cells contains aquaporins, protein channels that facilitate the selective transport of water. These tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) of 23-29 kDa belong to the ancient major intrinsic protein (MIP) family. A monospecific polyclonal antiserum directed against a 26 kDa intrinsic protein from the tonoplast of meristematic cells from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) was used to screen a cDNA library. Two distinct cDNAs have been isolated. Both clones, c26-1 and c26-2, encode closely related TIPs. The c26-1 insert, consisting of 933 bp upstream of the poly(A) tail, is a full-length cDNA with an open reading frame encoding a protein of…
Paplašinātās lasīšanas efektivitāte angļu valodas prasmju pilnveidē 5. klasē
2021
Pēdējo gadu desmitu laikā plašā lasīšana ir guvusi atbalstu un atzinību otrās valodas un svešvalodu apguves pedagoģijā. Daudzi raksti parāda plašās lasīšanas priekšrocības angļu valodas prasmju uzlabošanā. Lai gan plašā lasīšana ir guvusi atzinību tiek praktizēta daudzās valstīs, Latvijā tā joprojām tiek maz izmantota. Šī diplomdarba mērķis ir parādīt plašās lasīšanas priekšrocības un to, cik efektīvi tā var uzlabot izglītojamo svešvalodu prasmi. Plašās lasīšanas pētījums parāda, ka tas ne tikai efektīvi attīsta izglītojamo lasītprasmi, bet arī uzlabo citas valodas prasmes. Šis diplomdarbs galvenokārt koncentrējas uz lasītprasmes un ar to saistīto valodu prasmju uzlabošanu, piemēram, vārdu …

Maģistra darbā tiek pētīta ekstensīvās lasīšanas ietekme uz skolēnu spēju veikt lasīšanas uzdevumus. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek izklāstīts lasīšanas jēdziens; darbā apskatītas pamatskolas skolēnu problēmas lasīšanā, kā arī ekstensīvās lasīšanas loma, tekstu izlases kritēriji un efektīvas lasīšanas stratēģijas. Šī darba mērķis ir palīdzēt vidējā zināšanu līmeņa skolēniem apgūt lasīšanas stratēģijas. Darba praktiskajā daļā sniegts pārskats par pilotpētījumu: eksperimentālā grupa lasīja ekstensīvi un pielietoja praksē lasīšanas stratēģijas.
