Drosophila melanogaster histone H2B retropseudogene is inserted into a region rich in transposable elements.
1998
We have isolated and characterized the genomic sequence of a Drosophila melanogaster histone H2B pseudogene that is localized outside of the cluster of the replication-dependent histone genes and has all the properties of a retropseudogene. It is highly homologous to the transcribed region of the D. melanogaster histone H2B gene, but not to its flanking regions, and is surrounded by short direct repeats. The pseudogene contains several point mutations that preclude its translation. The sequence of the 3' region of this pseudogene is compatible with the hypothesis that the 3' terminal stem-loop structure of the histone H2B mRNA has served as a primer for the reverse transcription event from …
A primera sang: batalles nupcials en la Catalunya barroca. Els epitalamis al galant Alba de Francesc Fontanella
2017
Resum: A l’antiga Grecia i Roma els epitalamis actuaven com a preludi erotic de la nit nupcial. Claudia, a l’antiguitat tardana, va tractar el motiu del desflorament com a pugna amoris amb lasciu refinament. A partir del Quattrocento italia, l’Europa moderna va reprendre amb profusio aquesta tradicio laudatoria d’erotisme estilitzat amb cants consagrats a la unio de les families il·lustres. El poeta barroc Francesc Fontanella (1622-1682/83) va compondre quatre magnifics epitalamis dedicats a les noces d’un enigmatic personatge: el ‘galant Alba’. Diversos estudis han intentat, sense exit, desvelar-ne la identitat. En aquestes composicions, Fontanella va emprar un llenguatge refinat i metafor…
ENTREACTO / ENTR?ACTE Un film / A Film Chopin y los Sand, amor a cuatro bandas. Aproximación a la esfera privada de Fryderyk Chopin a partir de la pe…
2021
Two centuries later, the legend Chopin-Sand continues to supply the collective imaginary with vague readings, where historical truthfulness, let alone musical truth, is often contingent on the literary. The much discussed and bellicose romance between the Polish composer and the French novelist, George Sand, tends to some reductionism and evades an obvious reality: Fryderyk Chopin meets George Sand when she was already the mother of two children. This circumstance suggests reformulating certain romantic stereotypes. Jerzy Antczak?s biographical film Pragnienie Mi?o?ci (Chopin: Desire for Love, 2002) does not overlook this detail and makes it one of its narrative axes. The relationship betwe…
English language learning: an applied reading experiment in USA
2014
El proyecto se centra en el estudio de la viabilidad de la importación, a las escuelas de primaria españolas, de las técnicas de aprendizaje de L2 conocidas como lectura guiada, las cuales son muy comunes en las escuelas primarias estadounidenses que implementen programas de educación bilingüe. Al mismo tiempo, se estudia la posibilidad de renovar dichas técnicas de aprendizaje mediante la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías, las cuales podrían aportar nuevos escenarios educativos de acuerdo con la modernidad de nuestro presente. El motivo por el cual se plantean dichas hipótesis reside en mi experiencia trabajando como profesor bilingüe en escuelas primarias estadounidenses entre 2005 y 20…
Estudio sobre la lectura a primera vista en el piano en los Conservatorios Profesionales de Música de la Comunidad Valenciana
2019
La lectura a primera vista es una habilidad indispensable para los músicos, por lo que forma parte de numerosos procesos de selección tanto de estudiantes como profesionales. Sin embargo, es una tarea compleja en la que se ven envueltos procesos cognitivos de diferente índole: percepción visual, imagen auditiva y ejecución motora. El objetivo general de este estudio es conocer el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la lectura a primera vista en los Conservatorios Profesionales de Música de la Comunidad Valenciana, con fines de mejora educativa. La metodología utilizada es de naturaleza tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa, y se ha llevado a cabo a través de una revisión bibliográfica, un aná…
Characterization of a new member of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus hsp70 gene family and its expression
1992
We have sequenced a second gene of the hsp70 family derived from a genomic clone of the sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus. The structure of this gene, named hsp70IV gene, is interrupted by one intron and differs from the previously analyzed sea urchin hsp70II gene, which contains several introns. Two open reading frames of hsp70IV gene encode a predicted protein of 639 amino acids with an M(r) of 69,672. The 5' flanking region of the gene contains a putative TATA element, three heat-shock elements made up of some arrays of the 5-bp units, NGAAN and NTTCN (N = A,C,G or T), a canonic consensus sequence for binding of the regulatory activating transcription factor (ATF), and a purine box. The …
Nucleotide sequence of a ssRNA phage from Acinetobacter: kinship to coliphages.
2002
The complete nucleotide sequence of ssRNA phage AP205 propagating in Acinetobacter species is reported. The RNA has three large ORFs, which code for the following homologues of the RNA coliphage proteins: the maturation, coat and replicase proteins. Their gene order is the same as that in coliphages. RNA coliphages or Leviviridae fall into two genera: the alloleviviruses, like Qβ, which have a coat read-through protein, and the leviviruses, like MS2, which do not have this coat protein extension. AP205 has no read-through protein and may therefore be classified as a levivirus. A major digression from the known leviviruses is the apparent absence of a lysis gene in AP205 at the usual positio…
A sequence element downstream of the yeast HTB1 gene contributes to mRNA 3' processing and cell cycle regulation.
2002
Histone mRNAs accumulate in the S phase and are rapidly degraded as cells progress into the G(2) phase of the cell cycle. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fusion of the 3' untranslated region and downstream sequences of the yeast histone gene HTB1 to a neomycin phosphotransferase open reading frame is sufficient to confer cell cycle regulation on the resulting chimera gene (neo-HTB1). We have identified a sequence element, designated the distal downstream element (DDE), that influences both the 3'-end cleavage site selection and the cell cycle regulation of the neo-HTB1 mRNA. Mutations in the DDE, which is located approximately 110 nucleotides downstream of the HTB1 gene, lead to a delay in the…
Life of a Fatso : Young, Fat and Vulnerable in a Scandinavian Society of Perfection
2020
This chapter offers a close reading of the young adult novel Miss by Synne Sun Loes (2017). The story is about 16-year-old Ea who is at the point of dropping out of school. The title carries a double reference—on the one hand, to Ea’s feeling of being a mis(s)fit and, on the other hand, to her critique of her best friend turning into a ‘Little Miss Perfect’. The analysis discusses two main questions: What has made this teenager from a well-off family so vulnerable? and How is her resistance expressed? The analysis explores how Ea positions herself as an outsider through bodily and social protest, making her both vulnerable and strong, and discusses this in relation to Judith Butler’s (2016)…
New Literacy for Reading Using ICT
2014
This article will analyse the key strategies in the relationship between reading and writing in the area of ICT and the resulting importance in supporting literacy in this area so that the education system as a whole (primary and secondary schools and universities) can be guided to make full use of the opportunities ICT can provide. ICTs are able to help improve overall comprehension, evaluate general perspectives and raise awareness of the value of cooperation and, as a result, the essential quality of individuals and their contributions. These contributions are far-reaching and strategic. The benefits of applying ICT in reading and writing are also felt in oral expression and can result i…
