Functional roles of the membrane-associated AAV protein MAAP

2021

AbstractWith a limited coding capacity of 4.7 kb, adeno-associated virus (AAV) genome has evolved over-lapping genes to maximise the usage of its genome. An example is the recently found ORF in the cap gene, encoding membrane-associated accessory protein (MAAP), located in the same genomic region as the VP1/2 unique domain, but in a different reading frame. This 13 KDa protein, unique to the dependovirus genus, is not homologous to any known protein. Our studies confirm that MAAP translation initiates from the first CTG codon found in the VP1 ORF2. We have further observed MAAP localised in the plasma membrane, in the membranous structures in close proximity to the nucleus and to the nuclea…

The use of sea waves for generation of electrical energy: a linear tubular asynchronous electrical generator

2007

A linear tubular asynchronous generator to be used as generator driven by seawave is presented. The design criteria of a TLIM with hollowed iron induced part as well as the technological processes to be adopted and the materials utilized in the various parts are described. The methodologies for mechanical assembling and electric wiring are considered too. Finally, the prototype with bimetallic induced part that has been designed and built is presented and some experimental results on electrical and mechanical variables are shown.

Cholesterol Starvation and Hypoxia Activate the FVII Gene via the SREBP1-GILZ Pathway in Ovarian Cancer Cells to Produce Procoagulant Microvesicles

2019

AbstractInteraction between the transcription factors, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1α and HIF2α) and Sp1, mediates hypoxia-driven expression of FVII gene encoding coagulation factor VII (fVII) in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cells. This mechanism is synergistically enhanced in response to serum starvation, a condition possibly associated with tumor hypoxia. This transcriptional response potentially results in venous thromboembolism, a common complication in cancer patients by producing procoagulant extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, which deficient serum factors are responsible for this characteristic transcriptional mechanism is unknown. Here, we report that cholesterol deficien…

Organic Salts as Tectons for Self-assembly Processes in Solution

2022

The literature, covering the last decade, about the self-assembly processes of organic salts in conventional solvents was analyzed. In particular, data reported about imidazolium and ammonium salts have been considered. The analysis shows that these processes are highly determined by structural features of the salts. Indeed, besides the nature of the cationic head, features of the alkyl chain borne on the cation structure and its possible functionalization, as well as the nature of the anion play a pivotal role. These factors determine not only the nature of the solvent in which the process occurs but also the nature of the self-assembly mechanism. Consequently, the structure tunability of …

Palermo si cura. Pratiche culturali di mutuo soccorso come risposta alle fragilità della città (post)pandemica

2023

In un quadro di riferimento in cui la crisi è globalizzata ma diseguale e in mancanza di un sistema di welfare capace di rispondere alle urgenze dei contesti e dei gruppi sociali più marginalizzati, una risposta ai nuovi bisogni sociali ed individuali è stata offerta da reti solidali e da pratiche di mobilitazione dal basso che svolgono un ruolo di agency territoriale, spesso indipendentemente o in assenza di Istituzioni. Nel contesto palermitano un impegno agito da una pluralità di soggetti culturali già attivi sul territorio, riuniti in un’assemblea pubblica (Palermo si cura), durante il periodo del primo lockdown hanno dato vita ad azioni di mutuo soccorso per rispondere all’emergenza ec…

Settore ICAR/21 - UrbanisticaIn a framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized contexts and social groups a response to the new social and individual needs has been offered by networks of solidarity and from bottom-up mobilization practices that play a role of territorial agency often independently or in the absence of institutions. In the Palermo context a commitment made by a plurality of cultural subjects already active in the area gathered in a public assembly (Palermo si cura) during the period of the first lockdown gave rise to mutual aid actions to respond to the economic emergency and social and offer a proposal to cure the fragility of the city based not on charity but on the claim of a political dimension of collective action. Starting from the analysis of initiatives such as "Un sorriso per Ballarò" and "Abbiamo un (bi)sogno" the contribution analyzes the role the incidence and the fragility of these experiences in providing answers - often filling gaps - to a general interest and how these processes of value creation can hopefully contribute to the construction of local government policies capable of addressing emerging issues.

Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. Il giurista, l’avvocato, lo statista

2018

Vittorio Emanuele Orlando is one of the defining figures of the history of Italy. Lawyer, jurist and statesman, he founded the Italian School of Public Law and worked out an original version of the “Rechtsstaat”. He led Italy to victory during the First World War, took then an official stance against the Fascism and played a significant role in the republican constituent process. The article suggests a coherent interpretation of the several aspects of his personality and provides an extensive bibliography

Visions and Forms of Democratic Participation in Italian Universities after 1968

2022

The essay focuses on the ideological aspects and organizational dynamics underlying the 1968 protests in Italian universities. It analyses the inter-generational confrontation within the parties and in the wider public sphere in order to explain the new assembly-based organization in the Italian university. Young people in many countries demanded new spaces for a more direct political action; in Italy this would foster a change in the university representatives and parliamentary bodies which had so far mediated student participation. The UNURI (Italian University’s National Representative Union), founded in 1948, would suffer a crisis in 1968 precisely on the thrust of requests from youth i…

Efficient DNA Packaging of Bacteriophage PRD1 Requires the Unique Vertex Protein P6

2007

ABSTRACT The assembly of bacteriophage PRD1 proceeds via formation of empty procapsids containing an internal lipid membrane, into which the linear double-stranded DNA genome is subsequently packaged. The packaging ATPase P9 and other putative packaging proteins have been shown to be located at a unique vertex of the PRD1 capsid. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of a suppressor-sensitive PRD1 mutant deficient in the unique vertex protein P6. Protein P6 was found to be an essential part of the PRD1 packaging machinery; its absence leads to greatly reduced packaging efficiency. Lack of P6 was not found to affect particle assembly, because in the P6-deficient mutant infecti…
