Tráfico intracelular de proteínas de la familia p24 en células vegetales

2014

Las proteínas p24 constituyen una familia única de proteínas transmembrana de tipo I, con un peso molecular aproximado de 24 kDa, que se localizan mayoritariamente en los compartimentos de la vía secretora temprana, retículo endoplásmico (ER) y complejo de Golgi, y son componentes mayoritarios de las vesículas recubiertas por proteínas COPI o COPII. Se dividen, por homología de secuencia, en cuatro subfamilias: p24α, p24β, p24δ y p24γ. En animales y levaduras hay representantes de cada una de las 4 subfamilias; sin embargo, las plantas solo tienen miembros de la subfamilia p24β y p24δ. En Arabidopsis existen 9 miembros de la subfamilia p24δ (p24δ3-p24δ11) y 2 de la subfamilia p24β (p24β2 y …

A Deep Insight into Different Acidic Additives as Doping Agents for Enhancing Proton Conductivity on Polybenzimidazole Membranes

2020

[EN] The use of phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes for fuel cell applications has been extensively studied in the past decades. In this article, we present a systematic study of the physicochemical properties and proton conductivity of PBI membranes doped with the commonly used phosphoric acid at different concentrations (0.1, 1, and 14 M), and with other alternative acids such as phytic acid (0.075 M) and phosphotungstic acid (HPW, 0.1 M). The use of these three acids was reflected in the formation of channels in the polymeric network as observed by cross-section SEM images. The acid doping enhanced proton conductivity of PBI membranes and, after doping, these conducti…

Conflicts over the provision and payment of wages of the "pavordías" of the University of Valencia during the second half of the seventeenth century

2002

Este artículo analiza las causas que influyeron en la dificultad de dotar las pavordías de la Universidad de Valencia en la segunda mitad del seiscientos. Los incrementos salariales de los pavordes, los gastos provocados por los continuos pleitos con los canónigos, la disminución de la renta de la pavordía, la reclamación por la Cámara Apostólica de los quindenios correspondientes y el desacuerdo entre la Ciudad y los pavordes respecto al estado de las cuentas se conjugaron para provocar la paralización de la provisión de preposituras. Situación a la que sólo la firma de las sucesivas concordias de 1669 y 1680 entre la Ciudad y los pavordes consiguió poner fin. This article analyzes the cau…

Cognitive Functioning of the Prelingually Deaf Adults

2014

Deafness is a model of brain adaptation to sensory deprivation which entails psychomotor and cognitive domains. This study seeks to determine the level of emotional intelligence, assessed from the ability to discern emotions from facial expressions, visual and mental attention, and non-verbal fluency in the deaf people as compared with the hearing counterparts. Participants were 29 prelingually deaf, hearing loss of >70 dB, communicating only in sign language, and 30 hearing persons. The age range of all subjects was 40–50 years. Psychometric tools consisted of the Emotional Intelligence Scale-Faces, the d2 Test of Attention, and the Figural Fluency Test. Data elaboration took gender into a…

Antioxidant Bibenzyl Derivatives from Notholaena nivea Desv.

2011

Four new bibenzyl derivatives were isolated, together with other known bibenzyls, by bioassay-guided fractionation of a CHCl3-MeOH extract of Notholaena nivea Desv. (Pteridaceae) aerial parts. The structures were elucidated by NMR, ESIMS and other spectral analyses. Their antioxidative effects towards superoxide, lipidic peroxidation and the 2,2'- azino-bis-3- ethilbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical were assayed. Results showed that the compound 3,12-dihydroxy-5-methoxybibenzyl (6) is the most active compound in the ABTS free-radical scavenging test, while in the coupled oxidation of ȕ-carotene and linoleic acid assay the compound 5,12-dihydroxy-3-methoxydibenzyl-6- carboxylic a…

Aza- and Azo-Stilbenes: Bio-Isosteric Analogs of Resveratrol

2020

Several series of natural polyphenols are described for their biological and therapeutic potential. Natural stilbenoid polyphenols, such as trans-resveratrol, pterostilbene and piceatannol are well-known for their numerous biological activities. However, their moderate bio-availabilities, especially for trans-resveratrol, prompted numerous research groups to investigate innovative and relevant synthetic resveratrol derivatives. This review is focused on isosteric resveratrol analogs aza-stilbenes and azo-stilbenes in which the C=C bond between both aromatic rings was replaced with C=N or N=N bonds, respectively. In each series, synthetic ways will be displayed, and structural sights will be…

Phytochemical Studies on Ptilostemon greuteri Raimondo & Domina (Compositae)

2012

Ptilostemon greuteri Raimondo & Domina is described as a new species and its growth is limited to the area of the province of Trapani. Essential oils of aerial parts of P. greuteri were analized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The analysis of acetonic extract of aerial parts led to identification of triterpenes components: α-amyrin, β-amyrin, α-amyrin acetate, β-amyrin acetate, lupeol, lupeol acetate and taraxasterol. CC and preparative TLC of acetonic extracts has yielded lignan lactone and a sesquiterpene lactone that have been isolated previously from other Ptilostemon species.

A criterion for zero averages and full support of ergodic measures

2018

International audience; Consider a homeomorphism $f$ defined on a compact metric space $X$ and a continuous map $\phi\colon X \to \mathbb{R}$. We provide an abstract criterion, called control at any scale with a long sparse tail for a point $x\in X$ and the map $\phi$, which guarantees that any weak* limit measure $\mu$ of the Birkhoff average of Dirac measures $\frac1n\sum_0^{n-1}\delta(f^i(x))$ s such that $\mu$-almost every point $y$ has a dense orbit in $X$ and the Birkhoff average of $\phi$ along the orbit of $y$ is zero.As an illustration of the strength of this criterion, we prove that the diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic ergodic measures form a $C^1$-open and dense subset of the s…
