| cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase in humans, mice, and voles and phylogenetic analysis of the enzyme family. | in this study, we report cdna sequences of the cytosolic nadp-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase for humans, mice, and two species of voles (microtus mexicanus and microtus ochrogaster). inferred amino acid sequences from these taxa display a high level of amino acid sequence conservation, comparable to that of myosin beta heavy chain, and share known structural features. a caenorhabditis elegans enzyme that was previously identified as a protein similar to isocitrate dehydrogenase is most likel ... | 1998 | 9866202 |
| [differential expression of cidh gene between purebreds and hybrids in chicken and relationship with heterosis]. | the technique of silver staining mrna differential display was used to check the molecular genetic mechanism of heterosis in chicken. a differentially expressed fragment ce15a15, which was only expressed in two crossbreds, was found between purebreds and crossbreds. it is proved that the fragment intensively expresses in crossbreds through reverse northern dot blot and rt-pcr. it shares 97% of sequence identity with a partial cdna sequence of chicken that has been deposited in genbank (aw198493) ... | 2004 | 15640008 |
| elk herbivory alters small mammal assemblages in high-elevation drainages. | heavy herbivory by ungulates can substantially alter habitat, but the indirect consequences of habitat modification for animal assemblages that rely on that habitat are not well studied. this is a particularly important topic given that climate change can alter plant-herbivore interactions. we explored short-term responses of small mammal communities to recent exclusion of rocky mountain elk (cervus elaphus) in high-elevation riparian drainages in northern arizona, where elk impacts on vegetatio ... | 2013 | 23163813 |
| host species influence on flea (siphonaptera) infection parameters of terrestrial micromammals in a temperate forest of mexico. | studies of abundance and distribution of organisms are fundamental to ecology. the identity of host species is known to be one of the major factors influencing ectoparasitic flea abundance, but explanations are still needed regarding how host taxa influence abundance parameters of different flea species. this study was carried out at la malinche national park (lmnp), tlaxcala, mexico, where previously 11 flea species had been recorded on 8 host species. our aims were to list micromammal flea spe ... | 2019 | 30486915 |
