REDUCED STEROID ACTIVATION OF ELEPHANT SHARK GR AND MR AFTER INSERTING FOUR AMINO ACIDS FROM THE DNA-BINDING DOMAIN OF LAMPREY CORTICOID RECEPTOR-1

Reduced steroid activation of elephant shark GR and MR after inserting four amino acids from the DNA-binding domain of lamprey corticoid receptor-1

Atlantic sea lamprey contains two corticoid receptors (CRs), CR1 and CR2, that have identical amino acid sequences, except for a four amino acid insert (Thr-Arg-Gln-Gly) in the CR1 DNA-binding domain (DBD).Steroids are stronger transcriptional activators of CR2 than of here CR1 suggesting that the insert reduces the transcriptional response of lamp

Troglostrongylus brevior and Troglostrongylus subcrenatus (Strongylida: Crenosomatidae) as agents of broncho-pulmonary infestation in domestic cats

Abstract Background Aelurostrongylus abstrusus is currently regarded as the main metastrongyloid infesting domestic cats, whereas the reports of Troglostrongylus spp.in domestic and wild felids largely remain anecdotic.This paper reports on pulmonary infestation caused by Troglostrongylus brevior and Troglostrongylus subcrenatus in two kittens and
