Characteristics of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in the house fly (Musca domestica, L.) and the blow fly (Phormia regina, Meigen)

Creator:: Vincent, Daniel R.
Abstract:: NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, an important enzyme in the cytochrome P-450-dependent microsomal monooxygenase system, was purified from insecticide-resistant (R) and -susceptible (S) house flies (Musca domestica, L.) and from the black blow fly (Phormia regina, Weigen). Proteolytic degradation to a P-450 - inactive form of the reductase was reduced during the...

Characterization of the Structure and Dynamics of the Intrinsically Disordered Dynein Intermediate Chain and its Interactions with Regulatory Binding Partners

Creator:: Morgan, Jessica L.
Abstract:: Cells represent microcosms of spatial and temporal structural organization, with the achievement of internal spatial organization relying upon a collection of macromolecular motor complexes to transport and localize components throughout the cell. Cytoplasmic dynein is one such motor complex, and is the principal ATP-dependent motor for retrograde transport along microtubules...
