(2012)
Since the days of Darwin, scientists have used the framework of the theory of evolution to explore the interconnectedness of life on Earth and adaptation of organisms to the ever-changing environment. The advent of molecular ...
Landscape influences on fisher success: Adaptation strategies in closed and open access fisheries in southern Chile
(2012-03)
Determinants of fisher success in southern Chile's loco (Concholepas concholepas) fishery are examined by comparing fisher success in exclusive access territories that vary in relationship to tree-plantation development, ...
Nectin like -5 overexpression correlates with the malignant phenotype in cutaneous melanoma
(2012-08-26)
NECL-5 is involved in regulating cell–cell junctions, in cooperation with cadherins, integrins and platelet-derived growth factor receptor, that are essential for intercellular communication. Its role in malignant ...
Organic matter characterization and decomposition dynamics in sub-Antarctic streams impacted by invasive beavers
(2012-11)
Despite being a relatively remote and well conserved area, the sub-Antarctic ecoregion faces pressing global threats from climate change, the ozone hole and introduced species. Its freshwater ecosystems are one of the least ...

The HTLV-1-encoded protein HBZ directly inhibits the acetyl transferase activity of p300/CBP
(2012-03-19)
The homologous cellular coactivators p300 and CBP contain intrinsic lysine acetyl transferase (termed HAT) activity. This activity is responsible for acetylation of several sites on the histones as well as modification of ...
