Characterisation of the paralytic shellfish toxin biosynthesis gene clusters in Anabaena circinalis AWQC131C and Aphanizomenon sp. NH-5
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-03-30)Background: Saxitoxin and its analogues collectively known as the paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are neurotoxic alkaloids and are the cause of the syndrome named paralytic shellfish poisoning. PSTs are produced by a ... -
Characteristics of DNA polymerase I from an extreme thermophile, Thermus scotoductus strain K1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Several native and engineered heat-stable DNA polymerases from a variety of sources are used as powerful tools in different molecular techniques, including polymerase chain reaction, medical diagnostics, DNA sequencing, ... -
Characterization of a novel RXR receptor in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Copepoda) regulating growth and female reproduction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-14)Background: Nuclear receptors have crucial roles in all metazoan animals as regulators of gene transcription. A wide range of studies have elucidated molecular and biological significance of nuclear receptors but there are ... -
Characterization of a VHS virus genotype III isolated from rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) at a marine site on the west coast of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-01-26)Background Norwegian production of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been without any outbreaks of VHS for many years until the disease emerged in a farm in western Norway in November 2007. The fish were, in addition ... -
Characterization of benthic communities at Loki’s Castle vent field using a photomosaic
(Master thesis, 2021-08-30)Loki’s Castle was the first black smoker hydrothermal vent field to be discovered on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR), and is known to host a specialized and highly endemic fauna. Despite being studied since its discovery ... -
Characterization of CD4+ T-Cell Subsets and Responses in Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus).

Characterization of Evolutionarily Conserved Trypanosoma cruzi NatC and NatA-N-Terminal Acetyltransferase Complexes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-06)Protein N-terminal acetylation is a co- and posttranslational modification, conserved among eukaryotes. It determines the functional fate of many proteins including their stability, complex formation, and subcellular ... -
Characterization of hARD2, a processed hARD1 gene duplicate, encoding a human protein N-α-acetyltransferase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-04-25)Background: Protein acetylation is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism regulating a variety of cellular functions. Several human protein acetyltransferases have been characterized, most of them catalyzing ... -
Characterization of insertion variants of the carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene - A role in pancreatic disease?
(Master thesis, 2018-06-26)Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is a digestive enzyme that is mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. The CEL gene is highly polymorphic due to a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) region in the last exon. ... -
Characterization of NAA10 mutations in patients exhibiting phenotypes associated with N-terminal acetylation deficiency
(Master thesis, 2018-12-19)Approximately 80% of the proteins found in human cells are acetylated on their N-terminus, either partially or completely, by a group of enzymes called N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs)^1. To date, seven NATs, NatA-NatF^2–7 ... -
Characterization of Not homeobox genes during development in Nematostella vectensis
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
Characterization of Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1 using transgenic zebrafish
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-12-01)Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) is a transcription factor essential for the embryonic development of vertebrates. The zebrafish mutant nrf is characterized by apoptotic photoreceptor death during embryogenesis followed ... -
Characterization of Pseudoterranova ceticola (Nematoda: Anisakidae) larvae from meso/bathypelagic fishes off Macaronesia (NW Africa waters)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The genus Pseudoterranova includes parasite species of cetaceans and pinnipeds. The third stage larva (L3) of seal-infecting species occur in second intermediate or paratenic fish hosts mainly in neritic waters. This study ... -
Characterization of regulatory T cells in Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome type I, a model disease for autoimmunity
(Master thesis, 2018-12-21)The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system face the challenge of correctly recognizing antigens originating from a vast number of rapidly evolving pathogens, while ignoring those pertaining to the host itself. ... -
Characterization of Small, Mononuclear Blood Cells from Salmon Having High Phagocytic Capacity and Ability to Differentiate into Dendritic like Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-14)Phagocytes are the principal component of the innate immune system, playing a key role in the clearance of foreign particles that include potential pathogens. In vertebrates, both neutrophils and mononuclear cells like ... -
