We therefore determined the effect of MIB on p27 half-life.
The NF-κ B target gene A20 , an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced apoptosis [ 28], is expressed in OCI-Ly3 cells and had a very short mRNA half-life.
Streptococcus mutans in which DCP is inactive do not initiate growth at below pH 6.5 and make glycerol LTA without D-alanine [ 14 ] . In the DCP active strains, soluble D-Alanyl LTA is extruded into culture fluid in vitro [ 16 17 ] or plaque in vivo [ 18 ] . The D-alanyl esters are stable at pH 6.0 at 37°C, but hydrolyze to free D-alanine and LTA with a half-life of 3.9 h at pH 8.0 [ 19 ] . Healthy gingival sulci have a pH of 6.5 - 7.5 and inflamed sulci a pH of 7.5-8.
If the idea that transcription strength mainly drives Tag expression is kept as the working hypothesis, then there are at least three possibilities to explain the K1 data: 1) the K1 protein has a mildly shorter half-life and the small difference results in a different phenotype vis-à-vis the density related expression; 2) failure to bind Rb family members significantly affects the half-life during exponential growth; 3) the LTR vectors can occasionally display integration position effects that in this special case was subject to density dependent control that is different from most LTR driven cell populations.
Similarly, co-transfection of wild type Fyn with RlkY420F did not alter the half-life of RlkY420F in the soluble fraction (data not shown), again arguing that phosphorylation of Rlk by Fyn is required for this increased turnover in the soluble fraction.
