3A) was also identified by GeneCalling (a mRNA profiling technique) and in situ hybridization demonstrated that Stc is expressed in the vasculature of a subset of squamous cell carcinomas [ 26 ] . Stc is a secreted protein known to regulate calcium and phosphate homeostasis, potential role of this protein in EC activation and permeability is not clear [ 27 ] . Since most ECM-degrading enzymes are metal ion dependent, Stc may act as a sensor to maintain a steady-state level of metal ions during EC activation.
GCN2 of yeast and mammals is a known sensor of amino acid starvation and regulates cellular responses to such starvation [ 24 25 ] . Using degenerate primers and PCR and database searching identified two GCN2-like genes in Dictyostelium , ifkA and ifkB . Thinking that one or both of these genes may play a role in sensing amino acid starvation and in initiating development, we carried out the work described herein to examine their functions.
It has a motor, internal speakers, a computer chip, a light sensor, a sound sensor, and touch sensors, so in addition to old-hat tricks like blinking and "dancing," Furby knows whether you're in the room and will talk, sing, and generally act cute.
4. This is also consistent with the suggestion, made in a recent report showing that cystic fibrosis isolates of P. aeruginosa had lipid A isoforms derivatized with aminoarabinose (or palmitate), that these structural modifications could enhance resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides [ 61 ] . Although the acyl chains of lipid A might also provide alternative binding sites for protegrin, the orientation of lipid A on the HPA sensor chip ("butter-side down") probably removes them from consideration, at least under our study conditions.
Anticipating the patient's regular tics, the researchers monitored how his grip on the sensor box changed as his arm twitched.
