The most important characteristic of this novel toxin is its specificity towards Heliothis virescens, the tobacco budworm, a worldwide pest of numerous valuable crops such as cotton.
E3 enzymes are of particular interest, as they mediate the substrate specificity of ubiquitylation reactions.
In addition, the specificity of particular antibodies was further confirmed by demonstrating appropriate patterns of subcellular immunoreactivity in positive controls, as well as the absence of immunoreactivity in negative controls.
Here, we compare three widely used thresholds (T X = mean ; T 0.5X = median; T X2SD = mean + 2 standard deviations) to the ROC- analyses derived threshold (T M = the threshold with maximum specificity and senitivity (T M ) obtained as the point of intersection in figure 2) in terms of specificity (Sp) and sensitivity (Se) (Table 1).
The LHR consists of a 335 residue extracellular domain which contains six N-linked glycosylation sites [ 1 ] . Posttranslational changes in glycosylation and phosphorylation result in several LHR variants migrating between ~93 and 44 kDa [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ] . Lower molecular weight forms (48 and 44 kDa species) appear to represent a glycosylated extracellular domain expressed in mammalian cells (truncated receptor) and retain hormone binding specificity.
