Functional significance of nuclear export and mRNA binding of meiotic regulator Spo5 in fission yeast.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the present work, we describe a group of anomalous dose-response (DR) profiles and develop a dynamic model that is able to explain them. Responses were obtained from conventional assays of three antimicrobial agents (nisin, pediocin and phenol) against two microorganisms (Carnobacterium piscicola and Leuc...
