Mutations in SPTBN2, the gene encoding beta-III spectrin, cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 in humans (SCA5), a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in loss of motor coordination. How these… (More)
Rates of protein synthesis and oxygen consumption ( $$\dot M$$ O2) in cod were compared in both fasted and refed animals. During a 14-day fast both protein synthesis and respiration rates fell to… (More)

Measurements of gill protein synthesis, and hence turnover, were greatly facilitated over the last decade by the application of "flooding dose" methodology to non-mammalian species. Numerous studies… (More)
Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, were maintained on a diet of sandeel and after a 6-day fast were refed a single meal. Concentrations of free amino acids (AAs) were measured in hepatic portal and cardiac… (More)

The study investigated antigen characteristics of biotype (bt) 1 and bt 2 isolates of Yersinia ruckeri.
METHODS AND RESULTS
The cell surface characteristics of Y. ruckeri were compared for… (More)
Beta III spectrin is present throughout the elaborate dendritic tree of cerebellar Purkinje cells and is required for normal neuronal morphology and cell survival. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 5… (More)
The effects of exercise on the rates of protein synthesis in the chambers of the trout heart were investigated in vitro and in vivo. An in vitro rainbow trout heart preparation was developed which… (More)
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 (SCA5) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in beta-III spectrin. A mouse lacking full-length beta-III spectrin has a phenotype… (More)
The activity and capacity (activity tissue weight) of digestive carbohydrases (total carbohydrase, aglucosidase, a-amylase) was examined in vitro under a range of (more realistic) incubation… (More)
