Spt5 Affects The Rate Of Mrna Degradation And Physically Interacts With Ccr4 But Does Not Control Mrna Deadenylation, Yajun Cui, Yueh-Chin Chiang, Palaniswamy Viswanathan, Darren J. Lee, Clyde L. Denis

New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications

The CCR4-NOT complex has been shown to have multiple roles in mRNA metabolism, including that of transcriptional elongation, mRNA transport, and nuclear exosome function, but the primary function of CCR4 and CAF1 is in the deadenylation and degradation of cytoplasmic mRNA. As previous genetic analysis supported an interaction between SPT5, known to be involved in transcriptional elongation, and that of CCR4, the physical association of SPT5 with CCR4 was examined. A two-hybrid screen utilizing the deadenylase domain of CCR4 as a bait identified SPT5 as a potential interacting protein. SPT5 at its physiological concentration was shown to immunoprecipitate CCR4 and …

Analiza Vpliva Človeškega Kapitala In Podjetniških Mrež Na Ambicije Podjetnic Za Rast, Sanja Cvajdik

Economic and Business Review

The entrepreneur, male or female, is central to entrepreneurship. However, since the latter are less represented, in this article I use a literature review and empirical research to examine how human capital and entrepreneurial networks affect the growth ambitions of women entrepreneurs and thus the forces that determine their behaviour in achieving their goals. Understanding the factors that increase (or inhibit) women entrepreneurs' growth ambitions will facilitate comparison with male counterparts, which may contribute to better and faster removal of obstacles that women entrepreneurs encounter both on their entrepreneurial path and later in running businesses, or to an increase in …

When A Promotion Is Denied: The Effects Of Decision Stage On Perceptions Of Promotion And Price Fairness, Monika Kukar-Kinney, Lan Xia, Kent B. Monroe

Economic and Business Review

Marketers frequently use promotions to enhance sales and increase consumers’ perceptions of value. However, most promotions usually come with restrictions, such as time expiration, quantity or product model restriction, etc. In the present research, the effect of the stage in the purchase process when the consumer finds out about the restriction is investigated. The findings indicate that the later in the purchase process the consumer discovers the restriction, the greater is the perception that the effort invested into the purchase is wasted, consequently resulting in lower promotion and price fairness. This effect is mediated through the feeling of entitlement to …
