External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment (1993)
Journal Article
Proudfoot, L., Kusel, J. R., Smith, H. V., & Kennedy, M. W. (1993). External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment. Parasitology, 107(05), 559. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182000068141

Previous work has shown that the surface of infective larvae of parasitic nematodes will not bind the fluorescent lipid analogue 5-N(octadecanoyl)aminofluorescein (AF18) until after exposure of the parasite to mammalian tissue-culture conditions. In... Read More about External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment.

Molluscan ligand-gated ion-channel receptors (1993)
Book Chapter
Darlison, M. G., Hutton, M. L., & Harvey, R. J. (1993). Molluscan ligand-gated ion-channel receptors. In Comparative Molecular Neurobiology (48-64). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7265-2_3

In this chapter we introduce the reader to the structures of the different types of ligand-gated ion-channel receptor, and the numerous receptor subtypes that have recently been revealed to exist, in both invertebrate and vertebrate species, by the a...

Sequence and Novel Distribution of the Chicken Homologue of the Mammalianγ-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptorγ1 Subunit (1993)
Journal Article
Glencorse, T. A., Darlison, M. G., Barnard, E. A., & Bateson, A. N. (1993). Sequence and Novel Distribution of the Chicken Homologue of the Mammalianγ-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptorγ1 Subunit. Journal of Neurochemistry, 61(6), 2294-2302. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-4159.1993.tb07473.x

cDNAs have been cloned that encode the chicken (Gallus domesticus) γ-aminobutyric acidA receptor γ1 subunit, the mature sequence of which shares 90, 79, and 69% identity with those of the rat γ1, γ2., and γ3 subunits, respectively. In situ hybridizat... Read More about Sequence and Novel Distribution of the Chicken Homologue of the Mammalianγ-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptorγ1 Subunit.

Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. (1993)
Journal Article
Aguirre, M., Morrison, D., Cookson, B. D., Gay, F. W., & Collins, M. D. (1993). Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. The journal of applied bacteriology, 75, 608-612

A phylogenetic analysis was performed on two previously uncharacterized Gram-positive, catalase-negative bacteria from clinical sources. 16S rRNA sequencing studies revealed the isolates represent a new line of descent within the lactic acid group of...

Molecular cloning reveals the existence of a fourth γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAAreceptor (1993)
Journal Article
Harvey, R. J., Kim, H.-C., & Darlison, M. G. (1993). Molecular cloning reveals the existence of a fourth γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAAreceptor. FEBS Letters, 331(3), 211-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/0014-5793%2893%2980339-v

We have isolated a cDNA, from the chicken, that encodes a fourth type of γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAA receptor. The mature polypeptide (which we name γ4) displays 67%, 69% and 70% identity, respectively, to the rat γ1, γ2 and γ3 subunits....
