Genetic organization of Drosophila bithorax complex
TL;DR: The Drosophila bithorax complex is subdivided into three major genes: Ultrabithorx+, abdominal-A+ and Abdominal-B+.

Regulation of Liver Pyruvate Kinase and the Phosphoenolpyruvate Crossroads
TL;DR: The hypothesis that an isoenzyme of pyruvate kinase present in liver and kidney has evolved with built-in specific regulatory mechanisms in order to prevent the diversion of phosphoenolpyruvates from its way to glucose in glucoenogenic situations is strongly supported.

A convenient micromethod for the assay of primary amines and proteins with fluorescamine. A reexamination of the conditions of reaction.
TL;DR: Alkaline and acid hydrolysis are shown to decrease the variability of the reaction shown by different proteins, while increasing the sensitivity.

Mitochondrial DNA remains intact during Drosophila aging, but the levels of mitochondrial transcripts are significantly reduced.
TL;DR: The results suggest that in Drosophila the main effect of aging on the mitochondrial genetic system is downstream from mtDNA itself, and not only the mitochondrial machinery, but also the nuclear one involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, is affected during aging.

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the crustacean Artemia franciscana.
TL;DR: The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana has been determined, extending the present knowledge of mitochondrial genomes to the crustacean class and supplies molecular markers for future comparative studies in this large branch of the arthropod phylum.
