Epigenetic control of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) and fumarate nitrate reductase (FNR) master regulatory proteins contributes to Haemophilus influenzae survival during lung i... by Celia Gil-Campillo, Begoña Euba, Irene Rodríguez-Arce, David San León, Mary C. Marino, Javier Asensio-López, Nahikari López-López, Joshua C. Mell, Gabriel Gutiérrez, Jeroen D. Langereis, María Antonia Sánchez-Romero, Junkal Garmendia

“…Moreover, RNA sequencing differential gene expression disclosed a novel regulatory network where Dam methyltransferase positively regulates the expression of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur), which in turn represses the expression of the fumarate nitrate reductase (FNR) regulator and, subsequently, of a repertoire of genes that belong to the FNR regulon and encode bacterial anaerobic defenses against, among others, reactive nitrogen species produced within the diseased airways. …”

French Loanwords in Canadian English: A Usage-Based Approach by Julie Rouaud

“…Our methodology is compatible with that type of approach. By positing the existence of exemplars which are stored in the mental lexicon with all their features, including meanings and inferences in context, we assume that meaning is not necessarily encoded linguistically and therefore fixed but that it can be stored and become conventionalized through use. …”
