PARA UMA PAZ SEM FIM : Um estudo, sócio-político e teológico, da tipologia messiânica nas perícopes de Isaías 7,10-17 e 8,23-9,6.

O ato de ungir, do qual se origina o termo messias, era um costume dos povos do Antigo Oriente Médio e foi assimilado por Israel. O Antigo Testamento, porém, reinterpretou esta unção. Ele atribuiu ao rei, num primeiro momento, o título de ungido, maxiah;. Nesta perspectiva, o rei Davi foi aquele que deu origem à mentalidade messiânica em Israel. E a respeito da teologia messiânica, o profeta Isaías tornou-se um dos seus expoentes. Ele se dirige à classe alta de Jerusalém e propõe um Ungido de Javé em substituição ao rei da casa de Davi. Isto porque, o messianismo também se tornou um movimento de resistência frente a não observância da justiça e do direito, que culmina com a ausência da paz. Nesse sentido, Isaías apresenta também uma nova percepção do messianismo, a saber, uma ruptura com a casa de Davi (7,17). Este messias não estava sob os critérios humanos de um bom rei, forte e guerreiro, mas sob a direção do Espírito de Javé. Por isso, ele poderá ser um messias criança (7,14; 9,5). Esta dissertação tem, portanto, a finalidade de percorrer o caminho do surgimento do ungido, ou do ato de se ungir, até a concepção isaiânica de messias. Esse desenvolvimento mostrará, ao final do trabalho, a tipologia messiânica apresentada pelo profeta Isaías, a partir das perícopes de 7,10-17 e 8,23-9,6.(AU)

Cloning and characterization of human inducible nitric oxide synthase splice variants: A domain, encoded by exons 8 and 9, is critical for dimerization

The inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contains an amino-terminal oxygenase domain, a carboxy-terminal reductase domain, and an intervening calmodulin-binding region. For the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), iNOS is active as a homodimer. The human iNOS mRNA is subject to alternative splicing, including deletion of exons 8 and 9 that encode amino acids 242–335 of the oxygenase domain. In this study, iNOS8−9− and full-length iNOS (iNOSFL) were cloned from bronchial epithelial cells. Expression of iNOS8−9− in 293 cell line resulted in generation of iNOS8−9− mRNA and protein but did not lead to NO production. In contrast to iNOSFL, iNOS8−9− did not form dimers. Similar to iNOSFL, iNOS8−9− exhibited NADPH-diaphorase activity and contained tightly bound calmodulin, indicating that the reductase and calmodulin-binding domains were functional. To identify sequences in exons 8 and 9 that are critical for dimerization, iNOSFL was used to construct 12 mutants, each with deletion of eight residues in the region encoded by exons 8 and 9. In addition, two “control” iNOS deletion mutants were synthesized, lacking either residues 45–52 of the oxygenase domain or residues 1131–1138 of the reductase domain. Whereas both control deletion mutants generated NO and formed dimers, none of the 12 other mutants formed dimers or generated NO. The region encoded by exons 8 and 9 is critical for iNOS dimer formation and NO production but not for reductase activity. This region could be a potential target for therapeutic interventions aimed at inhibiting iNOS dimerization and hence NO synthesis.

Comment on Rule 14a-8(i)(9), Securities and Exchange Commission, June 30, 2015

The Securities and Exchange Commission has been analyzing its interpretation under Subsection (i)(9) of Rule 14a-8. This provision allows for the exclusion of shareholder proposals that conflict with those submitted by management. The staff has been examining its interpretation since instructed to do so by the chair of the SEC following a no action appeal in a case involving Whole Foods. A number of letters and memos submitted in connection with the review have analyzed the issue. At least one asserted that any change in interpretation required the Commission to go through the process of notice and comment. This letter asserts that notice and comment is not required, relying extensively on Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association.
