This paper describes the morphosyntactic and semantic characteristics of clausal object complementation in the Great Lakes Bantu Language Ruuli (JE103).In addition to providing an overview of the complementation strategies in Ruuli, parallels will be drawn to constructions described for related languages as well as common cross-linguistic patterns
Expansion of ribosomally produced natural products: a nitrile hydratase- and Nif11-related precursor family
Abstract Background A new family of natural products has been described in which cysteine, serine and threonine from ribosomally-produced peptides are converted to thiazoles, oxazoles and methyloxazoles, respectively.These metabolites and their biosynthetic gene clusters are now referred to as thiazole/oxazole-modified microcins (TOMM).As exemplifi
