MUTED

Protein Muted homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUTED gene.

This gene encodes a component of BLOC-1 (biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1). Components of this complex are involved in the biogenesis of organelles such as melanosomes and platelet-dense granules. A mouse model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is mutated in the murine version of this gene. Some transcripts of the downstream gene TXNDC5 overlap this gene, but they do not contain an open reading frame for this gene.

Interactions

MUTED has been shown to interact with BLOC1S2,Dysbindin and PLDN.

"Nee" (ã?­ã?‡, "Hey") is the seventeenth single released by Japanese girl group Perfume. "Nee" is used in a tie-in campaign with Japanese apparel brand Natural Beauty Basic. The full version of "Nee" was aired on Perfume's radio program Perfume Locks on 21 October 2010. The single was released on November 10, 2010 in Japan.

Promotion and music video

"Nee" is being used as the theme song for Natural Beauty Basic, like previous single "Natural ni koishite" was used. Like "Natural ni koishite", the video for "Nee" featured outfits created by the clothing line that were simultaneously made available on the website. The music video features the girls dancing on a hexagonal platform, surrounded by winter scenery. At first, each member of Perfume is shown individually and, through the use of CG, appears on screen three times dancing. In the second half, all three members are shown together, with each part of their choreography coming together to create an elaborate dance performance. These scenes are interspersed with Perfume posing against and wandering through a white set of white cutouts of trees, street signs and buildings.

Slavery

Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a person is a slave, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave's labour, without any remuneration. The rights and protection of the slave may be regulated by laws and customs in a particular time and place, and a person may become a slave from the time of their capture, purchase or birth.

Today, chattel slavery is unlawful in all countries, but a person may still be described as a slave if he or she is forced to work for another person without an ability on their part to unilaterally terminate the arrangement. Such situations are today commonly referred to as "practices similar to slavery". The present form of the slave trade is commonly referred to as human trafficking.

Slavery existed before written history and in many cultures. It was once institutionally recognized by most societies, but has now been outlawed in all countries, the last being Mauritania in 2007. However, it continues through such practices as debt bondage, serfdom, domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers, human trafficking and forced marriage. Accordingly, there are more slaves today than at any time in history, with an estimated 20 million to 36 million slaves worldwide.
