Exploiting position effects and the gypsy retrovirus insulator to engineer precisely expressed transgenes
(2008)A major obstacle to creating precisely expressed transgenes lies in the epigenetic effects of the host chromatin that surrounds them. Here we present a strategy to overcome this problem, employing a Gal4-inducible luciferase ...

Identification of the polycomb group protein SU(Z)12 as a potential molecular target for human cancer therapy
(2003)We have previously identified SU(Z)12 as an E2F target gene. Because many E2F target genes encode proteins that are critical for the control of cell proliferation, we have further characterized the regulation and expression ...

Non-isotopic RNase cleavage assay for mutation detection in MEFV, the gene responsible for familial Mediterranean fever, in a cohort of Greek patients
(2004)Background: The MEFV gene is responsible for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Several disease associated mutations have been identified. The range of genetic variation in MEFV in Greek patients has not been determined. ...

Vasodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein (VASP) depletion from breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells inhibits tumor spheroid invasion through downregulation of Migfilin, β-catenin and urokinase-plasminogen activator (uPA)
(2017)A hallmark of cancer cells is their ability to invade surrounding tissues and form metastases. Cell-extracellular matrix (ECM)-adhesion proteins are crucial in metastasis, connecting tumor ECM with actin cytoskeleton thus ...

Ταυτοποίηση και λειτουργικός χαρακτηρισμός μιας νέας πρωτεϊνης τύπου Κατανίνης, KATNAL2, σε κύτταρα ποντικού
(Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2015-05)Η Katanin αποτελεί μία φυλογενετικά ευρέως διαδεδομένη και καλά χαρακτηρισμένη πρωτεΐνη που ταξινομείται στην υπεροικογένεια των ΑΑΑ ATPάσων και χαρακτηρίζεται από τη δράση της ως ένζυμο κατάτμησης των μικροσωληνίσκων, ...
