40LoVe and Samba are involved in Xenopusneural development and functionally distinct from hnRNP AB
(2014)Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) comprise a large group of modular RNA-binding proteins classified according to their conserved domains. This modular nature, coupled with a large choice of alternative ...

A base substitution at IVS-19 3′-end splice junction causes exon 20 skipping in proα2(I) collagen mRNA and produces mild osteogenesis imperfecta
(1994)Molecular investigations on a young patient and her family were undertaken to identify the molecular defect responsible for a mild form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with blue sclerae, dentinogenesis imperfecta and joint ...

C2, An Unusual Filamentous Bacterial Virus: Protein Sequence and Conformation, DNA Size and Conformation, and Nucleotide/Subunit Ratio
(1995)Inovirus C2 is 1295 nm long and 6.8 nm in diameter, and its mass is 24 million Da. Its genome is a topologically circular, single-stranded DNA molecule of 8100 nucleotides. The DNA is packed in the virion as two antiparallel ...

Cellular HIV type 1 DNA levels are equivalent among drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains in newly diagnosed and antiretroviral naive patients
(2014)The emergence of resistance against current antiretroviral drugs to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is an increasingly important concern to the continuous success of antiretroviral therapy to HIV-1-infected ...

A chemokine receptor CCR2 allele delays HIV-1 disease progression and is associated with a CCR5 promoter mutation
(1998)Viral and host factors influence the rate of HIV-1 disease progression. For HIV-1 to fuse, a CD4+ cell must express a co-receptor that the virus can use. The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are used by R5 and X4 viruses, ...

Coexpression of H2-Mb and H2-Ab genes during fetal and postnatal development
(1996)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-like molecules, H2-M, have an essential role in processing and presentation of antigens by the MHC class II molecules, because functional inactivation of these genes lead ...

Complete coding sequence, exon/intron arrangement and chromosome location of ZNF45, a KRAB-domain-containing gene
(1996)Zinc finger genes represent a large multigene family present in mammalian and other genomes. A subgroup of these genes contain a conserved motif, the KRAB domain, at the NH2-terminal region, which was recently shown to ...

Crossreactivity to vinculin and microbes provides a molecular basis for HLA-based protection against rheumatoid arthritis
(2015)The HLA locus is the strongest risk factor for anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) + rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite considerable efforts in the last 35 years, this association is poorly understood. Here we ...

Detection of a novel nonsense mutation and an intragenic polymorphism in the PKD1 gene of a Cypriot family with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(1996)Mutations in the PKD1 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16 account for 85%-90% of polycystic kidney disease patients in the Caucasian population. After the recent characterization of the gene, we started a search for ...

Differential expression of the rat retinoid X receptor γ gene during skeletal muscle differentiation suggests a role in myogenesis
(1997)Even though previous studies have shown that transcripts encoding the murine retinoid X receptor γ (RXRγ) are present in skeletal muscle of mouse embryos and that cultured myoblasts are induced to differentiate upon retinoid ...

An error in dystrophin mRNA processing in golden retriever muscular dystrophy, an animal homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(1992)Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) is a spontaneous, X-linked, progressively fatal disease of dogs and is also a homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Two-thirds of DMD patients carry detectable deletions ...

Evidence of two distinct subsubtypes within the HIV-1 subtype A radiation
(2001)Members of HIV-1 group M are responsible for the vast majority of AIDS cases worldwide and have been classified on the basis of their phylogenetic relationships into nine roughly equidistant clades, termed subtypes. Although ...

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 ...

Expression of type I procollagen genes.
(1988)All of the type I collagen in connective tissue is the product of one structural gene for the pro alpha 1(I) chain and another for the pro alpha 2(I) chain of type I procollagen. An intriguing question therefore is how the ...

Genetic analysis of HIV type 1 strains from newly infected untreated patients in cyprus: high genetic diversity and low prevalence of drug resistance.
(2009)Abstract The molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 infection was first studied in Cyprus in the mid-1990s, but the extent of HIV-1 diversity and the prevalence of drug resistance have remained elusive. In an effort to address ...

Genetic analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains from patients in cyprus: Identification of a new subtype designated subtype I
(1995)DNA sequences encoding the C2 to V3 region of envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were amplified by PCR from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 24 of 25 HIV-1- ...

Genetic analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains in Kenya: A comparison using phylogenetic analysis and a combinatorial melting assay
(1999)We surveyed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) subtype distribution from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected in 1995 from 24 HIV-1- infected Kenyan residents (specimens from predominantly male truck drivers ...

Genetic evidence for a trans-heterozygous model for cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(2000)Polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a condition with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and adult onset. Two forms of the disease, ADPKD1 and ADPKD2, caused by mutations in PKD1 and PKD2, respectively, are very ...

Haploinsufficiency of the miR-873/miR-876 microRNA cluster is associated with craniofacial abnormalities
(2015)MicroRNA haploinsufficiency has been associated with developmental defects in only a limited number of cases. Here we report a de novo genomic microdeletion that includes the LINGO2 gene as well as two microRNA genes, ...
