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 quorum sensing regulated small volatile molecule reduces acute virulence and promotes chronic infection phenotypes
(2011)
A significant number of environmental microorganisms can cause serious, even fatal, acute and chronic infections in humans. The severity and outcome of each type of infection depends on the expression of specific bacterial ...
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 ...
Efficacy of garbanzo and soybean flour in suppression of aberrant crypt foci in the colons of CF-1 mice
(2004)
Background: Epidemiological studies have reported a low incidence of colon cancer in countries with high legume consumption. Moreover, experimental studies have found that legumes, such as soybeans and pinto beans, have ...
The nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are negative regulators of ciliogenesis
(2014)
Nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are MRP/MinD-type P-loop NTPases with sequence similarity to bacterial division site-determining proteins and are conserved, essential proteins throughout the Eukaryotes. They ...
Effects of in Vivo CD8+ T cell depletion on virus replication in rhesus macaques immunized with a live, attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus vaccine
(2000)
The role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in controlling replication of live, attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was investigated as part of a vaccine study to examine the correlates of protection in the SIV/rhesus macaque ...
Prevention of preneoplastic mammary lesion development by a novel vitamin D analogue, 1α-hydroxyvitamin D5
(1997)
Background: The form of vitamin D (vitamin D3) in fortified milk and the provitamin D produced by the body undergo metabolic activation to a biologically active form, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3]. This compound ...
PKD2, a gene for polycystic kidney disease that encodes an integral membrane protein
(1996)
A second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was identified by positional cloning. Nonsense mutations in this gene (PKD2) segregated with the disease in three PKD2 families. The predicted 968-amino acid ...
WR-1065, an active metabolite of the cytoprotector amifostine, affects phosphorylation of topoisomerase IIα leading to changes in enzyme activity and cell cycle progression in CHO AA8 cells
(1997)
The effects of WR-1065 (2-((aminopropyl)amino)ethanethiol) on cell cycle progression, topoisomerase (topo) IIα activity, and topo IIα phosphorylation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been investigated. Exposure ...
The Polycomb Group Protein SUZ12 regulates histone H3 lysine 9 methylation and HP1α distribution
(2007)
Regulation of histone methylation is critical for proper gene expression and chromosome function. Suppressor of Zeste 12 (SUZ12) is a requisite member of the EED/EZH2 histone methyltransferase complexes, and is required ...
