Nestin-Cre transgenic mouse line Nes-Cre1 mediates highly efficient Cre/loxP mediated recombination in the nervous system, kidney and somite-derived tissues

Here we describe the generation of the Nes-Cre1 transgenic mouse line in which Cre recombinase expression is controlled by the rat nestin promoter and intron 2 enhancer. This line has previously been used for conditional loss-of-function studies of various ...

Inducible chromosomal translocation of AML1 and ETO genes through Cre/loxP-mediated recombination in the mouse

Transgenic mice have been used to explore the role of chromosomal translocations in the genesis of tumors. But none of these efforts has actually involved induction of a translocation in vivo. Here we report the use of Cre recombinase to replicate in vivo ...

High mobility group chromosomal protein 1 binds to the adeno-associated virus replication protein (Rep) and promotes Rep-mediated site-specific cleavage of DNA, ATPase activity and transcriptional repression

Peter Martin Beard

High mobility group protein 1 (HMG1) is an abundant non-histone chromosomal protein which plays a role in several nuclear events involving DNA. Here we demonstrate that HMG1 physically interacts with the human adeno-associated virus (AAV) Rep protein. HMG1 ...

Pyranosyl-RNA. Further observations on replication. Part 5

Replication (single-turnover) of pyranosyl-RNA (p-RNA) sequences can be accomplished reliably by template-directed ligation of 2',3'-cyclophosphates of short oligomers. The ligation process was studied using (mostly) octamers as templates and tetramers as ...

Role of cysteine62 in DNA recognition by the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B

Gerardo Turcatti

A powerful chemical modification procedure has been developed to define determinants of DNA recognition by the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B. Differential labelling with [14C] iodoacetate has identified a conserved cysteine residue, Cys62, that was protected f ...

Molecular characterization of the resolvase gene, res, carried by a multicopy plasmid from Clostridium perfringens: common evolutionary origin for prokaryotic site-specific recombinases

Stewart Cole

Clostridium perfringens strain CPN50 harbours a 10.2 kb plasmid known as pIP404 which, in addition to a set of UV-inducible genes involved in bacteriocin production, carries res, a gene probably encoding a site-specific recombinase. The RES protein is high ...
