The cytosine deaminase APOBEC3G, in the absence of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory gene HIV-1 viral infectivity factor (vif), inhibits viral replication by introducing G-->A hypermutation in the newly synthesized HIV-1 DNA negativ ...
By conditional gene ablation in mice, we found that beta-catenin, an essential downstream effector of canonical Wnt signaling, is a key regulator of formation of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) and of the dorsal-ventral axis of the limbs. By generation o ...
A review of recent developments in the labeling of fusion proteins with synthetic mols. in the living cell or in complex mixts. The most commonly used tags are presented and then focuses on a new class of tags that are not limited to their genetically enco ...
Studying proteins in living cells generally requires the construction of a fusion protein between the protein of interest and an appropriate tag. Currently used fusion protein-based assays rely on the genetically encoded properties of the tag, which signif ...
A central debate regarding neocortical function concerns the degree to which the underlying microcircuitry is stereotypically organized. Stereotypy reflects invariance in structure and function, as a result of common genetic templates and environmental con ...
We have isolated a novel protein kinase cDNA, PfPK6, by differential display RT-PCR (DDRT-PCR) of mRNA obtained from different asexual erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum, which shows sequence similarity to both cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and m ...
A reporter assay was developed to detect and quantify nonsense codon suppression by chem. aminoacylated tRNAs in mammalian cells. It is based on the cellular expression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a reporter for the site-specific am ...
This paper presents an overview of the anatomy, physiology, and biology of the lymphatic system specifically relevant to lymphatic drug delivery. We will briefly review the classic fluid and solute transport literature, and also examine the current researc ...
A new strategy based on lentiviral-mediated delivery of mutant huntingtin (htt) was used to create a genetic model of Huntington's disease (HD) in rats and to assess the relative contribution of polyglutamine (CAG) repeat size, htt expression levels, and p ...
Morphology plays an important role in the computational properties of neural systems, affecting both their functionality and the way in which this functionality is developed during life. In computer-based models of neural networks, artificial evolution is ...
