Myofibroblasts of wound granulation tissue, in contrast to dermal fibroblasts, join stress fibers at sites of cadherin-type intercellular adherens junctions (AJs). However, the function of myofibroblast AJs, their molecular composition, and the mechanisms ...
Plakophilins are proteins of the armadillo family that function in embryonic development and in the adult, and when mutated can cause disease. We have ablated the plakophilin 2 gene in mice. The resulting mutant mice exhibit lethal alterations in heart mor ...
Since the advent of microarrays, vast amounts of gene expression data have been generated. However, these microarray data fail to reveal the transcription regulatory mechanisms that underlie differential gene expression, because the identity of the respons ...
Hormone binding nuclear receptors are transcription factors that activate gene transcription by binding to specific DNA sequences in the gene promoter region and then recruiting the necessary coactivator proteins for transcriptional activation. The knowled ...
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in functional genomics, gene therapy, tissue engineering, drug discovery and biopharmaceuticals production have been fostered by precise small-molecule-mediated fine-tuning of desired transgenes. METHODS: Capitalizing on well-ev ...
It has been shown by using the quail/chick chimera system that Hox gene expression in the hindbrain is influenced by positional signals arising from the environment. In order to decipher the pathway that leads to Hox gene induction, we have investigated wh ...
Cell-cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin is often lost or disturbed in human carcinomas. For regular adhesive function, E-cadherin has to form complexes with peripheral cytoplasmic catenins which are multifunctional proteins that are also involved in sign ...
Sterols and cholesterol in particular are lipids that have been studied exhaustively in view of their vital role in diverse cellular functions. Recently, it has been recognized that cholesterol is not only an essential component for the formation of membra ...
The catabolism of cholesterol into bile acids is regulated by oxysterols and bile acids, which induce or repress transcription of the pathway's rate-limiting enzyme cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). The nuclear receptor LXRalpha binds oxysterols and ...
Transcriptional activity relies on coregulators that modify the chromatin structure and serve as bridging factors between transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery. Using the DE domain of human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g ...
