A C-terminal motif found in the beta2-adrenergic receptor, P2Y1 receptor and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator determines binding to the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor family of PDZ proteins.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1998-07-21)The Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) binds to the tail of the beta2-adrenergic receptor and plays a role in adrenergic regulation of Na+/H+ exchange. NHERF contains two PDZ domains, the first of which is required ... -
A functional analysis of the spacer of V(D)J recombination signal sequences.
(PLoS Biol, 2003-10)During lymphocyte development, V(D)J recombination assembles antigen receptor genes from component V, D, and J gene segments. These gene segments are flanked by a recombination signal sequence (RSS), which serves as the ... -
A genetic screen reveals Arabidopsis stomatal and/or apoplastic defenses against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000.
(PLoS pathogens, 2011-10-06)Bacterial infection of plants often begins with colonization of the plant surface, followed by entry into the plant through wounds and natural openings (such as stomata), multiplication in the intercellular space (apoplast) ... -
A magnificent time with the "magnificent seven" transmembrane spanning receptors.

A mutation in TNNC1-encoded cardiac troponin C, TNNC1-A31S, predisposes to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ventricular fibrillation.
(The Journal of biological chemistry, 2012-09)Defined as clinically unexplained hypertrophy of the left ventricle, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is traditionally understood as a disease of the cardiac sarcomere. Mutations in TNNC1-encoded cardiac troponin C (cTnC) ... -
Analysis of the mouse transcriptome based on functional annotation of 60,770 full-length cDNAs.
(Nature, 2002-12-05)Only a small proportion of the mouse genome is transcribed into mature messenger RNA transcripts. There is an international collaborative effort to identify all full-length mRNA transcripts from the mouse, and to ensure ... -
Beyond QTL cloning.

CCDC62/ERAP75 functions as a coactivator to enhance estrogen receptor beta-mediated transactivation and target gene expression in prostate cancer cells.
(Carcinogenesis, 2009-05)Human prostate cancer (PCa) and prostate epithelial cells predominantly express estrogen receptor (ER) beta, but not ERalpha. ERbeta might utilize various ER coregulators to mediate the E2-signaling pathway in PCa. Here, ... -
Characterization of the murine BEK fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor: activation by three members of the FGF family and requirement for heparin.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1992-04-15)The bek gene encodes a member of the high-affinity fibroblast growth factor receptor family. The BEK/FGFR-2 receptor is a membrane-spanning tyrosine kinase with the typical features of FGF receptors. We have cloned a murine ... -
Chiropteran types I and II interferon genes inferred from genome sequencing traces by a statistical gene-family assembler.
(BMC Genomics, 2010-07-21)BACKGROUND: The rate of emergence of human pathogens is steadily increasing; most of these novel agents originate in wildlife. Bats, remarkably, are the natural reservoirs of many of the most pathogenic viruses in humans. ... -
Cloning and expression of a human kidney cDNA for an alpha 2-adrenergic receptor subtype.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1988-09)An alpha 2-adrenergic receptor subtype has been cloned from a human kidney cDNA library using the gene for the human platelet alpha 2-adrenergic receptor as a probe. The deduced amino acid sequence resembles the human platelet ... -
Expansion of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor family: cloning and characterization of a human alpha 2-adrenergic receptor subtype, the gene for which is located on chromosome 2.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1990-07)Pharmacologic, biochemical, and genetic analyses have demonstrated the existence of multiple alpha 2-adrenergic receptor (alpha 2AR) subtypes. We have cloned a human alpha 2AR by using the polymerase chain reaction with ... -
FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.
(J Neurosci, 2004-03-31)Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene linked to human speech and has been the target of positive ... -
Interrogation of individual intratumoral B lymphocytes from lung cancer patients for molecular target discovery.
(Cancer Immunol Immunother, 2016-02)Intratumoral B lymphocytes are an integral part of the lung tumor microenvironment. Interrogation of the antibodies they express may improve our understanding of the host response to cancer and could be useful in elucidating ... -
Molecular cloning and expression of the cDNA for the hamster alpha 1-adrenergic receptor.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1988-10)The cDNA for the Syrian hamster alpha 1-adrenergic receptor has been cloned with oligonucleotides corresponding to the partial amino acid sequence of the receptor protein purified from DDT1MF-2 smooth muscle cells. The deduced ... -
Phenotypic properties of transmitted founder HIV-1.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013-04-23)Defining the virus-host interactions responsible for HIV-1 transmission, including the phenotypic requirements of viruses capable of establishing de novo infections, could be important for AIDS vaccine development. Previous ... -
Recursive directional ligation by plasmid reconstruction allows rapid and seamless cloning of oligomeric genes.
(Biomacromolecules, 2010-04-12)This paper reports a new strategy, recursive directional ligation by plasmid reconstruction (PRe-RDL), to rapidly clone highly repetitive polypeptides of any sequence and specified length over a large range of molecular ... -
Selective expression of insulin-like growth factor II in the songbird brain.
(J Neurosci, 1997-09-15)Neuronal replacement occurs in the forebrain of juvenile and adult songbirds. To address the molecular processes that govern this replacement, we cloned the zebra finch insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) cDNA, a factor ... -
Site-specific retinoic acid production in the brain of adult songbirds.
