A novel human endogenous retroviral protein inhibits cell-cell fusion.
(Scientific reports, 2013-01)While common in viral infections and neoplasia, spontaneous cell-cell fusion, or syncytialization, is quite restricted in healthy tissues. Such fusion is essential to human placental development, where interactions between ... -
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. ... -
Classification and genetic characterization of pattern-forming Bacilli.
(Mol Microbiol, 1998-02)One of the more natural but less commonly studied forms of colonial bacterial growth is pattern formation. This type of growth is characterized by bacterial populations behaving in an organized manner to generate readily ... -
Cloning of the cDNA for the human beta 1-adrenergic receptor.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1987-11)Screening of a human placenta lambda gt11 library has led to the isolation of the cDNA for the human beta 1-adrenergic receptor (beta 1AR). Used as the probe was the human genomic clone termed G-21. This clone, which contains ... -
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 ... -
In situ studies of the primary immune response to (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl. II. A common clonal origin for periarteriolar lymphoid sheath-associated foci and germinal centers.
(J Exp Med, 1992-09-01)In the genetically restricted response that follows immunization with (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl coupled to protein carriers, two distinct populations of B cells are observed in the spleens of C57BL/6 mice. By 48 h ... -
Prospective estimation of recombination signal efficiency and identification of functional cryptic signals in the genome by statistical modeling.
(J Exp Med, 2003-01-20)The recombination signals (RS) that guide V(D)J recombination are phylogenetically conserved but retain a surprising degree of sequence variability, especially in the nonamer and spacer. To characterize RS variability, we ... -
Screening the human exome: a comparison of whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing.
(Genome Biol, 2010)BACKGROUND: There is considerable interest in the development of methods to efficiently identify all coding variants present in large sample sets of humans. There are three approaches possible: whole-genome sequencing, ... -
Transcriptional regulation of N-acetylglutamate synthase.
(PloS one, 2012-01)The urea cycle converts toxic ammonia to urea within the liver of mammals. At least 6 enzymes are required for ureagenesis, which correlates with dietary protein intake. The transcription of urea cycle genes is, at least ...
