Translocation t(2;7)(p12;q21-22) with dysregulation of the CDK6 gene mapping to 7q21-22 in a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with leukemia
(2002-04)
Background and Objectives. A female patient presented with splenomegaly and lymphocytosis with atypical lymphoid cell morphology, We identified t(2;7)(p12;q21) prompting studies of the translocation breakpoint and its ...
A mutation in the Gsk3-binding domain of zebrafish Masterblind/Axin1 leads to a fate transformation of telencephalon and eyes to diencephalon
(2001-06-01)
Zebrafish embryos homozygous for the masterblind (mb1) mutation exhibit a striking phenotype in which the eyes and telencephalon are reduced or absent and diencephalic fates expand to the front of the brain. Here we show ...
Epstein-Barr Virus Latency in B Cells Leads to Epigenetic Repression and CpG Methylation of the Tumour Suppressor Gene Bim
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-06)
In human B cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), latency-associated virus gene products inhibit expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-2-family member Bim and enhance cell survival. This involves the activities of the ...
Multigene expression of protein complexes by iterative modification of genomic Bacmid DNA
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2009-09-02)
Background: Many cellular multi-protein complexes are naturally present in cells at low abundance. Baculovirus expression offers one approach to produce milligram quantities of correctly folded and processed eukaryotic ...
Recurrent KRAS Codon 146 mutations in human colorectal cancer
(2006-08)
Recurrent KRAS Codon 146 mutations in human colorectal cancer An activating point mutation in codon 12 of the HRAS gene was the first somatic point mutation identified in a human cancer and established the role of somatic ...
Lkb1 Deficiency Alters Goblet and Paneth Cell Differentiation in the Small Intestine
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-01)
The Lkb1 tumour suppressor is a multitasking kinase participating in a range of physiological processes. We have determined the impact of Lkb1 deficiency on intestinal homeostasis, particularly focussing on secretory cell ...
Deficiency of LKB1 in heart prevents ischemia-mediated activation of AMPK alpha 2 but not AMPK alpha 1
(2006-05)
Deficiency of LKB1 in heart prevents ischemia-mediated activation of AMPK alpha 2 but not AMPK alpha 1 Recent studies indicate that the LKB1 is a key regulator of the AMP-activated protein kinase ( AMPK), which plays a ...
High levels of the MDM2 oncogene in paediatric rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines may confer multidrug resistance
(2001-11-30)
The MDM2 protein is known to be overexpressed in some sarcomas including rhabdomyosarcoma. However, the extent to which the MDM2 protein influences sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs is unclear. We have analysed this ...
Characterization of sugar binding by the mannose receptor family member, Endo180.
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2002-12-27)
Members of the mannose receptor family, the mannose receptor, the phospholipase A(2) receptor, DEC-205, and Endo180, contain multiple C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs) within a single polypeptide. In addition, at their N ...
Short-term presurgical treatment for all?
