The biochemistry of sirtuins

…, C Wolberger, VL Schramm, JD Boeke - Annu. Rev …, 2006 - annualreviews.org
Sirtuins are a family of NAD + -dependent protein deacetylases widely distributed in all phyla
of life. Accumulating evidence indicates that sirtuins are important regulators of organism …

Transposable elements and genome organization: a comprehensive survey of retrotransposons revealed by the complete Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome …

JM Kim, S Vanguri, JD Boeke, A Gabriel… - Genome …, 1998 - genome.cshlp.org
We conducted a genome-wide survey of Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposons and
identified a total of 331 insertions, including 217 Ty1, 34 Ty2, 41 Ty3, 32 Ty4, and 7 Ty5 …

Retrotransposons, endogenous retroviruses, and the evolution of retroelements

JD Boeke, JP Stoye - 2011 - europepmc.org
The retroelements are as diverse an assemblage of related molecular entities as can be
found anywhere. With the exception of the retroviruses themselves, retroelements are genetic …

Functional profiling of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome

…, G Yen, E Youngman, K Yu, H Bussey, JD Boeke… - nature, 2002 - nature.com
Determining the effect of gene deletion is a fundamental approach to understanding gene
function. Conventional genetic screens exhibit biases, and genes contributing to a phenotype …

Functional Characterization of the S. cerevisiae Genome by Gene Deletion and Parallel Analysis

…, B Andre, R Bangham, R Benito, JD Boeke… - science, 1999 - science.org
The functions of many open reading frames (ORFs) identified in genome-sequencing projects
are unknown. New, whole-genome approaches are required to systematically determine …

A positive selection for mutants lacking orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase activity in yeast: 5-fluoro-orotic acid resistance

JD Boeke, F La Croute, GR Fink - Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1984 - Springer
Mutations at the URA3 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be obtained by a positive
selection. Wild-type strains of yeast (or ura3 mutant strains containing a plasmid-borne URA3 + …

[10] 5-Fluoroorotic acid as a selective agent in yeast molecular genetics

JD Boeke, J Trueheart, G Natsoulis, GR Fink - Methods in enzymology, 1987 - Elsevier
5-FOA is an extremely useful reagent for the selection of Ura − cells amid a population of Ura
+ cells. The selection is effective in transformation and recombination studies where loss of …

[HTML][HTML] Human L1 retrotransposon encodes a conserved endonuclease required for retrotransposition

Q Feng, JV Moran, HH Kazazian, JD Boeke - Cell, 1996 - cell.com
Human L1 elements are highly abundant poly(A) (non-LTR) retrotransposons whose second
open reading frame (ORF2) encodes a reverse transcriptase (RT). We have identified an …

[HTML][HTML] High frequency retrotransposition in cultured mammalian cells

…, SE Holmes, TP Naas, RJ DeBerardinis, JD Boeke… - Cell, 1996 - cell.com
We previously isolated two human L1 elements (L1.2 and LRE2) as the progenitors of
disease-producing insertions. Here, we show these elements can actively retrotranspose in …
