The Rad51 protein, which is a homologue of the bacterial RecA protein, is involved in mitotic
and meiotic recombination and in repair of double-strand breaks of DNA in yeast. The …

Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA is assembled into regularly spaced nucleosomes, which play
a central role in gene regulation by determining accessibility of control regions. The …

The ‘open’ and ‘compact’ regions of chromatin are considered to be regions of active and
silent transcription, respectively. However, individual genes produce transcripts at different …

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
(ATL), a malignancy of CD4 + T cells whose etiology is thought to be associated …

Abstract Analysis was made on the genomic structure, functions, and expression of the mouse
ELP gene, which codes for the embryonal long terminal repeat binding protein. Extensive …

It has been demonstrated that the mammalian Ad4BP/SF-1 (NR5A1) gene is regulated
precisely in sex, tissue, and developmental stage specific manners. To clarify the complex …

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has been characterized by 15; 17 chromosomal translocation,
which involves the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene on chromosome 17 and …

A gene coding for human nerve growth factor (hNGF) was constructed for expression under
control of the trp promoter in E. coli. The plasmid pTRSNGF contained a synthetic hNGF …

Instability of microsatellite sequences are frequently found in human tumors. In addition,
minisatellite sequences, another group of highly unstable sequences, serve as sensitive …

Abp1 is a fission yeast CENP ‐B homologue that contributes to centromere function, silencing
at pericentromeric heterochromatin and silencing of retrotransposons. We identified the …
