13. A novel variant of human Grb7 is associated with invasive esophageal carcinoma.
The cDNAs of a putative growth factor-bound (Grb) 7 signal transduction molecule and Grb7V novel splice variant were isolated from an invasive human esophageal carcinoma. Although both Grb7 isoforms share homology with the Mig-10 cell migration gene, the Grb7V isoform lacks 88 base pairs in the C terminus; the resultant frame shift leads to substitution of a

14. Genetic and biochemical analysis of the MetR activator-binding site in the metE metR control region of Salmonella typhimurium.
The Salmonella typhimurium metE and metR genes share a common control region, with overlapping, divergently transcribed promoters. A double gene fusion was constructed in which the metE promoter directs expression of the Escherichia coli lacZ gene and the metR promoter directs expression of the E. coli galK gene. By using an E. coli strain lysogenized with a

15. Role of the liver-enriched transcription factor DBP in expression of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C6 gene.
The CYP2C6 gene becomes maximally transcriptionally activated in livers of postpubertal rats. We examined the role of upstream DNA and liver-specific transcription factors in regulation of this promoter by use of transient transfection of heterologous chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene constructs and vectors containing cDNAs encoding the liver-enriched t

16. Analysis of proteins binding to the proximal promoter region of two rat serine protease inhibitor genes.
The three serine protease inhibitor (SPI) rat genes expressed preferentially in liver share considerable structural features and, nonetheless, are transcriptionally regulated in completely different manners, more particularly after hypophysectomy or upon acute inflammation. DNase I footprinting and gel mobility shift analyses of the SPI 2.1 and 2.3 proximal

17. A mismatch recognition defect in colon carcinoma confers DNA microsatellite instability and a mutator phenotype.
We have analyzed spontaneous mutations in the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase gene of Chinese hamster clone B cells that exhibit a mutator phenotype because of defective mismatch binding. The mutator phenotype conferred increases in a limited number of mutational classes. The rates of transitions and most transversions were not significantly increased. The

18. The NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (icd) is nitrogen regulated in cyanobacteria.
NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+-IDH) activity and protein levels in crude extracts from the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 and the filamentous, dinitrogen-fixing Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 were determined under different nitrogen conditions. The highest NADP+-IDH activity and protein accumulation were found under dinitro

19. Novel upstream elements and the TATA-box region mediate preferential transcription from the uteroglobin promoter in endometrial cells.
To understand the mechanisms responsible for endometrium-specific expression of the uteroglobin gene, we have compared transcription from the uteroglobin promoter in a human endometrial cell line (Ishikawa) and in HeLa cells. In transient transfection experiments and in nuclear extracts, sequences from -395 to +14 of the uteroglobin gene are able to promote

20. Cell Division in Escherichia coli: Analysis of Double Mutants for Filamentation and Abnormal Septation of Deoxyribonucleic Acid-Less Cells
The link between chromosome termination, initiation of cell division, and choice of division sites was studied in Escherichia coli by preparing double mutants. Hybrid mutants containing div52-ts, a cell division initiation mutation, and min, mutations which affect the choice of division sites resulting in the septation of minicells, were characterized. The m

21. Characterization of a voltage-gated K+ channel beta subunit expressed in human heart.
Voltage-gated K+ channels are important modulators of the cardiac action potential. However, the correlation of endogenous myocyte currents with K+ channels cloned from human heart is complicated by the possibility that heterotetrameric alpha-subunit combinations and function-altering beta subunits exist in native tissue. Therefore, a variety of subunit inte

22. Identification of a major cis-acting DNA element controlling the bidirectionally transcribed penicillin biosynthesis genes acvA (pcbAB) and ipnA (pcbC) of Aspergillus nidulans.
The beta-lactam antibiotic penicillin is produced as a secondary metabolite by some filamentous fungi. In this study, the molecular regulation of the Aspergillus (Emericella) nidulans penicillin biosynthesis genes acvA (pcbAB) and ipnA (pcbC) was analyzed. acvA and ipnA are divergently oriented and separated by an intergenic region of 872 bp. Translational f

23. Identification of the DNA Binding Sites of PerA, the Transcriptional Activator of the bfp and per Operons in Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
The bundle-forming pilus (BFP) is an important virulence factor for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Genes involved in its biogenesis and regulation are tightly regulated by PerA (BfpT), a member of the AraC/XylS family of transcriptional regulators. The aim of this work was to purify PerA and determine its association with bfpA and perA (bfpT) regu

24. Global Analysis of Borrelia burgdorferi Genes Regulated by Mammalian Host-Specific Signals
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection that can lead to chronic, debilitating problems if not recognized or treated appropriately. Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, is maintained in nature by a complex enzootic cycle involving Ixodes ticks and mammalian hosts. Many previous studies support the notion that B. burgdorferi differentiall
