Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) constitute a set of polypeptides that contribute to mRNA transcription, pre-mRNA processing and mature mRNA...
Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and IRF-2 have been identified as novel DNA-binding factors that function as regulators of both type I interferon...
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates diverse cellular responses to external signals such as proliferation, ion transport, regulation of metabolism...
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that is ubiquitously expressed and has a broad range of pharmacologic effects. Specifically, it plays a role in the...
Histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS, Jo-1) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charges transfer RNAs (tRNAs) with a cognate histidine residue to produce...
EAR2 (v-erb-a avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog-like 2) protein binds a cis enhancer element (TGACCT motif) upstream of the rennin gene...
c-Myb is the cellular homolog of the leukemogenic avian retroviral protein v-Myc. c-Myb is expressed predominantly in immature and rapidly dividing...
DNA replication, recombination and repair, all of which are necessary for genomic stability, require the presence of exonucleases. In DNA replication, these...
Src-family kinases contain an amino terminal cell membrane anchor followed by an SH3 domain and an SH2 domain involved in modular association and activation,...
The Hox proteins play a role in development and cellular differentiation by regulating downstream target genes. Specifically, the Hox proteins direct...
High mobility group (HMG) proteins 1 and 2 are ubiquitous non-histone components of chromatin. Research suggests that the binding of HMG proteins to DNA...
Creatine kinase isoenzymes play a central role in energy transduction in tissues with large, fluctuating energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, heart,...
Cdc2, an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, is essential in the cell cycle transition from G2 to M phase. Cdc2 is regulated...
p53, a DNA-binding, oligomerization domain and transcription activation domain-containing tumor suppressor, upregulates growth arrest and apoptosisrelated...
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase catalyses the reversible condensation of glycerone-P and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate....
The SWI/SNF complex regulates gene expression via ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling. Brm (SNF2-a), Brg-1 (SNF2-b), Ini1 (integrase interactor 1, SNF5),...
The product of the oncogene PTTG, pituitary tumor transforming gene, is a human homolog of the anaphase-inhibitor vertebrate protein, securin. PTTG is a 22...
DNA topoisomerases are nuclear enzymes that regulate the topological structure of DNA by transiently breaking and rejoining DNA strands. Although DNA...
T-box transcription factors are a group of phylogenetically conserved genes that contain a uniquely defining DNA-binding domain, the T-box domain. These...
Gene amplification is associated with tumor stage and progression in human gliomas. Several amplified loci are identified and comprise multiple genes. The...
