  • To address this, a single gene copy that produces APOBEC is integrated into the cell's genome and controlled by gene expression regulator doxycycline in order to determine how much APOBEC is produced. (cornellsun.com)
  • While most DNA is double stranded, the catalytic DNA Lu's research group uses has a single strand region that can wrap around like a protein. (nanowerk.com)
  • The genes for glycoprotein B (gB) (ORF33), glycoprotein 2 (gp2) (ORF71), and glycoprotein D (gD) (ORF72) were amplified by using primers specific for EHV-9. (cdc.gov)
  • We used PCR to amplify a part of the gB gene of the giraffe herpesvirus, and we used EHV-1 specific primers for sequencing. (cdc.gov)
  • The sequence of the 1,066-bp segment of the giraffe herpesvirus ORF30 gene was 99.5% identical to EHV-9 and 94.6% identical to EHV-1, which indicates that the giraffe herpesvirus was most closely related to EHV-9. (cdc.gov)
  • To search for the unique sequence of DNA that could distinguish uranyl from other metal ions, the researchers used a combinatorial approach called in vitro selection. (nanowerk.com)
  • Alteration (amplification or deletion) of TOP2A gene was also significantly related to shorter survival of cancer patients. (jcancer.org)
  • Significantly, we discovered that DNA-PKcs was associated with SIN1 in cytosol upon UVB radiation, and this complexation appeared required for Akt Ser-473 phosphorylation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A unique feature of our uranium sensor is that it contains a small piece of DNA, the same basic building blocks of our genes,' said Lu, who also is a researcher at the university's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, and at the Center of Advanced Materials for the Purification of Water with Systems.

  • Here, we used biolayer interferometry and pulldown assays to identify regions of RAG1 necessary for interaction with RAG2 and to measure the RAG1-RAG2 binding affinity (KD ∼0.4 μM) (where RAG1 and RAG2 are recombination activating genes 1 or 2). (nih.gov)
  • Mini-RAG1 consists primarily of the catalytic center and the residues N-terminal to it, but it lacks a zinc finger region in RAG1 previously implicated in binding RAG2. (nih.gov)
