• Important cis-regulatory sequences were identified within this promoter region including a functionally responsive PDX-1 element, a cyclic AMP responsive element, and three cis elements termed GTI, GTII and GTIII (3,36,53). (justia.com)
  • When tested in vitro, IB1 bound specifically to the GTII cis element of the GLUT2 gene and to an homologous regulatory sequence of the insulin promoter termed RIPE3. (justia.com)
  • If so, m(5)C residue constitutes a mutational hotspot position, whether it occurs within a nucleotide sequence of a structural gene or a regulatory region. (cnrs.fr)
  • One hundred sixteen patients with classical and atypical RTT were studied for mutations of the MeCP2 gene by using DHPLC and direct sequencing. (neurology.org)
  • Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, we show significant increase in COX-2, 5-LOX, and EGFR expression during PDAC progression. (oncotarget.com)
  • 8 The MeCP2 protein, initially characterized by its ability to bind single methylated CG nucleotides, 9 plays a significant role in the transcriptional silencing of genes. (neurology.org)
  • In a single nucleotide gap, the dG-FAF adduct adopts both a major-groove- oriented and base-displaced stacked conformation, and this heterogeneity is retained upon binding pol β. (nih.gov)
  • For pol β, the insertion of dCTP was preferred opposite the dG-FAF adduct in a single nucleotide gap assay consistent with (19)F NMR data. (nih.gov)
  • We used the excision repair sequencing (XR-seq) method to map EdU repair in the human genome at single-nucleotide resolution and observed that EdU was excised throughout the genome and was subject to transcription-coupled repair as evidenced by higher repair rates in the transcribed strand (TS) relative to the nontranscribed strand (NTS) in transcriptionally active genes.
