Thermodynamics Of Oligoarginines Binding To Rna And Dna., David Mascotti, Timothy Lohman

David P. Mascotti

These results suggest that hydrogen bonding of arginine to the phosphate backbone of the nucleic acids contributes to the increased stability of these complexes.

The Pax-5 Gene Is Alternatively Spliced During B-Cell Development, Patty Zwollo, Hector Arrieta, Kaleo Ede, Karen Molinder, Stephen Desiderio, Roberta Pollock

Roberta Pollock

The transcription factor Pax-5 is expressed during the early stages of B-cell differentiation and influences the expression of several B-cell-specific genes. In addition to the existing isoform (Pax-5, which we have named Pax-5a), we have isolated three new isoforms, Pax-5b, Pax-5d, and Pax-5e, from murine spleen and B-lymphoid cell lines using library screenings and polymerase chain reaction amplification. Isoforms Pax-5b and Pax-5e have spliced out their second exon, resulting in proteins with only a partial DNA-binding domain. Isoforms Pax-5d and Pax-5e have deleted the 3′-region, which encodes the transactivating domain, and replaced it with a novel sequence. The existence of …

Genetic Analysis Of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis, David W. Bollivar, Jon Y. Suzuki, Carl E. Bauer

David Bollivar

During this decade, there have been major advancements in the understanding of genetic loci involved in synthesis of the family of Mg-tetrapyrroles known as chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. Molecular genetic analysis of Mg-tetrapyrrole biosynthesis was initiated by the performance of detailed sequence and mutational analysis of the photosynthesis gene cluster from Rhodobacter capsulatus. These studies provided the first detailed understanding of genes involved in bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis. In the short time since these studies were initiated, most of the chlorophyll biosynthesis genes have been identified by virtue of their ability to complement bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis mutants as well as by sequence …
