P53 Binding Sites in Transposons [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 Repeated regions of the genome harbor more functional information than commonly assumed. Two decades ago, a highly influential paper describing the consensus binding site for the key transcription factor p53 was published in Nature Genetics by el-Deiry et al. (1992). Recently, it has been observed that many p53 binding sites are species-specific (Jegga

Cyclic nucleotide specificity of the activator and catalytic sites of a cGMP-stimulated cGMP phosphodiesterase from Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
, 1985 The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum has an intracellular phosphodiesterase which specifically hydrolyzes cGMP. The enzyme is activated by low cGMP concentrations, and is involved in the reduction of chemoattractant-mediated elevations of ...

Plant Hormone Binding Sites [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2004 Receptors for plant hormones are becoming identified with increasing rapidity, although a frustrating number remain unknown. There have also been many more hormone-binding proteins described than receptors. This Botanical Briefing summarizes what has been discovered about hormone binding sites, their discovery and descriptions, and will not dwell on ...
