Cloning of complementary DNA encoding a functional human interleukin-8 receptor.
Science, 1991 Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is an inflammatory cytokine that activates neutrophil chemotaxis, degranulation, and the respiratory burst. Neutrophils express receptors for IL-8 that are coupled to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins); binding of IL-8 ...

The process of infection with bacteriophage phiX174, XXX. Replication of double-stranded phiX DNA [PDF]
, 1969 Intermediates involved in the replication of double-stranded phiX174 RF DNA have been identified and partially characterized. Analysis of pulse-labeled RF DNA suggests that the synthesis of progeny RF molecules involves, in part, the addition of ...

Bubble propagation in a helicoidal molecular chain
, 2000 We study the propagation of very large amplitude localized excitations in a model of DNA that takes explicitly into account the helicoidal structure. These excitations represent the ``transcription bubble'', where the hydrogen bonds between complementary

Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Non-homologous DNA end joining in normal and cancer cells and its dependence on break structures
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a serious threat to the cell, for if not or miss-repaired, they can lead to chromosomal aberration, mutation and cancer.

Experimental validation of determinants of UV sensitivity using synthetic DNA
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2022 Treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light has been shown to be effective for disinfection of pathogens. For pathogenic risk management, it would be effective to estimate the UV sensitivity of unknown pathogenic microorganisms from their nucleotide sequences.

Kernel Code for DNA Digital Data Storage [PDF]
International Journal of Bio-Inspired computation, 2023, 2023 The biggest challenge when using DNA as a storage medium is maintaining its stability. The relative occurrence of Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) is essential for the longevity of DNA. In addition to that, reverse complementary base pairs should not be present in the code. These challenges are overcome by a proper choice of group homomorphisms. Algorithms

Method of identifying inhibitors of glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene expression [PDF]
, 1999 Complementary DNA and genomic clones for three variants of GST-.pi. are disclosed. It is demonstrated that certain of these variants are overexpressed in gliomas, thereby indicating an involvement with that form of cancer.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2016 We have developed a novel gene detection method based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction and the DNA dissociation reaction on the same DNA chip surface to achieve a lower detection limit, broader dynamic range and faster ...
