Fusion of Sendai virus with the target cell membrane is required for T cell cytotoxicity [PDF]
INFECTION of mice with viruses can generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which show restricted specificity for target cell lysis. Specific lysis requires that the virus used to prime the target cells must be of the same type as that used to sensitise ...

Over-expression of a chimeric gene of the transcriptional co-activator MBF1 fused to the EAR repressor motif causes developmental alteration in Arabidopsis and tomato [PDF]
Transcriptional co-activators of the Multiprotein Bridging Factor1 (MBF1) type belong to a multigenic family that encode key components of the machinery controlling gene expression by communicating between transcription factors and the basal ...

Uncovering the Localization and Function of a Novel Read-Through Transcript ‘TOMM40-APOE’
Recent advancements in genome analysis technology have revealed the presence of read-through transcripts in which transcription continues by skipping the polyA signal. We here identified and characterized a new read-through transcript, TOMM40-APOE.

ROCK signalling induced gene expression changes in mouse pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells [PDF]
The RhoA and RhoC GTPases act via the ROCK1 and ROCK2 kinases to promote actomyosin contraction, resulting in directly induced changes in cytoskeleton structures and altered gene transcription via several possible indirect routes.

A connection between stress and development in the multicelular prokaryote Streptomyces coelicolor [PDF]
Morphological changes leading to aerial mycelium formation and sporulation in the mycelial bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor rely on establishing distinct patterns of gene expression in separate regions of the colony.

Spine fusion by gene therapy [PDF]
Over 250 000 patients each year undergo a spine fusion procedure in the US. This constitutes 50% of all bone graft procedures. Despite best efforts, a large percentage of spine fusions (up to 35%) fail to form a solid bony arthrodesis. This is a significant clinical problem and has led to research in bone formation biology to augment spine fusion rates.
