Transcription regulatory elements of the avian retroviral long terminal repeat
The U3 long terminal repeat (LTR) region of the avian retroviruses has been extensively characterized as a model of a strong transcription regulatory unit. This com- pact enhancer and promoter drives high levels of viral and cellular gene transcription in many cell types in ...

Sequence and Repeat Structure Variants in the Long Terminal Repeat of Maedi-Visna Virus EV1
Diversity in the LTR of maedi-visna virus strain EV1 has been examined by PCR-based gene amplification using DNA from infected cells both in vitro and in experimentally infected animals. In vitro, several variant structures were found in the U3 regions of the LTR which contained repeats of sequences including presumed AP-1 and AP-4 binding sites ...

This work presents the characterization of MvoDUF2193, a Methanococcus voltae (Mvo) protein from the domain of unknown function (DUF) 2193 family. We demonstrate that MvoDUF2193 binds a single [4Fe–4S] cluster per subunit and that cluster occupancy regulates the transition from an apo tetramer to a [4Fe–4S] monomeric form. This structural transition is

Further Evidence for the Protein Coding Potential of the Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Long Terminal Repeat: Nucleotide Sequence of an Endogenous Proviral Long Terminal Repeat [PDF]
The 3′ half of an endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus from a C3H mouse was cloned in the Charon 4A vector phage. A comparison of the proviral clone with previously published endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus restriction maps identified it as endogenous unit II (J. Cohen and H.

MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for

Loss of the frequently mutated chromatin remodeler ARID1A, a subunit of the SWI/SNF cBAF complex, results in less open chromatin, alternative splicing, and the failure to stop cells from progressing through the cell cycle after DNA damage in bladder (cancer) cells. Created in BioRender. Epigenetic regulators, such as the SWI/SNF complex, with important

The Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons Tf1 and Tf2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
ABSTRACT The long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons Tf1 and Tf2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe are active mobile elements of the Ty3/gypsy family. The mobilization of these retrotransposons depends on particle formation, reverse transcription and integration, processes typical of other LTR ...

Chronic TGF‐β exposure drives epithelial HCC cells from a senescent state to a TGF‐β resistant mesenchymal phenotype. This transition is characterized by the loss of Smad3‐mediated signaling, escape from senescence, enhanced invasiveness and metastatic potential, and upregulation of key resistance modulators such as MARK1 and GRM8, ultimately promoting

Alectinib resistance in ALK+ NSCLC depends on treatment sequence and EML4‐ALK variants. Variant 1 exhibited off‐target resistance after first‐line treatment, while variant 3 and later lines favored on‐target mutations. Early resistance involved off‐target alterations, like MET and NF2, while on‐target mutations emerged with prolonged therapy.
