Site-directed mutagenesis v1 [PDF]
, 2020 Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) as described here is used to introduce a mutation in the sequence of a plasmid of interest by PCR-based methods. Several different approaches have been previously reported, and also the generation of multiple mutations in a single step is possible.

Temporal and Cell‐Specific Regulation of Synaptic Homeostasis by the Chromatin Remodeler Chd1
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chd1, the Drosophila homologue of mammalian CHD2 ‐ a gene linked to autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, is required for synaptic homeostatic plasticity. Chd1 in glia is necessary for the rapid induction of synaptic homeostasis, whereas Chd1 in motoneurons, muscle, and glia is critical for long‐term maintenance.

Exploring Important Protein Interactions in the Mammalian Diaphanous-related Formins: A Closer Look at the Relationship between the Intracellular Skeletal Network and a Single Amino Acid Residue [PDF]
, 2006 The Diaphanous-related formin protein family plays a key role in intracellular cytoskeletal regulation. Due to their farreaching importance, these proteins must be highly regulated themselves.

High-Level Expression of Various Apolipoprotein (a) Isoforms by "Transferrinfection". The Role of Kringle IV Sequences in the Extracellular Association with Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
, 1994 Characterization of the assembly of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is of fundamental importance to understanding the biosynthesis and metabolism of this atherogenic lipoprotein. Since no established cell lines exist that express Lp(a) or apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.RNF213 is characterized as a dual‐functional antiviral effector. It directly mediates the degradation of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) while simultaneously activating the MDA5‐mediated innate immune signaling pathway. This coordinated response establishes a powerful host defense system against viral infection. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV)

Mutagenic and Spectroscopic Investigation of pH Dependent CooA DNA Binding [PDF]
, 2017 The carbon monoxide (CO) sensing heme protein, CooA, is a transcription factor which exists in several bacteria that utilize CO as an energy source. CooA positively regulates the expression of coo genes in the presence of CO such that the corresponding ...

LMO7 Suppresses Tumor‐Associated Macrophage Phagocytosis of Tumor Cells Through Degradation of LRP1
Advanced Science, EarlyView.LMO7 in tumor‐associated macrophages suppresses phagocytosis of tumor cells and limits cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltration, fostering tumor progression. Mechanistically, LMO7 mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of the phagocytic receptor LRP1, impairing its ability to engulf tumor cells and driving macrophages toward an antitumor phenotype ...
