Herpes simplex virus ICP27 protein directly interacts with the nuclear pore complex through NUP62, inhibiting host nucleocytoplasmic transport pathways [PDF]
, 2012 The herpes simplex virus ICP27 protein is important for the expression and nuclear export of viral mRNAs. Although several binding sites have been mapped along the ICP27 sequence for various RNA and protein partners including the transport receptor TAP ...

Protein A Mutants ofStaphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1971 Staphylococcus aureusCowan I was exposed to nitrosoguanidine or ethyl-methanesulfonate, and survivors were screened on nutrient agar plates containing rabbit anti-protein A serum for loss of protein A production. More than half of all protein A-deficient mutants also lacked nuclease, coagulase, alpha hemolysin, fibrinolysin, mannitol utilization, and ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Expansive evolution of the TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE gene family in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2012 Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar used as a reserve carbohydrate and stress protectant in a variety of organisms. While higher plants typically do not accumulate high levels of trehalose, they encode large families of putative trehalose biosynthesis genes.

Mutant p53: multiple mechanisms define biologic activity in cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2015 The functional importance of p53 as a tumor suppressor gene is evident through its pervasiveness in cancer biology. The p53 gene is the most commonly altered gene in human cancer; however, not all genetic alterations are biologically equivalent.

Selective processing and metabolism of disease-causing mutant prion proteins. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by aberrant metabolism of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). In genetic forms of these diseases, mutations in the globular C-terminal domain are hypothesized to favor the spontaneous ...

Malignant transformation by mutant Rel proteins
Trends in Genetics, 1991 A newly described family of transcriptional regulatory proteins, the Rel family, has recently been the subject of much interest. The Rel family includes proteins known to be important in Drosophila development, replication of HIV-1, oncogenesis and general transcriptional control.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Nuclear-localized subtype of end-binding 1 protein regulates spindle organization in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2010 End-binding 1 (EB1) proteins are evolutionarily conserved plus-end-tracking proteins that localize to growing microtubule plus ends where they regulate microtubule dynamics and interactions with intracellular targets.
