Simple Procedure for Creation of In-Frame Deletion Mutations Throughout an Open Reading Frame
A general method is presented for randomly mutagenizing open reading frames (ORF) to generate in-frame deletions and insertions. Theprotocol requires expression of the ORF of interest as a hybrid ORF-β-galactosidase fusion protein.

The suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 protein (SOCS-1) belongs to a novel family of cytokine inducible factors which function as inhibitors of the JAK/STAT pathway. While SOCS-1 previously has been described as a single-exon gene, here we present evidence for an additional 5' exon, separated by a 509 bp intron from exon 2.

We have developed a novel vector, pTCS, as a tool for efficient selection of open reading frame (ORF)-containing inserts. In pTCS clones containing an insert with an ORF, a downstream marker gene (immE3, conferring resistance to colicin) is activated via

A Coding Sequence-Embedded Principle Governs Translational Reading Frame Fidelity
Upon initiation at a start codon, the ribosome must maintain the correct reading frame for hundreds of codons in order to produce functional proteins. While some sequence elements are able to trigger programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF), very little ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates LST1 expression during monocyte differentiation. [PDF]
The regulation of gene expression depends on the interplay of multiple factors at the transcriptional and translational level. Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) play an important role as translational repressors of main ORFs and their presence or ...

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptides in Diabetes and Its Complications
The changes of mitochondrial function are closely related to diabetes and its complications. Here we describe the effects of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), short peptides formed by transcription and translation of the open reading frame site in ...

Inhibition of Host Gene Expression by KSHV: Sabotaging mRNA Stability and Nuclear Export
Viruses are known for their ability to alter host gene expression. Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus has two proteins that obstruct host gene expression.

Selecting Open Reading Frames From DNA [PDF]
We describe a method to select DNA encoding functional open reading frames (ORFs) from noncoding DNA within the context of a specific vector. Phage display has been used as an example, but any system requiring DNA encoding protein fragments, for example, the yeast two-hybrid system, could be used.
