Genetic variability in the precore and core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus strains in Karachi [PDF]
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have distinct geographic distribution. Moreover, much genetic variability has been described in the precore (PC) and basal core promoter (BCP) regions of the HBV genome.

Genetic variant in theHSPB1 promoter region impairs the HSP27 stress response [PDF]
The 27 kDa heat shock protein 1 (HSP27) is a member of the ubiquitously expressed small heat shock protein family and has pleiotropic cytoprotective functions. Since HSP27 may act as a motor neuron survival factor, we analyzed the genetic contribution of the human HSPB1 gene (HSPB1) to the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a cohort of

Clinical Implications of Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Transporter Promoter Region [PDF]
To determine the state of the art in understanding the role of genetic variation in the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) promoter region (5-HTTLPR) in the development of a depressive episode and in its response to treatment.PubMed and Ovid were used to search for articles published prior to December 2007 utilizing the key words serotonin transporter, 5 ...

Genetic analysis of the promoter region of the Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase gene [PDF]
The amyR2 allele of the Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase cis-regulatory region enhances production of amylase and transcription of amyE, the structural gene, by two- to threefold over amyR1. The amylase gene bearing each of these alleles was cloned on plasmids of about 10 to 15 copies per chromosome. Transcription of the cloned amylase gene by each amyR

Identification of Minimal p53 Promoter Region Regulated by MALAT1 in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells
The MALAT1 long noncoding RNA is strongly linked to cancer progression. Here we report a MALAT1 function in repressing the promoter of p53 (TP53) tumor suppressor gene.

Genetic Dissection of the Light-InduciblecarQRSPromoter Region ofMyxococcus xanthus [PDF]
ABSTRACTInMyxococcus xanthusphotoprotective carotenoids are produced in response to illumination due to regulated expression of carotenoid biosynthesis genes at two loci. Induction of the carotenogenesis regulon is dependent on expression of thecarQRSoperon.
