Investigating the functionality of an OCT4-short response element in human induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
Pluripotent stem cells offer great therapeutic promise for personalized treatment platforms for numerous injuries, disorders, and diseases. Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) is a key regulatory gene maintaining pluripotency and self-renewal ...

The Mechanism of Resistance to Puromycin and to the Puromycin-precursor O-Demethyl-puromycin in Streptomyces alboniger [PDF]
Ribosomes from Streptomyces alboniger are sensitive in vitro to puromycin and, to a lesser extent, to the puromycin-precursor O-demethyl-puromycin. The puromycin-inactivating enzyme (puromycin N-acetyltransferase) from S. alboniger also N-acetylates O-demethyl-puromycin.

Transport of Cytoplasmically Synthesized Proteins into the Mitochondria in a Cell Free System from Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Synthesis and transport of mitochondrial proteins were followed in a cell-free homogenate of Neurospora crassa in which mitochondrial translation was inhibited. Proteins synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes are transferred into the mitochondrial fraction.

Puromycin Sensitivity of Ribosomal Label after Incorporation of 14C-Labelled Amino Acids into Isolated Mitochondria from Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Radioactive amino acids were incorporated into isolated mitochondria from Neurospora crassa. Then the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated and submitted to density gradient centrifugation. A preferential labelling of polysomes was observed.

Nourseothricin N-acetyl transferase: a positive selection marker for mammalian cells. [PDF]
Development of Nourseothricin N-acetyl transferase (NAT) as a selection marker for mammalian cells is described. Mammalian cells are acutely susceptible to Nourseothricin, similar to the widely used drug Puromycin, and NAT allows for quick and robust ...

Molecular Weight Distribution of Proteins Synthesized in Single, Identified Neurons of Aplysia [PDF]
Parietovisceral ganglia from Aplysia californica were incubated in medium containing leucine-3H. Single, identified nerve cell somas were isolated from the ganglia, and their proteins extracted and separated by electrophoresis on 5% SDS-polyacrylamide ...
