Transcription initiation factor TFIID plays a central role in transcriptional regulation. Drosophila TFIID is a multimeric protein consisting of the TATA box-binding polypeptide (TBP) and a number of
We have recorded electrical activity from two identified synaptically coupled mechanosensory interneurons in the abdominal nervous system of the crayfish Orconectes limosus and have studied their resp
The adenovirus major late transcription unit accounts for most virus-specific transcription late after infection. All mRNAs expressed from this unit carry a short spliced leader, the so-called tripart
Selenium has been increasingly recognized as an essential element in biology and medicine. Its biochemistry resembles that of sulfur, yet differs from it by virtue of both redox potentials and stabili
Tyr-SV40E transgenic mice are specifically susceptible to melanoma due to expression of the oncogene in pigment cells. Mice of the more susceptible lines die young of early-onset eye melanomas, when s
