Around 3% of the genome consists of simple DNA repeats that are prone to forming
alternative (non-B) DNA structures, such as hairpins, cruciforms, triplexes (H-DNA), four …

Five structural features in mRNAs have been found to contribute to the fidelity and efficiency
of initiation by eukaryotic ribosomes. Scrutiny of vertebrate cDNA sequences in light of these …

The structural behaviour of repetitive cytosine DNA is examined in the oiigodeoxynucieotide
sequences of (CCCTAA) 3 CCCT (HTC4), GC (TCCC) 3 TCCT (TCCC) 3 (KRC6) and the …

The human antigen defined by the monoclonal antibody Ki‐67, the 'Ki‐67 protein', is an
ubiquitously expressed human nuclear protein strictly associated with cell proliferation and …

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) expresses a unique series of RNA molecules, the
latency-associated transcripts or LATs, during latent infection of neuronal tissues. Previous …

Expression of nerve growth factor receptor is normally restricted to cells derived from the
neural crest in a developmentally regulated manner. We analyzed promoter sequences for …

The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA, cyclin) was originally defined as a nuclear
protein whose appearance correlated with the proliferative state of the cell. It is now known …

We have identified a sequence element that specifies the position of transcription initiation
for the dihydrofolate reductase gene. Unlike the functionally analogous TATA box that …

To gain insight into the normal controls mediating expression of the c-Ki-ras protooncogene,
we have identified DNA sequence elements within its promoter that are essential for …

Aldosterone (Aldo) stimulates glomerular mesangial cell (MC) proliferation, in part, through
an ERK1/2-dependent pathway. In this study, we examined whether Aldo activation of …
