    MDM2 SNP309 accelerates breast and ovarian carcinogenesis in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers of Jewish–Ashkenazi descent

    A functional single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter of the MDM2 gene, SNP309 (T>G), was recently found to accelerate tumorigenesis in early onset cancer cases. The SNP309 G-allele, introduces an SP1 si...

    Novel class of nuclear genes involved in both mRNA splicing and protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria

    We have cloned three distinct nuclear genes, NAM1, NAM7, and NAM8, which alleviate mitochondrial intron mutations of the cytochrome b and COXI (subunit I of cytochrome oxidase) genes when present on multicopy pla...

    Attenuation in the Control of Gene Expression in Animal Viruses

    Viral structural proteins self-assemble to produce the capsid of the virion. For an efficient self-assembly process the structural proteins should be synthesized in optimal amounts. This could be accomplished ...
