Overexpression of HAM1 gene detoxifies 5-bromodeoxyuridine in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is known to modulate expression of particular genes, and eventually arrest cell division in mammalian and yeast cells. To study a molecular basis for these phenomena, we adopted a ge...

Structural analysis of BAG1 cochaperone and its interactions with Hsc70 heat shock protein
BAG-family proteins share a conserved protein interaction region, called the 'BAG domain', which binds and regulates Hsp70/Hsc70 molecular chaperones. This family of cochaperones functionally regulates signal ...

Co-expression of bcl-2 and bag-1, apoptosis suppressing genes, prolonged viable culture period of hybridoma and enhanced antibody production
Human bcl-2 and bag-1 DNA were introduced into mouse hybridoma 2E3- O cells and expressed. The expression of bcl-2 in BCMGneo-bcl2 transfectants was confirmed by ELISA and that of bag-1 in pZeo-bag1 was confir...

Anti-apoptotic genes, bag-1 and bcl-2, enabled hybridoma cells to survive under treatment for arresting cell cycle
Hybridoma 2E3-O cells were transfected with bcl-2 alone or with bcl-2 and bag-1 in combination. The bcl-2/bag-1 transfectant survived maintaining viability above 75% for almost 5 days when the cells were treat...

Establishing apoptosis resistant cell lines for improving protein productivity of cell culture
The authors established apoptosis resistant COS–1, myeloma, hybridoma, and Friend leukemia cell lines by genetically engineering cells, aiming at more efficient protein production by cell culture. COS–1 cells,...
