Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11751919
'Although PGC-1 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1) has been previously shown to enhance thyroid hormone receptor (TR)/retinoid X receptor-mediated ucp-1 gene expression in a ligand-induced manner in rat fibroblast cells, the precise mechanism of PGC-1 modulation of TR function has yet to be determined. In this study, we show that PGC-1 ... More
Cloning and characterization of a cell surface receptor for xenotropic and polytropic murine leukemia viruses [see comments]
Authors:Tailor CS, Nouri A, Lee CG, Kozak C, Kabat D
Journal:Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
PubMed ID:9927670
'Xenotropic and polytropic murine leukemia viruses (X-MLVs and P-MLVs) cross-interfere to various extents in non-mouse species and in wild Asian mice, suggesting that they might use a common receptor for infection. Consistent with this hypothesis, the susceptibility of some wild mice to X-MLVs has been mapped to the P-MLV receptor ... More
NF-Y is associated with the histone acetyltransferases GCN5 and P/CAF.
Authors:Currie RA
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9430679
'The ubiquitous transcription factor, NF-Y, plays a pivotal role in the cell cycle regulation of the mammalian cyclin A, cdc25C, and cdc2 genes, in the S-phase activation of the ribonucleotide reductase R2 gene, in addition to its critical role as a key proximal promoter factor in the transcriptional regulation of ...

Upstream stimulatory factors binding to an E box motif in the R region of the bovine leukemia virus long terminal repeat stimulates viral gene expression.
Authors: Calomme Claire; Nguyen Thi Lien-Anh; de Launoit Yvan; Kiermer Veronique; Droogmans Louis; Burny Arsene; Van Lint Carine;
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11741930
'The bovine leukemia virus (BLV) promoter is located in its 5''-long terminal repeat and is composed of the U3, R, and U5 regions. BLV transcription is regulated by cis-acting elements located in the U3 region, including three 21-bp enhancers required for transactivation of the BLV promoter by the virus-encoded transactivator ...

Visualization of agonist-induced sequestration and down-regulation of a green fluorescent protein-tagged beta2-adrenergic receptor.
Authors:Kallal L, Gagnon AW, Penn RB, Benovic JL
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9417083
'To date, the visualization of beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) trafficking has been largely limited to immunocytochemical analyses of acute internalization events of epitope-tagged receptors in various transfection systems. The development of a beta2AR conjugated with green fluorescent protein (beta2AR-GFP) provides the opportunity for a more extensive optical analysis of beta2AR sequestration, ... More
