Contamination of the environment with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a major health concern. The presence of estrogenic compounds in water and their deleterious effect are well documented.… (More)

Transcriptional activation as a rate-limiting step of gene expression is often triggered by an environmental stimulus that is transmitted through a signaling cascade to specific transcription… (More)
Eukaryotic chromosome segregation requires a protein complex known as the kinetochore that mediates attachment between mitotic spindle microtubules and centromere-specific nucleosomes composed of the… (More)
We have completed a robust high-content imaging screen for novel estrogen receptor α (ERα) agonists and antagonists by quantitation of cytoplasmic to nuclear translocation of an estrogen receptor… (More)
Accurate chromosome segregation is necessary to ensure genomic integrity. Segregation depends on the proper functioning of the centromere, kinetochore, and mitotic spindle microtubules and is… (More)
The mode of regulation of class II genes that lack the known core promoter elements is presently unclear. Here, we studied one such example, the murine CD80 gene. An unusual mechanism was revealed… (More)
Cell division with accurate chromosome segregation is fundamental to cell survival of all organisms. The precise molecular mechanisms that ensure accurate chromosome segregation are still being… (More)
We studied the regulation of murine CD80, a gene whose basal transcriptional status was characterized by the presence of a stalled RNA polymerase II complex on the promoter-proximal region.… (More)
Even though the presence of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with thyroid hormone (TH)-like activities in the environment is a major health concern, the methods for their efficient detection and… (More)
