DNA damage response genes play vital roles in the maintenance of a healthy genome. Defects in cell cycle checkpoint and DNA repair genes, especially mutation or aberrant downregulation, are… (More)
We report here the structure-functional characterization of a novel intronless gene, BRCC2, located on human chromosome 11q24.1. BRCC2 open reading frame (327 bp) codes for an approximately 12-kDa… (More)
Raf-1 serine/threonine protein kinase plays an important role in cell survival, proliferation, and migration; however, the specific targets of Raf-1 in diverse cellular processes are not clearly… (More)
Rad9 plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability by regulating cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, telomere stability, and apoptosis. Rad9 controls these processes mainly as part of the… (More)
The cDNA encoding rat brain cytosolic acyl-CoA thioester hydrolase (ACT) has been cloned and sequenced, and the primary structure of the enzyme has been deduced. A partial amino acid sequence (38… (More)
Raf-1 protein serine/threonine kinase plays an important role in ERK signal transduction pathway of cell survival and proliferation. Raf-induced transcriptional changes are dependent on… (More)
Rat brain cytosolic acyl-CoA hydrolase has been purified 3,500-fold to apparent homogeneity using heat treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction,… (More)
Rad9 as part of the Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 complex is known to participate in cell cycle checkpoint activation and DNA repair. However, Rad9 can act as a sequence-specific transcription factor, modulating… (More)
In the event of an improvised nuclear device detonation, the prompt radiation exposure would consist of photons plus a neutron component that would contribute to the total dose. As neutrons cause… (More)
SCC-S2/GG2-1/NDED is a recently discovered antiapoptotic molecule induced by the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB. Here we have examined a role of SCC-S2 in cell growth regulation in… (More)
