A fat-specific enhancer is the primary determinant of gene expression for adipocyte P2 in vivo.
- S. Ross, R. A. Graves, +4 authors B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 1 December 1990
The murine gene for adipocyte P2 encodes an adipocyte-specific member of the family of intracellular lipid binding proteins. The region upstream from the start of transcription of this gene has been… Expand
Knock‐out mouse for Canavan disease: a model for gene transfer to the central nervous system

Canavan disease (CD) is an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy characterized by deficiency of aspartoacylase (ASPA) and increased levels of N‐acetylaspartic acid (NAA) in brain and body fluids, severe… Expand
Identification of a fat cell enhancer: Analysis of requirements for adipose tissue‐specific gene expression
- R. A. Graves, P. Tontonoz, K. Platt, S. Ross, B. Spiegelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of cellular biochemistry
- 1 July 1992
The molecular basis for adipose‐specific gene expression is not known. To approach the problem of adipocyte gene expression, we have analyzed in detail the capacity of the 5′‐flanking region of the… Expand
Mouse Gli 1 mutants are viable but have defects in SHH signaling in combination with a Gli 2 mutation
The developing embryo is dependent on numerous genetic interactions that specify cell fates within tissues and along the body axes. In recent years, a growing number of interesting mouse… Expand

- 1 September 1998
Ultrastructural features of Brassica napus tapetal cells during microsporogenesis from early microspore development through late maturation are described Emphasis is placed on the two major… Expand
Importance of the Fixative for Reliable Ultrastructural Preservation of Poikilohydric Plant Tissues. Observations on Dry, Partially, and Fully Hydrated Tissues ofSelaginella lepidophylla
- K. Platt, M. Oliver, W. W. Thomson

SummaryDry (7–10% water content) leaves of the spikemossSelaginella lepidophylla (“resurrection plant”) and of the desiccationtolerant moss,Tortula ruralis were examined by freeze fracture electron… Expand
Conservation of Cell Order in Desiccated Mesophyll of Selaginella lepidophylla ([Hook and Grev.] Spring)
- W. W. Thomson, K. Platt
- Biology
- 1 April 1997
Abstract Understanding of the basis of desiccation tolerance in mature plant tissues that survive extreme dehydration requires knowledge of the degree of cellular order in the dry state. Generally,… Expand
