Members of the NF90/NFAR protein group are involved in the life cycle of a positive‐strand RNA virus
A major issue of current virology concerns the characterization of cellular proteins that operate as functional components of the viral multiplication process. Here we describe a group of host… Expand

PG490 (Triptolide) Cooperates with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α to Induce Apoptosis in Tumor Cells*
Progress in the treatment of solid tumors has been slow and sporadic. The efficacy of conventional chemotherapy in solid tumors is limited because tumors frequently have mutations in the p53 gene.… Expand

Cloning and expression of cyclosporin A- and FK506-sensitive nuclear factor of activated T-cells: NF45 and NF90.
Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells (NF-AT) is a crucial transcription factor required for T-cell expression of interleukin 2. Purified NF-AT contains 45-kDa and 90-kDa subunits (Corthésy, B., and… Expand

NF90 Regulates Cell Cycle Exit and Terminal Myogenic Differentiation by Direct Binding to the 3′-Untranslated Region of MyoD and p21WAF1/CIP1 mRNAs*
NF90 and splice variant NF110/ILF3/NFAR are double-stranded RNA-binding proteins that regulate gene expression. Mice with targeted disruption of NF90 were engineered. NF90(–/–) mice were born small… Expand

Purification by DNA affinity chromatography of two polypeptides that contact the NF-AT DNA binding site in the interleukin 2 promoter.
NF-AT is a lymphoid-specific transcription factor that is though to be largely responsible for determining the cell type-specific expression of the interleukin 2 (IL2) gene. Using two different… Expand

Radiation pneumonitis in mice: a severe injury model for pneumocyte engraftment from bone marrow.
OBJECTIVE To better understand the process by which pneumocytes can be derived from bone marrow cells, we investigated the in vivo kinetics of such engraftment following lethal irradiation. METHODS… Expand

Potassium Currents in Freshly Dissociated Uterine Myocytes from Nonpregnant and Late-Pregnant Rats
In freshly dissociated uterine myocytes, the outward current is carried by K+ through channels highly selective for K+. Typically, nonpregnant myocytes have rather noisy K+ currents; half of them… Expand

ADAR1 Interacts with NF90 through Double-Stranded RNA and Regulates NF90-Mediated Gene Expression Independently of RNA Editing
ABSTRACT The RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 modifies adenosines by deamination and produces A-to-I mutations in mRNA. ADAR1 was recently demonstrated to function in host defense and in embryonic… Expand
