A complex of Drosha with DGCR8 (or its homolog Pasha) cleaves primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) substrates into precursor miRNA and initiates the microRNA maturation process. Drosha provides the catalytic… (More)
In eukaryotic replication licensing, Cdt1 plays a key role by recruiting the MCM2-7 complex onto the origin of chromosome. The C-terminal domain of mouse Cdt1 (mCdt1C), the most conserved region in… (More)
We report quantitative results on interactions between a tumor suppressor protein, p53, also known as a prognostic cancer marker, and its antibody. The p53 antibody molecules immobilized on an… (More)
The initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication requires the tightly controlled assembly of a set of replication factors. Mcm10 is a highly conserved nuclear protein that plays a key role in the… (More)
Werner syndrome is a premature aging disease caused by mutations in the WS gene and a deficiency in the function of Werner protein (WRN). The lack of WRN results in a cellular phenotype of genomic… (More)
Identification of a novel biomarker of subclinical lymph node metastasis (SLNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) could provide important clues regarding SLNM in PTMC. We evaluated the… (More)
