- Chromatin modifications play important roles in cellular biological process. A novel conserved domain family, YEATS, has been discovered in a variety of eukaryotic species ranging from yeasts to humans. Taf14, which is i...
- Assembly states of the nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP-1) revealed by sedimentation velocity and non-denaturing MS
[作者:Noda, M; Uchiyama, S; McKay, AR; Morimoto, A; Misawa, S; Yoshida, A; Shimahara, H; Takinowaki, H; Nakamura, S; Kobayashi, Y; Matsunaga, S; Ohkubo, T; Robinson, CV; Fukui, K,期刊:Biochemical Journal, 页码:101-112 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年436-Part 1]
- Proteins often exist as ensembles of interconverting states in solution which are often difficult to quantify. In the present manuscript we show that the combination of MS under non-denaturing conditions and AUC-SV (anal...
- Adhesion-dependent Skp2 transcription requires selenocysteine tRNA gene transcription-activating factor (STAF)
[作者:Hernandez-Negrete, I; Sala-Newby, GB; Perl, A; Kunkel, GR; Newby, AC; Bond, M,期刊:Biochemical Journal, 页码:133-143 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年436-Part 1]
- Cell adhesion is essential for cell cycle progression in most normal cells. Loss of adhesion dependence is a hallmark of cellular transformation. The F-box protein Skp2 (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2) controls G(1)...
