Book ChapterDOI
Secreted placental alkaline phosphatase as a eukaryotic reporter gene.
Bryan R. Cullen,Michael H. Malim +1 more
TL;DR: The SEAP gene has several advantages when compared to CAT or to other prevalent reporter genes, including very high stability, efficient secretion by all cells tested, and the availability of a simple, inexpensive, and highly quantitative assay that does not require any unusual equipment or reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rev and the fate of pre-mRNA in the nucleus: implications for the regulation of RNA processing in eukaryotes.
Michael H. Malim,Bryan R. Cullen +1 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the cellular factors responsible for the nuclear retention of unspliced pre-mRNAs, although most probably splicing factors, do not invariably commit these RNAs to productive splicing and can, instead, program such transcripts for degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viruses and microRNAs: RISCy interactions with serious consequences
TL;DR: The current understanding of how viral miRNAs influence viral replication and pathogenesis is reviewed and how viruses reshape the pattern of cellular miRNA expression is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The HIV-1 Tat protein: an RNA sequence-specific processivity factor?
TL;DR: The pathogenic human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs) encode two small nuclear regulatory proteins, termed Tat and Rev, that are essential for viral replication in HIV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing and confirming the specificity of RNAi experiments.
TL;DR: The potential pitfalls associated with RNAi are reviewed, and experimental approaches that can be used to maximize the specificity of RNAi or to confirm that the data obtained are indeed valid are suggested.
