Synthesis of secreted and membrane-bound immunoglobulin mu heavy chains is directed by mRNAs that differ at their 3' ends.

TL;DR: It was shown that the 3′ ends of the two μ mRNAs do not cross-hybridize, and apparently two separate 3′ terminal sequences for μ mRNA are encoded in the genome, one that specifies an amino acid sequence appropriate for membrane-binding and a second that is involved in secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein-binding sites in Ig gene enhancers determine transcriptional activity and inducibility

TL;DR: Individual protein-binding sites within the mouse immunoglobulin heavy chain and kappa light chain gene enhancers were altered, making it possible to examine the functional role of the sites during transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-to-cell spread of HIV permits ongoing replication despite antiretroviral therapy

TL;DR: Examination of replication from cell-to-cell spread in the presence of clinical drug concentrations using a stochastic infection model finds that replication is intermittent, without substantial accumulation of mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of RNA recombination in poliovirus.

TL;DR: The results strongly support a copy choice mechanism for RNA recombination, in which the viral RNA polymerase switches templates during negative strand synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian Ryk Is a Wnt Coreceptor Required for Stimulation of Neurite Outgrowth

TL;DR: It is reported that mammalian Ryk, unlike the Drosophila Ryk homolog Derailed, functions as a coreceptor along with Frizzled for Wnt ligands, providing a link between Wnt and Dishevelled.
