Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of ras gene mutations in human colorectal cancers

TL;DR: A combination of DNA hybridization analyses and tissue sectioning techniques demonstrate that ras gene mutations occur in over a third of human colorectal cancers, that most of the mutations are at codon 12 of the c-Ki-ras gene and that the mutations usually precede the development of malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein-primed RNA synthesis by purified poliovirus RNA polymerase

TL;DR: The identification of the internal ribosomal-entry site, which allows the entry of ribosomes into viral mRNA independently of the 5′ mRNA end, has been solved and it is shown that VPg can be uridylylated by the poliovirus RNA polymerase 3Dpol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino-acid substitutions at codon 13 of the N-ras oncogene in human acute myeloid leukaemia.

TL;DR: DNAs from four out of five patients with acute myeloid leukaemia tested by an in vivo selection assay in nude mice using transfected mouse NIH 3T3 cells were found to contain an activated N-ras oncogene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of an RNA hairpin in poliovirus RNA that serves as the primary template in the in vitro uridylylation of VPg

TL;DR: A small RNA hairpin has been discovered in the coding region of protein 2C as the site in PV1(M) RNA that is used as the primary template for the in vitro uridylylation of VPg.
Journal ArticleDOI

The conformation of neurotensin bound to its G protein-coupled receptor

TL;DR: The conformation of a high-affinity peptide agonist (neurotensin, NT) bound to its GPCR NTS-1, determined by direct structural methods is presented, providing a viable structural template for further pharmacological investigations.
