hEST2, the Putative Human Telomerase Catalytic Subunit Gene, Is Up-Regulated in Tumor Cells and during Immortalization
Matthew Meyerson,Christopher M. Counter,Elinor Ng Eaton,Leif W. Ellisen,Philipp Steiner,Stephanie Dickinson Caddle,Liuda Ziaugra,Roderick L. Beijersbergen,Michael J. Davidoff,Qingyun Liu,Silvia Bacchetti,Daniel A. Haber,Robert A. Weinberg +12 more
TL;DR: The cloning of a human gene, hEST2, that shares significant sequence similarity with the telomerase catalytic subunit genes of lower eukaryotes is reported, suggesting that the induction of hEST 2 mRNA expression is required for the telomersase activation that occurs during cellular immortalization and tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Urotensin II as the Endogenous Ligand for the Orphan G-Protein-Coupled Receptor GPR14
Qingyun Liu,Sheng Shung Pong,Zhizhen Zeng,Qing Zhang,Andrew D. Howard,David L. Williams,Michael J. Davidoff,Ruiping Wang,Christopher P. Austin,Terrence P. McDonald,Chang Bai,Susan R. George,Jilly F. Evans,C. Thomas Caskey +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GPR14 is a high affinity receptor for UII and designated it UII-R1a, and the identification of the first receptor will allow better understanding of the physiological and pharmacological roles of UII.
Journal ArticleDOI
