Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of beta-carotene 15,15′-monooxygenase as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor target gene
Ana Boulanger,Pamela McLemore,Neal G. Copeland,Debra J. Gilbert,Nancy A. Jenkins,Shirley Yu,Susan Gentleman,T. Michael Redmond +7 more
TL;DR: PPAR is a key transcription factor for the transcriptional regulation of the Bcm gene, suggesting a broader function for PPARs in the regulation of carotenoid metabolism metabolism that is consistent with their established role in neutral lipid metabolism and transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nkx3.1, a murine homolog of Drosophila bagpipe, regulates epithelial ductal branching and proliferation of the prostate and palatine glands
TL;DR: Results indicate that Nkx3.1 plays a critical role in epithelial branching and proliferation in the prostate and palatine glands, however, prostate cancer in homozygous mutant mice up to 2 years of age is not observed, and involvement of NKX3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and characterization of two vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila eyes absent gene.
John E. Zimmerman,Quang T. Bui,Eiríkur Steingrímsson,Deborah L. Nagle,Deborah L. Nagle,Weili Fu,Anna Genin,Nancy B. Spinner,Neal G. Copeland,Nancy A. Jenkins,Maja Bucan,Nancy M. Bonini +11 more
TL;DR: The analysis of two human and two mouse homologs of the fly eya gene supports the notion that several families of genes play related and critical roles in the eye for both files and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Unconventional MYO6, the Human Homologue of the Gene Responsible for Deafness in Snell's Waltzer Mice
Karen B. Avraham,Tama Hasson,Tama Sobe,Binaifer R. Balsara,Joseph R. Testa,Anne B. Skvorak,Cynthia C. Morton,Neal G. Copeland,Nancy A. Jenkins +8 more
TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of the human unconventional myosin VI (locus designation, MYO6) cDNA is reported, which makes this gene an excellent candidate for a human deafness disorder.
Journal Article
Expression cloning of a cDNA encoding a novel murine B cell activation marker. Homology to human CD38.
N Harada,Leopoldo Santos-Argumedo,R Chang,J C Grimaldi,Frances E. Lund,C. I. Brannan,Neal G. Copeland,Nancy A. Jenkins,A W Heath,R. M. E. Parkhouse +9 more
TL;DR: Northern blot analysis of the expression of this cDNA product in a variety of cell types, together with immunoprecipitation of the recombinant protein expressed in BaF3 cells, indicated that I-19 cDNA encodes not only the epitope recognized by NIM-R5 but also a protein that is indistinguishable biochemically and in terms of distribution from the murine B cell activation marker recognized by MAb.
