Journal ArticleDOI

Factors involved in specific transcription by mammalian RNA polymerase II: role of transcription factors IIA, IID, and IIB during formation of a transcription-competent complex.

TL;DR: It is found that yeast and human TFIID yielded DAB complexes with different stabilities, and anti-TFIIB antibodies and reagents that affect the stability of a transcription-competent complex are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

The recombination signal sequence-binding protein RBP-2N functions as a transcriptional repressor.

TL;DR: Inhibition of transcription by RBP-2N was dependent on its DNA recognition site and was demonstrated in vitro and in vivo, and this repression appears to be general, as transcription mediated by SP1 and Gal4/VP16 was inhibited by RB p2N.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAG-1 interacts with the repeated amino acid motif of the human homologue of the yeast protein SRP1.

TL;DR: By the use of the two-hybrid protein interaction system, a human protein that specifically interacts with RAG-1 is isolated, which is the human homologue of the yeast SRP1 (suppressor of a temperature-sensitive RNA polymerase I mutation).
Journal ArticleDOI

Andrographolide interferes with binding of nuclear factor-κB to DNA in HL-60-derived neutrophilic cells

TL;DR: It is concluded that andrographolide exerts its anti‐inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF‐κB binding to DNA, and thus reducing the expression of proinflammatory proteins, such as COX‐2.
