Journal ArticleDOI

Construction of a retrovirus packaging mutant and its use to produce helper-free defective retrovirus

TL;DR: PMOV-psi- has a defect in the packaging of genomic RNA into virions but can provide in trans the products necessary for virion production, and can be used to produce helper-free stocks of natural or synthetic defective retroviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of DNA shape in protein–DNA recognition

TL;DR: These findings indicate that the ability to detect local variations in DNA shape and electrostatic potential is a general mechanism that enables proteins to use information in the minor groove, which otherwise offers few opportunities for the formation of base-specific hydrogen bonds, to achieve DNA-binding specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins of Specificity in Protein-DNA Recognition

TL;DR: This review provides a revised view of protein-DNA interactions that emphasizes the importance of the three-dimensional structures of both macromolecules and argues that individual DNA-binding proteins combine multiple readout mechanisms to achieve DNA- binding specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Swept confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy for high speed volumetric imaging of behaving organisms.

TL;DR: A new 3D microscopy technique that allows volumetric imaging of living samples at ultra-high speeds: Swept, confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy, demonstrated by imaging spontaneous neuronal firing in the intact brain of awake behaving mice, as well as freely moving transgenic Drosophila larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Segmental expression of Hoxb-1 is controlled by a highly conserved autoregulatory loop dependent upon exd/pbx

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro evidence is provided that r4 expression involves direct autoregulation dependent on cooperative interactions of Hoxb-1 with exd/pbx proteins as cofactors.
