Repetitive zinc‐binding domains in the protein transcription factor IIIA from Xenopus oocytes.

TL;DR: Analysis of the amino acid sequence reveals nine tandem similar units, each consisting of approximately 30 residues and containing two invariant pairs of cysteines and histidines, the most common ligands for zinc in the 7S particle of Xenopus laevis oocytes, which suggests that the protein contains repetitive zinc‐binding domains.

The sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome encodes a finger protein

TL;DR: The possibility that the Y-encoded finger protein is the testis-determining factor is discussed, and models of sex determination accommodating the finding of a related locus on the X chromosome are proposed.

The protein product of the fragile X gene, FMR1, has characteristics of an RNA-binding protein.

TL;DR: It is found that FMR1 contains two types of sequence motifs recently found in RNA-binding proteins: an RGG box and two heterogeneous nuclear RNP K homology domains and the RNA binding activity of FMR 1 opens the way to understanding the function of F MR1.

Mechanism of activation of early viral transcription by the adenovirus E1A gene product

TL;DR: It was found that early transcription could be detected in mutant-infected cells if the virus was added to cells in which protein synthesis was inhibited prior to infection, and it was proposed that the role of the E1A gene product in the activation of early viral transcription is to inactivate a cellular factor that prevents transcription from the early viral promoters.

Enhanced autoradiographic detection of 32P and 125I using intensifying screens and hypersensitized film

TL;DR: This paper reports that autoradiographic sensitivity can be greatly increased for isotopes which emit y rays or high energy p particles by placing a pre-exposed film between the sample and a calcium tungstate X-ray intensifying screen and exposing at --70°C.

Transfer of proteins from gels to diazobenzyloxymethyl-paper and detection with antisera: a method for studying antibody specificity and antigen structure

TL;DR: A rapid and very sensitive method for detecting proteins as antigens after their separation in polyacrylamide/agarose composite gels, with or without sodium dodecyl sulfate.
