TLDR
The structure of the sterol 26-hydroxylase cDNA reveals it to be a mitochondrial cytochrome P-450, and blotting experiments revealed that the mRNA for this enzyme is expressed in many tissues and that it is encoded by a low copy number gene in the rabbit genome.

Cholesterol is converted to 7 alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoic acid in liver mitochondria. Evidence for a mitochondrial sterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase.

TL;DR: This study shows that the first reactions in the biosynthesis of bile acids can be exclusively mitochondrial and thereby bypass microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase as the rate-limiting enzyme.

Molecular basis of androgen insensitivity

TL;DR: Clinical indications can be abnormal sexual development of individuals with a predominant male phenotype with severe hypospadias and micropenis or of Individuals with a predominantly female phenotype with cliteromegaly, ambiguous genitalia, and gynecomastia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rab24 is an atypical member of the Rab GTPase family. Deficient GTPase activity, GDP dissociation inhibitor interaction, and prenylation of Rab24 expressed in cultured cells.

TL;DR: The present studies indicate that Rab24 possesses several unusual characteristics that distinguish it from other Rab proteins, indicating that, if Rab24 functions in vesicular transport processes, it may operate through a novel mechanism that does not depend on GTP hydrolysis or GDP dissociation inhibitor-mediated recycling.

Oxysterols in cap and core of human advanced atherosclerotic lesions

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the different lipid and oxidised lipid contents of cap and core may be due to variations in oxidative activity in different parts of the lesion.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic sequencing

TL;DR: The genomic sequencing procedures are applicable to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms, DNA methylation at deoxycytidines, and nucleic acid-protein interactions at single nucleotide resolution.

A receptor-mediated pathway for cholesterol homeostasis.

TL;DR: The approach was to apply the techniques of cell culture to unravel the postulated regulatory defect in FH, which led to the discovery of a cell surface receptor for a plasma cholesterol transport protein called low density lipoprotein (LDL) and to the elucidation of the mechanism by which this receptor mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis.
