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.

Compound heterozygous mutations (Arg 239----stop, Pro 342----Thr) in the CYP17 (P45017 alpha) gene lead to ambiguous external genitalia in a male patient with partial combined 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency

TL;DR: The molecular basis of the deficiency in a male pseudohermaphrodite with ambiguous external genitalia resulting from partial combined deficiency of both 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities is elucidated.

Dominant Negative Variants of the SHP-2 Tyrosine Phosphatase Inhibit Prolactin Activation of Jak2 (Janus Kinase 2) and Induction of Stat5 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5)-Dependent Transcription

TL;DR: It is proposed that SHP-2 relieves an inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylated event in Jak2 required for Jak2 activity, Stat5 phosphorylation, and transcriptional induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe factor VII deficiency caused by mutations abolishing the cleavage site for activation and altering binding to tissue factor

TL;DR: It is suggested that the first EGF-like domain is required for binding to tissue factor and that the F.VII zymogen lacks activity and requires activation for expression of biologic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and functional analysis of two common human cytochrome P450 1B1 variants.

TL;DR: The combined results indicate that these two CYP1B1 variants show very similar properties with respect to catalytic activities and protein stability and do not alter CYP 1B1 function.

Posttranslational Regulation of Acid Sphingomyelinase in Niemann-Pick Type C1 Fibroblasts and Free Cholesterol-enriched Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells

TL;DR: Niemann-Pick type C disease is characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids within the lysosomal compartment, a process that is often accompanied by a reduction in acid sphingomyelinase activity, and cholesterol-induced inhibition is a posttranslational event.

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.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
