TLDR
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.Abstract:
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described. It is similar to the “plus and minus” method [Sanger, F. & Coulson, A. R. (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 94, 441-448] but makes use of the 2′,3′-dideoxy and arabinonucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase. The technique has been applied to the DNA of bacteriophage ϕX174 and is more rapid and more accurate than either the plus or the minus method.read more

A novel transforming growth factor beta response element controls the expression of the connective tissue growth factor gene.
TL;DR: Northern blot and run-on transcription assays indicate that TGF-beta directly activates transcription of the CTGF gene, and analysis of deletion mutants indicated that an important T GF-beta regulatory element is located between positions -162 and -128 of theCTGF promoter sequence.

ADD1: a novel helix-loop-helix transcription factor associated with adipocyte determination and differentiation.
TL;DR: The screening of an adipocyte cDNA expression library suggests that ADD1 plays a role in the regulation of determination- and differentiation-specific gene expression in adipocytes.

Domains specifying thrombin-receptor interaction.
TL;DR: A model for thrombin–receptor interaction is defined, which demonstrates that all information necessary for receptor activation is provided by receptor proteolysis, and creates a functional enterokinase receptor.

TL;DR: A complementary DNA encoding a G protein-coupled glutamate receptor from rat brain, GluGR, was cloned by functional expression in Xenopus oocytes, suggesting that it may be a member of a new subfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic mechanisms of tumor suppression by the human p53 gene.
TL;DR: Estimation of the stepwise mutation or loss of both p53 alleles during tumorigenesis suggests that mutation of both alleles of the p53 gene is essential for its role in oncogenesis.

Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage G4 DNA.
TL;DR: The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs.
