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.

DNA binding and IκB inhibition of the cloned p65 subunit of NF-κB, a rel-related polypeptide

TL;DR: Progressive carboxy-terminal deletions of p65 show that, contrary to previous assumptions, p65 does include a DNA-binding domain that in vivo might become activated only through hetero-oligomerization with p50, and suggesting that IκB exerts its inhibitory effect upon NF-κB primarily through interaction with p65.

FGFR-4, a novel acidic fibroblast growth factor receptor with a distinct expression pattern.

TL;DR: The results suggest that FGFR‐4 along with other fibroblast growth factor receptors performs cell lineage and tissue‐specific functions.

Genomic DNA sequence of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

TL;DR: Although an internal amino acid sequence homology could be detected between the two halves of the predicted polypeptide, the lack of alignment of the nucleotide sequence as well as the different positions of the exon/intron boundaries does not seem to support the hypothesis of a recent gene duplication event.

A simple structural feature is a major determinant of the identity of a transfer RNA

TL;DR: Analysis of a series of mutants of an Escherichia coli alanine transfer RNA shows that substitution of a single G-U base pair in the acceptor helix eliminates aminoacylation withAlanine in vivo and in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beta-arrestin2, a novel member of the arrestin/beta-arrestin gene family.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemical analysis of the tissue distribution of beta-Arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2 in rat brain shows extensive, but heterogenous, neuronal labeling of the two proteins, suggesting that they have relatively broad receptor specificity regulating many G protein-coupled receptors.

A rapid method for determining sequences in DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: A simple and rapid method for determining nucleotide sequences in single-stranded DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase is described and was used to determine two sequences in bacteriophage φX174 DNA.

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.
