Screening anti-cancer drugs against tubulin using catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
Download2016
Kitova, Elena N., Klassen, John S., Winter, Philip, Tuszynski, Jack A., Darestani, Reza R.
Tubulin, which is the building block of microtubules, plays an important role in cell division. This critical role makes tubulin an attractive target for the development of chemotherapeutic drugs to treat cancer. Currently, there is no general binding assay for tubulin–drug interactions. The...

Screening oligosaccharide libraries against lectins using the proxy protein electrospray ionization mass spectrometry assay
Download2016
Kitova, Elena N., Klassen, John S., Fan, Xuxin, Privé, Gilbert G., Cairo, Christopher W., Xiong, Zi Jian, Ng, Kenneth K. S., Zou, Chunxia, Eugenio, Luiz, Li, Jun
An electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) assay for screening carbohydrate libraries against lectins is described. The assay is based on the proxy protein ESI-MS method, which combines direct ESI-MS protein–ligand binding measurements and competitive protein binding, to simultaneously...

The Silkworm Knowledgebase (SilkDB) is a web-based repository for the curation, integration and study of silkworm genetic and genomic data. With the recent accomplishment of a ~6X draft genome sequence of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori ), SilkDB provides an integrated representation of the...

Although sumoylation regulates a diverse and growing number of recognized biological processes, the molecular mechanisms by which the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO can alter the properties of a target protein remain to be established. To address this question, we have...

Sialic acid terminates glycans of glycoproteins and glycolipids that play numerous biological roles in health and disease. Although genetic tools are available for interrogating the effects of decreased or abolished sialoside expression in mice, pharmacological inhibition of the sialyltransferase...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge Aphrocallistes vastus: Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting
Download2008
Rosengarten, R.D., Sperling, E.A., Leys, S.P., Dellaporta, S.L., Moreno, M.A.
Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree. Most recently, the partial mtDNA of two glass...

The procambium specification gene Oshox1 promotes polar auxin transport capacity and reduces its sensitivity toward inhibition
Download2002
Meijer, A. H., Reub, S., Boot, K. J. M., Scarpella, E.
The auxin-inducible homeobox gene Oshox1 of rice (Oryza sativa) is a positive regulator of procambial cell fate commitment, and its overexpression reduces the sensitivity of polar auxin transport (PAT) to the PAT inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA). Here, we show that wild-type rice...

Liao, Xiaoping, Choi, Jung-Woo, Stothard, Paul, Basu, Urmila, Sumner-Thomson, Jennifer M., Meng, Yan, Moore, Stephen S.
Background One of the goals of livestock genomics research is to identify the genetic differences responsible for variation in phenotypic traits, particularly those of economic importance. Characterizing the genetic variation in livestock species is an important step towards linking genes or...

Background Despite ongoing reductions in the cost of sequencing technologies, whole genome SNP genotype imputation is often used as an alternative for obtaining abundant SNP genotypes for genome wide association studies. Several existing genotype imputation methods can be efficient for this...
