Dubé, Joseph B., Wang, Jian, Cao, Henian, McIntyre, Adam D., Johansen, Christopher T., Hopkins, Scarlett E., Stringer, Randa, Hosseinzadeh, Siyavash, Kennedy, Brooke A., Ban, Matthew R., Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Dewailly, Eric, Bjerregaard, Peter, Boyer, Bert B., Hegele, Robert A.
"Background: Inuit are considered to be vulnerable to cardiovascular disease because their lifestyles are becoming more Westernized. During sequence analysis of Inuit individuals at extremes of lipid traits, we identified 2 nonsynonymous variants in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), namely...

Disubstituted sialic acid ligands targeting siglecs CD33 and CD22 associated with myeloid leukaemias and B cell lymphomas
Download2014
McBride, Ryan, Fokin, Valery V., He, Yuan, Macauley, Matthew S., Paulson, James C. , Arlian, Britni M., Rillahan, Cory D., Rangarajan, Janani, Schwartz, Erik
The siglec family of sialic acid-binding proteins are endocytic immune cell receptors that are recognized as potential targets for cell directed therapies. CD33 and CD22 are prototypical members and are validated candidates for targeting acute myeloid leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas due to...

As part of a multi-subunit ring complex, γ-tubulin has been shown to promote microtubule nucleation both in vitro and in vivo, and the structural properties of the complex suggest that it also seals the minus ends of the polymers with a conical cap. Cells depleted of γ-tubulin, however, still...

An alternative physiological role for the EmhABC efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens cLP6a
Download2011
Background Efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily in bacteria are involved in antibiotic resistance and solvent tolerance but have an unknown physiological role. EmhABC, a RND-type efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain cLP6a, extrudes hydrophobic...

Background: The MS4A gene family in humans includes CD20 (MS4A1), FcRb (MS4A2), Htm4 (MS4A3), and at least 13 other syntenic genes encoding membrane proteins, most having characteristic tetraspanning topology. Expression of MS4A genes is variable in tissues throughout the body; however, several...

Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda) induces changes in expression of select genes of Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera)
Download2009
Belosevic, M., Shostak, A. W., Hitchen, S. J.
The flour beetle Tribolium confusum is a common experimental intermediate host for the tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta, but while many aspects of their host-parasite interactions have been determined to have genetic basis, the genes involved have not been identified. In this paper, we report on the...

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of ~22 nucleotide small RNA molecules which regulate gene expression by fully or partially binding to their complementary sequences in mRNAs or promoters. A large number of miRNAs and their expression patterns have been reported in human, mouse and rat....
