Predicting in vivo cardiovascular properties of ?-blockers from cellular assays: a quantative comparison of cellular and cardiovascular pharmacological responses (2011)
Journal Article

?-Adrenoceptor antagonists differ in their degree of partial agonism. In vitro assays have provided information on ligand affinity, selectivity, and intrinsic efficacy. However, the extent to which these properties are manifest in vivo is less clear....

Dimerization of ABCG2 analysed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (2011)
Journal Article

ABCG2 is one of three human ATP binding cassette transporters that are functionally capable of exporting a diverse range of substrates from cells. The physiological consequence of ABCG2 multidrug transport activity in leukaemia, and some solid tumour... Read More about Dimerization of ABCG2 analysed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation.

Knockdown of embryonic myosin heavy chain reveals an essential role in the morphology and function of the developing heart (2011)
Journal Article

The expression and function of embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMYH) has not been investigated within the early developing heart. This is despite the knowledge that other structural proteins, such as alpha and beta myosin heavy chains and cardiac alpha... Read More about Knockdown of embryonic myosin heavy chain reveals an essential role in the morphology and function of the developing heart.

Functional network construction in Arabidopsis using rule-based machine learning on large-scale data sets (2011)
Journal Article

The meta-analysis of large-scale postgenomics data sets within public databases promises to provide important novel biological knowledge. Statistical approaches including correlation analyses in coexpression studies of gene expression have emerged as...

SUMO conjugation of STAT1 protects cells from hyperresponsiveness to IFN? (2011)
Journal Article

The biologic effects of IFNγ are mediated by the transcription factor STAT1. The activity of STAT1 is inhibited by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation. This occurs both directly through decreasing STAT1 tyrosine phosphorylation and indir... Read More about SUMO conjugation of STAT1 protects cells from hyperresponsiveness to IFN?.

STAT1 signaling is not regulated by a phosphorylation-acetylation switch (2011)
Journal Article

The treatment of cells with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) was reported to reveal the acetylation of STAT1 at lysine 410 and lysine 413 (O. H. Kra¨mer et al., Genes Dev. 20:473–485, 2006). STAT1 acetylation was proposed to regulate apoptosi... Read More about STAT1 signaling is not regulated by a phosphorylation-acetylation switch.

H-NS mediates the dissociation of a refractory protein–DNA complex during Tn10/IS10 transposition (2011)
Journal Article

Tn10/IS10 transposition takes place in the context of a protein–DNA complex called a transpososome. During the reaction, the transpososome undergoes several conformational changes. The host proteins IHF and H-NS, which also are global regulators of g... Read More about H-NS mediates the dissociation of a refractory protein–DNA complex during Tn10/IS10 transposition.

Evolution of ?-blockers: from anti-anginal drugs to ligand-directed signalling (2011)
Journal Article

Sir James Black developed ?-blockers, one of the most useful groups of drugs in use today. Not only are they being used for their original purpose to treat angina and cardiac arrhythmias, but they are also effective therapeutics for hypertension, car...

The transposon-like correia elements encode numerous strong promoters and provide a potential new mechanism for phase variation in the meningococcus (2011)
Journal Article

Neisseria meningitidis is the primary causative agent of bacterial meningitis. The genome is rich in repetitive DNA and almost 2% is occupied by a diminutive transposon called the Correia element. Here we report a bioinformatic analysis defining eigh...

Nuclear survivin: cellular consequences and therapeutic implications (2011)
Book Chapter

The great deluge algorithm explores neighbouring solutions which are accepted if they are better than the best solution so far or if the detriment in quality is no larger than the current water level. In the original great deluge method, the water le... Read More about Nuclear survivin: cellular consequences and therapeutic implications.
