Abstract

Histidinol dehydrogenase from three differing revertants of ICR-191A-induced frameshift hisD3018 has been purified and examined for amino acid replacements. The enzyme from one spontaneously arising revertant, R7, contains an extra proline residue, whereas that from another, R5, contains an extensive frameshifted sequence, four amino acid residues of which have been identified to date. The amino acid replacement data are in agreement with the in vitro code word assignments and allow the characterization of the hisD3018 frameshift as an addition of one nucleotide pair, most likely guanine plus cytosine. Enzymatic data for those ICR-191A-induced revertants of hisD3018 arising within the hisD gene indicate that the enzyme is wild type and, therefore, that ICR-191A can cause deletions as well as additions of single base pairs. The wild-type amino acid sequence is restored in enzyme from an N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NG)-induced revertant, R29, suggesting that NG is a base-deleting as well as a base-substituting mutagen. The unusual response of hisD3018 to external suppressors is considered in terms of reinitiation of protein synthesis out of phase, coupled with suppression of a nonpermissive missense codon so generated, ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
