All cells in the human body contain these bases in exactly the same order, but different genes are
expressed in different cell types, allowing them to carry out their specialized functions.
Rather than analyzing groups of cells, they performed a comprehensive analysis of the genes that are expressed
in the different cells at a single cell resolution.
Those switches can be both near and far from the gene they regulate and act in different
combinations in different cell types to give each cell type a unique genomic identity.
She adds that it is also unclear why distinct patterns of these sites are
observed in different cell types and under different drug treatments.
The results, although still preliminary in a quantitative sense, demonstrate that the reactivation of methylation - silenced genes does occur
in different cell lines, suggesting it is a general phenomenon.
On the other hand, if the same mutation
occurs in a different cell population located farther away from the SVZ, it will give rise to other subtypes,» said Chen.
«We compiled a list of the proteins we thought Zika and similar viruses like dengue were using to get inside of cells, and then we looked to see which of these proteins were abundantly
present in the different cell types of the developing brain,» said Pollen, who did the work with Tomasz Nowakowski, PhD, and a UCSF graduate student Carmen Sandoval - Espinosa, BS, both in Kriegstein's lab.
In the first step,
stainings in different cell lines with the same antibody are reviewed and the results are compared with available protein / gene characterization data for subcellular location.
Thus, the ESTs have usefulness, or patentable utility, for diagnostic evaluations of specific protein
kinases in different cells, for example.
In order to isolate the 3D structure of the chromosome during metaphase, the authors used a combination of chromosome conformation capture technologies (3C, 5C and Hi - C) developed by the Dekker lab over the last decade to map the points of contact along the mitotic
chromosome in different cell types synchronized to divide at the same time.
Answering these questions leads to consideration of the role that hormones — insulin, in particular — play in stimulating fat
accumulation in different cells.
«When different scientists are able to get the same
results in different cells from different patients, we can have more confidence that we are really on to something that will be beneficial for patients.»
The lead authors of the article, Hani Goodarzi, formerly a postdoc in the lab and now a new assistant professor at UCSF, and research assistant Hoang Nguyen, devised and applied a new method that utilizes state - of - the - art genomic sequencing technology to measure the amount of
tRNAs in different cell types.
In a paper published earlier this year in Molecular Cell, he and his team explored the activity of the FOS / JUN protein complex, which is expressed across many different cell types in the brain but appears to regulate unique
programs in each different cell type.
«It just needs the Cre reaction to turn it on, and there are many mouse lines available that express
Cre in different cell types.»
Christian Seiser says: «Our results highlight that it is crucial to understand the individual role the various HDAC
variants in different cell types and hence different types of cancer, before HDAC inhibitors can be used safely as therapeutics.»
This was extremely challenging, since many disparate functions have been attributed to
Alix in different cell types.
He explains, «To our knowledge, this is the first radiotracer to interrogate the activity of PATs, which play a role as multi-purpose carriers with distinct
roles in different cells.
Expression of Snail represses expression of E-cadherin and induces
EMT in different cell types, including breast cancer cells [36, 37].
Only within the past few years were members of the project able to start classifying, annotating and analyzing the millions of images they had captured of subcellular
structures in different cell types.
Lue, whose essay described the regulation of alternative splicing and how defects in this process can cause disease, and Mueller, whose essay described examples of alternatively spliced proteins coded by the same gene with different functions that
act in different cells, will each receive a $ 400 prize, and their science teachers, Dr. Martina Davies and Mrs. Jessica Graham respectively, will each receive a $ 400 grant for genetics materials.
Allinase is
found in different cells to alliin, cleanly separated by the cell walls, so the reaction occurs immediately after slicing the root with a knife.
The results, which focus on two choices near the start of embryo formation, show that, when cells are making decisions about what to become, there is greater variation in the activity of the
genes in different cells — the same genes may be turned on in some cells and off in others.
By functionally linking the signal transduction of melanopsin to the control circuit of the nuclear factor of activated T cells, we have designed a synthetic signaling cascade enabling light - inducible transgene
expression in different cell lines grown in culture or bioreactors or implanted into mice.
Understanding how a particular DNA sequence gives rise to a particular protein provides us with some insight into that protein, but a deeper investigation of how the protein is made, where it is located, and how much of it is
present in different cell types is required to enable a true understanding of its function.
Myriad control switches help to arbitrate how genes get
expressed in different cells and tissues, and those switches are often triggered by maternal diet, toxic exposures and many other environmental factors.
HDAC3 functions on the epigenome, the molecular component of the cell nucleus that specifies which genes are expressed — and just as importantly, which ones are not —
in different cells of the body.
In the different cell types of the body, different protein producing genes are active or inactive, and many medical conditions also depend on altered activity of specific genes.
