Disease relevance of NDUFA2

  • When introduced with vector pHPT (lacking Epstein-Barr virus oriP), the B8 gene was inserted at different chromosomal locations [1].
  • We identified several classes of gene expression changes, including those associated with the non-neoplastic state in the B8 transgenic mouse, those associated with astrocytoma formation, and those specifically associated with only one of the three independently derived transgenic mouse astrocytomas [2].
  • The effect of virion age on the two A and B 8 S RNA conformational isomers was investigated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels [3].
  • Despite binding of CD14 to the LPS, a vital constituent of bacterial outer membrane, we have succeeded in producing full length recombinant hCD14 in E. coli [4].
 

High impact information on NDUFA2

  • One of the maternal haplotypes is the frequently occurring HLA-DR3, B8, A1 haplotype that normally carries a deletion of a ca. 30-kilobase unit including the CYP21A gene and C4A gene [5].
  • To characterize genetic events associated with B8 mouse astrocytoma formation, we employed comparative gene expression profiling of wild-type cultured mouse astrocytes, non-neoplastic B8 astrocytes, B8 astrocytoma cultures, and two other astrocytoma cultures from independently derived RAS transgenic mouse lines [2].
  • After the murine pre-B cell line 70Z/3 is transfected with DNA encoding human CD14 (hCD14), the resultant stably transfected cell line, 70Z/3-hCD14, responds to 1000-fold lower LPS concentrations than the parental CD14-negative line [6].
  • To resolve this controversy and to establish a mouse model suitable for elucidation of the functions of human CD14 (hCD14) in vivo, we generated several lines of transgenic mice bearing different copy numbers of the hCd14 transgene on a murine Cd14(-/-) background [7].
  • The oxidized subunit B8 from human complex I adopts a thioredoxin fold [8].
 

Biological context of NDUFA2

  • We have determined the 1.5 A crystal structure of this "public" TcR, revealing that five of the six hypervariable loops adopt novel conformations providing a unique combining site that contains a deep pocket predicted to overlay the HLA B8-peptide complex [9].
  • These results suggest that TPOFLK induces CD133+ HSPC proliferation, self-renewal and maintenance, up-regulation of HOX B3, B4 and A9 and down-regulation of HOX B8 and A10 gene expression [10].
 

Anatomical context of NDUFA2

  • Despite a potential repertoire of >10(15) alphabeta T cell receptors (TcR), the HLA B8-restricted cytolytic T cell response to a latent antigen of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is strikingly limited in the TcR sequences that are selected [9].
  • Suppressor cell activity, splenic function and HLA B8 status in man [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NDUFA2

  • No association between CD14 (C-260-->T) variant and plasma triglycerides or body mass index in non-diabetic Caucasians [12].
  • The CD 14 C (-159) T polymorphism was investigated using an allele specific PCR method [13].
