Disease relevance of A Factor

 

Psychiatry related information on A Factor

  • A factor analysis showed impairments in power of concentration and speed of working memory, independent of a history of intravenous drug usage (IVDU), depression, fatigue, or symptom severity [6].
  • A factor analysis of depressive symptoms from the group was performed to derive a depression severity score [7].
  • A factor analysis of tic symptoms in Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome [8].
  • A factor analytic approach used with the Hamilton depression scores showed that depressive retardation symptoms were the most responsive to sleep deprivation in the premenstrual dysphoric disorder subjects [9].
  • A factor analysis of the entire item set of the DSM-III criteria was conducted to determine the extent to which the factors that emerged corresponded to the 11 personality disorders and three clusters included in DSM-III [10].
 

High impact information on A Factor

  • A factor in conditioned medium from B. subtilis cells engineered to produce SpollR during growth triggered processing in protoplasts of B. subtilis cells that had been engineered to produce SpollGA and pro-sigma E [11].
  • A factor, U2AF, is required for U2 snRNP binding and splicing complex assembly [12].
  • This factor is required for active transcription of an hsp 70 gene in addition to RNA polymerase II and another general transcription factor, the A factor [13].
  • A factor, RF-S, was partially purified from human S phase cells based on its ability to activate DNA replication in extracts from G1 cells [14].
  • The mutant is also defective in the production of A-factor, an early extracellular cell-density signal [15].

Associations of A Factor with other chemical compounds

  • In the signal relay leading to streptomycin production in S. griseus, the A-factor signal is transferred from the A-factor receptor to the upstream activation sequence of a regulatory gene, strR, in the streptomycin biosynthetic gene cluster via an A-factor-dependent protein that serves as a transcription factor for strR [31].
  • This glycoprotein present in plasma is involved in platelet adhesion at the site of vascular injury and serves as the carrier of antihaemophilic A factor (FVIII) [32].
  • A factor isolated from rabbit reticulocyte white ghosts by Triton X-100 treatment blocks protein synthesis at the elongation-termination stage [33].
  • Though butalactin is structurally related to 'signal molecules' such as A-factor, the anthracycline inducing factors and the virginiae butanolides, it does not show inducing activity for antibiotic production or aerial mycelium formation in the indicator strain [34].
  • (1) A factor analysis identified two factors that describe an involvement/commitment dimension (Factor 1) and a positive/negative change dimension (Factor 2) [35].
 

Gene context of A Factor

  • A factor was found which inhibited the IL-2-induced proliferation of mitogen-stimulated human T cells and the IL-1-induced proliferation of C3H/Hej mouse thymocytes, but not IL-1-induced fibroblast proliferation [36].
  • A factor of inducing IgE from a filarial parasite is an agonist of human CD40 [37].
  • A factor binding to the xenobiotic responsive element (XRE) of P-4501A1 gene consists of at least two helix-loop-helix proteins, Ah receptor and Arnt [38].
  • A factor stimulating transcription of the testis-specific Pgk-2 gene recognizes a sequence similar to the binding site for a transcription inhibitor of the somatic-type Pgk-1 gene [39].
  • A factor binding to the B-myb CHR was identified in fractionated HeLa nuclear extract and found to interact with the minor groove, as previously shown by in vivo footprinting for the cyclin A CHR [40].
