Disease relevance of Fundazol

  • The identity elements in E. coli tRNA(Gln) are well characterized (Jahn, M., Rogers, J., and Soll, D. (1991) Nature 352, 258-260) [1].
  • Involvement of the vaccinia RNA polymerase subunit rpo30 in the transcript-shortening reaction is suggested based on sequence similarity of rpo30 to mammalian protein SII (TFIIS), an extrinsic transcription factor required for nascent RNA cleavage by RNA polymerase II (Reines, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 3795-3800) [2].
  • We have described a protein (Hep27) [Donadel, G., Garzelli, C., Frank, R. & Gabrielli, F. (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 195, 723-729] which is synthesized and accumulated in the nucleus of human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells, following growth arrest induced by butyrate treatment [3].
  • In experiments with Drosophila melanogaster we found (i) there was no significant increase in recessive lethal frequency after feeding adult flies with Benlate did not increase chromosome breakage or loss significantly; (ii) there was a relatively high incidence of sterility when males of one strain (Oregon R) were fed Benlate or MBC [4].
 

High impact information on Fundazol

  • Visual texture discrimination has been shown to induce long-lasting behavioral improvement restricted to the trained eye and trained location in visual field [Karni, A. & Sagi, D. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88, 4966-4970] [5].
  • One of these yeast genes contains an unidentified open reading frame and the other, MFT1, is a gene isolated from a yeast mutant that fails to import a fusion protein into mitochondria [Garrett, J. M., Singh, K. K., Vonder Haar, R. A. & Emr, S. D. (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 225, 483-491] [6].
  • Fractions enriched for acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity from chicken brain were found to contain a protein that was approximately 30% homologous with mammalian prion proteins [Harris, D. A., Falls, D. L., Johnson, F. A. & Fischbach, G. D. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88, 7664-7668] [7].
  • It was previously shown (Roberts, C., Platt, N., Streit, A., Schachner, M. and Stern, C. D. (1991) Development 112, 959-970) that grafts of Hensen's node into chick embryos enhanced and maintain expression of the L5 carbohydrate in neighbouring epiblast cells, and that antibodies against L5 inhibit neural induction by such a graft [8].
  • We observed that the rotation of the c ring with the cI28T mutation (c subunit cIle-28 replaced by Thr) was less sensitive to venturicidin than that of the wild type, consistent with the antibiotic effect on the cI28T mutant and wild-type ATPase activities (Fillingame, R. H., Oldenburg, M., and Fraga, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 20934-20939) [9].
 

Biological context of Fundazol

  • The carboxyl-terminal region has also been identified as the site for phosphorylation of this isoform by protein kinase C (Wang, K. K. W., Wright, L. C., Machan, C. L., Allen, B. G., Conigrave, A. D., and Roufogalis, B. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 9078-9085) [10].
  • Using a newly developed, monoclonal antibody-based immunoaffinity method (Hochleitner, K., Thomale, J., Nikitin, A. Y., and Rajewsky, M. F. (1991) Nucleic Acids Res. 19, 4467-4472), it has become possible to quantitate the mutagenic DNA alkylation product O6-ethylguanine (O6-EtGua) at the level of single-copy genes [11].
  • A cDNA of 1992 base pairs encoding the complete rat liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase has been isolated using a polymerase chain reaction-derived DNA fragment (Arand, M., Knehr, M., Thomas, H., Zeller, H. D., and Oesch, F. (1991) FEBS Lett. 294, 19-22) known to represent the 3'-end of the cytosolic epoxide hydrolase mRNA [12].
  • Tropomyosins, a family of highly conserved coiled-coil actin binding proteins, can differ as a consequence of alternative expression of several exons (Lees-Miller, J., and Helfman, D. (1991) BioEssays 13, 429-437) [13].
  • Disruption of the dapG locus led to the loss of aspartokinase I, with a phenotype similar to that of the temperature-sensitive dapG mutants described earlier (Roten, C. A. H., Brandt, C., and Karamata, D. (1991) J. Gen. Microbiol. 137, 951-962) [14].
 

Anatomical context of Fundazol

  • Recently, we described the characterization of TNF-resistant sublines isolated from TNF-sensitive cell line L929 (Hayakawa, M., Oku, N., Takagi, T., Hori, T., Shibamoto, S., Yamanaka, Y., Takeuchi, K., Tsujimoto, M., and Ito, F. (1991) Cell Struct. Funct. 16, 333-340) [15].
  • Results obtained with adipocyte ghosts indicated that the relative pumping activities of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms of the (Na+,K+) pump depend strongly on intracellular sodium concentration, [Na+]i (McGill, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 15817-15823) [16].
  • We have recently reported the attachment and spreading of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) upon substrates containing covalently grafted Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptide (Hubbell, J. A., Massia, S. P., Desai, N. P., and Drumheller, P. D. (1991) Bio/Technology 9, 568-572) [17].
  • As transgenic mouse studies have shown that the bovine VP gene is subject to appropriate physiological regulation in the mouse hypothalamus (Ang, H. L., Funkhouser, J., Carter, D. A., Ho, M. Y., and Murphy, D. (1991) Soc. Neurosci. Abstr. 513, 12), these data indicate a role for the BVP-CRE element in mediating VP gene expression in vivo [18].
  • The expression of a hematopoietic proteoglycan core protein (HpPG) gene is up-regulated during the early stages of myeloblast differentiation at a time point coinciding with the beginning of granule genesis (Stellrecht, C. M., Mars, W. M., Miwa, H., Beran, M., and Saunders, G. F. (1991) Differentiation 48, 127-135) [19].
 

Associations of Fundazol with other chemical compounds

  • Heparin modulates the angiogenic (Albini, A., Benelli, R., Presta, M., Rusnati, M., Ziche, M., Rubartelli, A., Paglialunga, G., Bussolino, F., and Noonan, D. (1996) Oncogene 12, 289-297) and transcriptional (Mann, D. A., and Frankel, A. D. (1991) EMBO J. 10, 1733-1739) activity of extracellular Tat [20].
  • We have isolated two cDNAs that encode backbones of proline-rich proteoglycans identified previously in parotids of isoproterenol-treated rats (Blair, A. E., Castle, A. M., and Castle, J. D. (1991) Am. J. Physiol. 30, C897-C905) [21].
  • We have previously reported that the product of the wheat TaUBC7 gene recognizes ubiquitin as a substrate for ubiquitination in vitro, catalyzing the condensation of free ubiquitin into multiubiquitin chains linked via lysine 48 (van Nocker, S., and vierstra, R. D. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 88, 10297-10301) [22].
  • Deletion constructs of the MDR1 promoter were used to analyze the basal transcription of the promoter and its responses to the toxic compound BEN and the oxidizing agent tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide (T-BHP) [23].
  • These substrates are now known to cause inactivation of pdc1 with concomitant modification of one Cys of the four [Zeng, X.; Chung, A.; Haran, M.; Jordan, F. (1991) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 113, 5842-49].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[24]
 

Gene context of Fundazol

  • E. coli has two GluTR proteins with sizes of 45 kDa (GluTR45) and 85 kDa (GluTR85) (Jahn, D., Michelsen, U., and Söll, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 2542-2548) [25].
  • Filensin, a 100 kDa, membrane-associated, cytoskeletal protein, is uniquely expressed in the lens fiber cell (Merdes, A., Brunkener, M., Horstmann, H., and Georgatos, S. D. (1991) J. Cell Biol. 115, 397-410) [26].
  • Furthermore interleukin-3 (IL-3) competes for the binding of GM-CSF to its high affinity receptor (for review see Nicola, N. A., and Metcalf, D. (1991) Cell 67, 1-4) [27].
  • A 66-kDa glycosylated carboxypeptidase, plasma pro-carboxypeptidase B (pro-plasma CPB), has recently been identified in human blood (Eaton, D. L., Malloy, B. E., Tsai, S. P., Henzel, W., and Drayna, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 21833-21838) [28].
  • Mitosis-specific phosphorylation by cdc2 kinase causes nonmuscle caldesmon to dissociate from microfilaments (Yamashiro, S., Yamakita, Y., Ishikawa, R., and Matsumura, F. (1990) Nature 344, 675-678; Yamashiro, S., Yamakita, Y., Hosoya, H., and Matsumura, F. (1991) Nature 349, 169-172) [29].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fundazol

  • Two separate galactoside-binding sites have been clearly established in the ricin B chain by X-ray crystallography [Rutenber, E., and Robertus, J. D. (1991) Proteins 10, 260-269], and it is necessary to covalently attach two such reactive ligands to the B chain to block its binding to galactoside affinity matrixes [30].
  • Enhanced phytotoxicity of the heat-treated, DBU-rich Benlate DF was demonstrated by lettuce seedling bioassay [31].
