Disease relevance of FOXN3

  • On one occasion propranolol (ICI plc, Macclesfield, Ches., UK) was administered intravenously at 0.1 mg/kg body weight at meal feeding [1].
  • Two hundred and forty-seven patients with uterine fibroids were randomized to surgery alone or 3 months' Zoladex (Zeneca, Macclesfield, Ches., UK) followed by surgery [2].

High impact information on FOXN3

 

Biological context of FOXN3

  • In this report, we find that the carboxyl terminus of CHES1 fused to a heterologous DNA binding domain consistently represses reporter gene transcription in cell lines derived from tumor tissues [9].
  • CHES1 suppression of sensitivity to DNA damage is specific for checkpoint-defective strains, in contrast to DNA repair-defective strains [5].
 

Anatomical context of FOXN3

  • By replacing calcium chloride by calcium lactate and eliminating the use of CHES in the construction of capsule membranes, we improved the strength and biocompatibility of our capsules, as evidenced by marked improvements in the survival rates of diabetic mice treated with islet transplants enclosed in the new capsules [10].
 

Associations of FOXN3 with chemical compounds

  • Without much changes in the background conductivity after suppressed, CHES could be used as suppressed conductivity ion chromatography eluent for determination of species unstable in strong alkaline, such as determination of phosphate in heteropoly acid (HPA) samples in AS14 column [11].
  • The aggregation suppressor 2-(cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid (CHES) proved to be superior with respect to the final renaturation yield, although, in comparison to the more common arginine, it was less efficient in preventing aggregation of rhBMP-2 during refolding [12].
  • The working electrolyte consisted of 4.7 mM sodium chromate, 4.0 mM OFM-OH (tetradecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide), 10 mM CHES [2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid], and 0.1 mM calcium gluconate (pH 9.1) [13].
  • An electrolyte system consisting of 25 mM DDCV, 100 mM zwitterionic CHES (2-[N-cyclohexylamino]ethanesulfonic acid) and 10 mM triethylamine (TEA) was most effective for these runs [14].
  • Imidazoles, Ches and phosphate are thought to participate in a metal center-to-buffer proton transfer pathway, whereas Bicine, Taps, Mops and Mes appear to lack this capacity, so that the rate-limiting proton transfer occurs in a metal center-to-bulk water pathway for these variants [15].
 

Physical interactions of FOXN3

  • Using a cytoplasmic two-hybrid screening approach, we find that this portion of CHES1 interacts with Ski-interacting protein (SKIP; NCoA-62), which is a transcriptional co-regulator known to associate with repressor complexes [9].
 

Other interactions of FOXN3

  • Accumulating expression profile data suggest that CHES1 plays a role in tumorigenicity and responses to cancer treatments, though nothing is known regarding the transcriptional function of CHES1 or other FOXN proteins in human cells [9].
  • Two cell lines were found to be homozygous for missense-type base substitutions, i.e., Saos-2 was homoallelic for 1637T-->G in hRAD17; and COLO320DM for 1189G-->A in CHES1, indicating a possible use of these cell lines for further study [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of FOXN3

  • Sequence analysis demonstrates that CHES1 is a novel member of the fork head/Winged Helix family of transcription factors [5].
  • Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), we determined some thermodynamic and structural parameters for a series of amino acid-linked dialkyl lipids containing a glutamic acid-succinate headgroup and di-alkyl chains: C12, C14, C16 and C18 in CHES buffer, pH 10 [17].
  • Using the crystallization results of 192 independent crystallization trials, it was possible to identify a buffer containing 100 mM CHES pH 9.25 that significantly improves its solubility [18].
