Disease relevance of MS2

Detailed studies on coliphage MS2 coat protein-mediated translational repression also suggested that the efficiency of translational repression was position-dependent [1].

High impact information on MS2

We have identified an Enhancer-transposase-mediated Inhibitor element insertion responsible for the male sterile phenotype, and isolated the corresponding gene named MALE STERILITY 2 [2].
The Arabidopsis thaliana MALE STERILITY 2 (MS2) gene product is involved in male gametogenesis [3].
Comparison of structure of MS2Bnap in B. napus with that of MS2 in Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that the similarity of exons between these two genes is higher than that of introns [4].
An integrated strategy for identification and relative quantification of site-specific protein phosphorylation using liquid chromatography coupled to MS2/MS3 [5].
