Disease relevance of Genes, vif

  • The sigma factor sigma 70 of E. coli RNA polymerase acts not only in initiation, but also at an early stage of elongation to induce a transcription pause, and simultaneously to allow the phage lambda gene Q transcription antiterminator to act [1].
  • In viable yellow ( A(vy)/a) mice, transcription originating in an intra-cisternal A particle (IAP) retrotransposon inserted upstream of the agouti gene (A) causes ectopic expression of agouti protein, resulting in yellow fur, obesity, diabetes and increased susceptibility to tumours [2].
  • Identification of HTLV-III/LAV sor gene product and detection of antibodies in human sera [3].
  • BACKGROUND & AIMS: Duodenal ulcer formation in persons infected with Helicobacter pylori correlates with the expression of the cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) and the vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) [4].
  • A promoter element (CREN, contact regulatory element of Neisseria) is responsible for the transient induction of this gene upon cell contact. crgA (contact-regulated gene A) encodes a transcriptional regulator whose expression is also induced upon cell contact from a promoter region similar to the CREN of pilC1 [5].
 

High impact information on Genes, vif

  • The recent identification of ROR2, encoding an orphan receptor tyrosine kinase, as the gene mutated in brachydactyly type B (BDB1; ref. 7) and the mesomelic dwarfing in mice homozygous for a lacZ and/or a neo insertion into Ror2 (refs 8,9) made this gene a candidate for RRS [6].
  • Here we show that PPAR-gamma is markedly upregulated in activated macrophages and inhibits the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase, gelatinase B and scavenger receptor A genes in response to 15d-PGJ2 and synthetic PPAR-gamma ligands [7].
  • We have identified seven A genes separated into two subcomplexes corresponding to the classical A alpha and A beta loci [8].
  • Self-fusion of the ALL1 gene. A new genetic mechanism for acute leukemia [9].
  • Identification of a recombinogenic major histocompatibility complex Q gene with diverse alleles [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Genes, vif

 

Biological context of Genes, vif

  • In the three patients exhibiting the classical picture of severe childhood ALD we identified in the 5' portion of the X-ALD gene a 38-bp deletion that causes a frameshift mutation, a 3-bp deletion leading to a deletion of an amino acid in the ATP-binding domain of the ALD protein, and a missense mutation [16].
  • We have identified at the 3' end of intron 6 in the CF gene a 4-bp tandem repeat (GATT) that exhibits interesting features [17].
  • Autoregulation of simian virus 40 gene A by T antigen [18].
  • Mutant mice carrying the H-2(aw18) haplotype, which is characterized by a large deletion in the S region covering the C4 and 21-OHase A genes, permit the direct in vivo analysis of C4-Slp transcription, unhindered by the presence of C4 [19].
  • DNA sequence analysis of the fibrinogen genes A, B, and G revealed a T>C transition in exon 9 resulting in a serine-to-proline substitution near the gamma chain C-terminus (S378P) [20].
 

Anatomical context of Genes, vif

  • Like the MEA gene, genes A and B were coordinately transcribed in the testis, which suggests that MEA and genes A and B are members of a gene family [21].
  • In fetal GR-null mice, mRNA levels of the type II epithelial cell surfactant protein genes A and C were reduced by approximately 50% [22].
  • The positions of intron/exon boundaries are conserved between the TAFI gene and the rat pancreatic carboxypeptidase A1, A2, and B and the human mast cell carboxypeptidase A genes, indicating that these carboxypeptidases arose from a common ancestral gene [23].
  • We have used an immunohistochemical method to detect the nerve growth factor-induced gene A (NGFI-A) protein expression in the superficial layers of the rat superior colliculus during postnatal development [24].
  • Despite the truncation, analysis of the gene A product suggested that it, like full-length NS53, accumulated in association with the cytoskeleton of the infected cell, thus providing evidence that the subcellular localization signal in NS53 resides in the amino terminal half of the protein [25].
 

Associations of Genes, vif with chemical compounds

  • Hybrid proteins formed by insertions in randomly selected genes and in the araB and A genes were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [26].
  • We have discovered in the X-linked androgen receptor gene a single exonic nucleotide substitution that causes complete androgen insensitivity (resistance) in a sibship with three affected individuals [27].
  • These data indicate a strong regulation by thyroid hormone of the expression of the growth factor inducible gene NGFI-A during brain development, making this gene a suitable model to study T3 action in the early developing nervous system [28].
  • Tritium-labeled gene A protein cleaves the phiX174 duplex replicative form and is bound to it in a 1:1 ratio as part of an active replication complex [29].
  • Transcriptional regulation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor genes. A possible role for the DNA-binding protein Puralpha [30].
 

Gene context of Genes, vif

  • Taking advantage of the situation that plants encode highly redundant cyclin A genes, we were able to perform functional dissection of CYCA2;3 using null mutant alleles [31].
  • This expression pattern, together with the previously established role of ubiquitination in axon degeneration, makes the chimeric gene a promising candidate for Wld [32].
  • It has been shown from pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) that the monoamine oxidase genes A and B (MAOA & MAOB) and DXS7 loci are physically very close [33].
  • Is the mitochondrial complex I ND5 gene a hot-spot for MELAS causing mutations [34]?
  • In the UGT1A3 gene a W11R, a V47A variant, and a conserved G to A exchange at position 81 with an incidence of 65%, 58%, and 65%, respectively, were identified [35].
