A nondefective recombinant human adenovirus 5 (Ad5) carrying the gene encoding for the porcine rotavirus outer capsid protein VP7 in the E3 region of the Ad5 genome has been obtained. mRNA for VP7 in recombinant Ad5KV14/VP7 infected cells was demonstrated by means of RT-PCR. Radioimmunoprecipitation of cell extracts infected with Ad5KV14/VP7 on early (12 h p.i.) and late (24 h p.i.) stages of adenovirus infection with rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised to purified rotavirus virions revealed a recombinant protein possessing the same electrophoretic mobility, 37 kDa, as the native rotavirus K VP7. One-dimensional peptide mapping also demonstrated the identity of the recombinant and native VP7.

Background: Mounting evidence underline the relevance of macromolecular complexes in cancer. Integrins frequently recruit ion channels and transporters within complexes which behave as signaling hubs. A complex composed by β1 integrin, hERG1 K channel, the neonatal form of the Na channel Na 1.

Catabolic plasmids are critical factors in the degradation of recalcitrant xenobiotics, such as dioxins. Understanding the persistence and evolution of native catabolic plasmids is pivotal for controlling their function in microbial remediation. Here, we track the fitness and evolution of Rhodococcus sp.

The ABCB4 gene encodes multidrug resistance protein 3(MDR3), which is a phosphatidylcholine(PC) transfer enzyme that transfers lecithin from the inner part of the phospholipid bilayer to the extracellular bile. The occurrence of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP) is closely related to ABCB4 variants, but there is limited research on this topic in southern Anhui, China. We sequenced ABCB4 in pregnant women with ICP and healthy pregnant women to explore the relationship.

While all native tRNAs undergo extensive post-transcriptional modifications as a mechanism to regulate gene expression, mapping these modifications remains challenging. The critical barrier is the difficulty of readthrough of modifications by reverse transcriptases (RTs). Here we use Induro-a new group-II intron-encoded RT-to map and quantify genome-wide tRNA modifications in Induro-tRNAseq.

Emerging evidence demonstrates that cryptic translation from RNAs previously annotated as noncoding might generate microproteins with oncogenic functions. However, the importance and underlying mechanisms of these microproteins in alternative splicing-driven tumor progression have rarely been studied. Here, we show that the novel protein TPM3P9, encoded by the lncRNA tropomyosin 3 pseudogene 9, exhibits oncogenic activity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by enhancing oncogenic RNA splicing.
