1. RET proto-oncogene mutations screening and detection in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 using conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis / Detecção e rastreamento de mutações no proto-oncogene RET em pacientes com neoplasia endócrina múltipla tipo 2 por meio de eletroforese em gel sensível à conformação
A neoplasia endócrina múltipla tipo 2 (NEM-2) é uma síndrome tumoral herdada por mutações germinativas no proto-oncogene RET (RET) e transmitida por herança autossômica dominante. Atualmente, a indicação de tireoidectomia total preventiva é recomendada a indivíduos portadores de mutações no RET. Analisamos a aplicação do método Eletroforese

2. "Sequenciamento da região NS5A do genoma do vírus da hepatite C, genótipo 3, de pacientes brasileiros com infecção crônica" / Sequencing of NS5A region of HCV genotype 3 in brazilian patienwith chronic disease
The aim of this study was to analyse the sequences of fragments of E2 and NS5A regions from 33 outpatients infected with HCV genotype 3, including cirrhotic (C) and non-cirrhotic (NC) patients that have responded (R) or not (NR) to treatment. In the E2 region, we did observe few amino acids changes between patients without statistical significance. In the NL

3. A chimera of EBNA1 and the estrogen receptor activates transcription but not replication.
DNA replication from the plasmid origin of replication of Epstein-Barr virus requires one viral protein, EBNA1. This protein also acts as a transcriptional activator. Mutational analyses of EBNA1 have led to the conclusion that it supports transcription and DNA replication similarly. Such analyses have not probed the DNA-binding domain of EBNA1. To test whet

4. Adjacent DNA sequences modulate Sox9 transcriptional activation at paired Sox sites in three chondrocyte-specific enhancer elements
Expression of the type XI collagen gene Col11a2 is directed to cartilage by at least three chondrocyte-specific enhancer elements, two in the 5′ region and one in the first intron of the gene. The three enhancers each contain two heptameric sites with homology to the Sox protein-binding consensus sequence. The two sites are separated by 3 or 4 bp and arran

5. Rates and patterns of chloroplast DNA evolution.
The chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of plants has been a focus of research in plant molecular evolution and systematics. Several features of this genome have facilitated molecular evolutionary analyses. First, the genome is small and constitutes an abundant component of cellular DNA. Second, the chloroplast genome has been extensively characterized at the molecul

6. DNA Sequence and Mutational Analyses of the pVir Plasmid of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176
The circular pVir plasmid of Campylobacter jejuni strain 81-176 was determined to be 37,468 nucleotides in length with a G+C content of 26%. A total of 83% of the plasmid represented coding information, and all but 2 of the 54 predicted open reading frames were encoded on the same DNA strand. There were seven genes on the plasmid in a continguous region of 8

7. Contingency Tests of Neutrality Using Intra/Interspecific Gene Trees: The Rejection of Neutrality for the Evolution of the Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase II Gene in the Hominoid Primates
Contingency tests of neutrality are performed using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (COII) DNA sequences from hominoid primates, including humans. An intra-/interspecific haplotype tree is estimated, including a statistical assessment of ambiguities in tree topology and branch lengths. Four functional mutational categories are considered: silent and repl

8. Fidelity and Mutational Spectrum of Pfu DNA Polymerase on a Human Mitochondrial DNA Sequence
The study of rare genetic changes in human tissues requires specialized techniques. Point mutations at fractions at or below 10−6 must be observed to discover even the most prominent features of the point mutational spectrum. PCR permits the increase in number of mutant copies but does so at the expense of creating many additional mutations or “PCR noise

9. Molecular basis for discriminating between normal and damaged bases by the human alkyladenine glycosylase, AAG
The human 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase [alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG)] catalyzes the first step of base excision repair by cleaving damaged bases from DNA. Unlike other DNA glycosylases that are specific for a particular type of damaged base, AAG excises a chemically diverse selection of substrate bases damaged by alkylation or deamination. The

10. Phosphorylation represses Ets-1 DNA binding by reinforcing autoinhibition
Phosphorylation of transcription factors is a key link between cell signaling and the control of gene expression. Here we report that phosphorylation regulates DNA binding of the Ets-1 transcription factor by reinforcing an autoinhibitory mechanism. Quantitative DNA-binding assays show that calcium-dependent phosphorylation inhibits Ets-1 DNA binding 50-fold

11. The RpoH-Mediated Stress Response in Neisseria gonorrhoeae Is Regulated at the Level of Activity
The general stress response in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated. Transcriptional analyses of the genes encoding the molecular chaperones DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE suggested that they are transcribed from σ32 (RpoH)-dependent promoters upon exposure to stress. This was confirmed by mutational analysis of the σ32 promoter of dnaK. The gene encoding the gono

12. The determination of complete human mitochondrial DNA sequences in single cells: implications for the study of somatic mitochondrial DNA point mutations
Studies of single cells have previously shown intracellular clonal expansion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations to levels that can cause a focal cytochrome c oxidase (COX) defect. Whilst techniques are available to study mtDNA rearrangements at the level of the single cell, recent interest has focused on the possible role of somatic mtDNA point muta
