Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis (2006)

Kahmann, Regine, Bölker, Michael, Ma, Li-Jun, Brefort, Thomas, Saville, Barry J, ...

Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism for the study of plant-microbe interactions. This basidiomycete fungus does not use aggressive virulence...

A complementary transposon tool kit for Drosophila melanogaster using P and piggyBac (2004)

Singer, Matthew A, Miyazaki, Wesley Y, Milash, Brett, Dompe, Nicholas A, Singh, Carol M, ...

With the availability of complete genome sequence for Drosophila melanogaster, one of the next strategic goals for fly researchers is a complete gene knockout collection. The P-element transposon,...

Mutational and structural analysis of the lectin activity in binding domain 2 of ricin B chain (1994)

Lehar, Sophie M., Pedersen, Jan T., Kamath, Ravi S., Swimmer, Candace, Goldmacher, Victor S., Lambert, John M., ...

The study of the lectin binding sites of ricin B chain and of other homologous members of the small gene family that make up ricin-like molecules has revealed a number of key contact residues...

The chorion genes of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata, I: structural and regulatory conservation of the s36 gene relative to two Drosophila species (1990)

Konsolaki, Mary, Komitopoulou, Katia, Tolias, Peter P., King, Dennis L., Swimmer, Candace, Kafatos, Fotis C.

We have used low stringency screening with the Drosophila meianogaster s36 chorion gene to recover its homologue from genomic and cDNA libraries of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata. The same gene has...

Selection of Sequence elements that substitute for the standard AATAAA motif which signals 3' processing and polyadenylation of late simian virus 40 mRNAs (1985)

Swimmer, Candace, Shenk, Thomas

A method is described which allows selection of sequences which can substitute for the normal AATAAA hexanucleotide involved in polyadenylation of SV40 late mRNAs. Plaques were generated from viral...
