Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) modular genes have been constructed with segments containing the adenovirus major late promoter, a 3' splice site from a variable region immunoglobulin gene, a DHFR...

Growth-dependent expression of dihydrofolate reductase mRNA from modular cDNA genes.

Kaufman, R J, Sharp, P A

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) synthesis is regulated in a growth-dependent fashion. Dividing cells synthesize DHFR at a 10-fold-higher rate than do stationary cells. To study this growth-dependent...

A large region (approximately equal to 95 kDa) of human factor VIII is dispensable for in vitro procoagulant activity.

Toole, J J, Pittman, D D, Orr, E C, Murtha, P, Wasley, L C, Kaufman, R J

Factor VIII (antihemophilic factor) is a high molecular weight plasma glycoprotein that participates in the blood clotting cascade. The recent cloning and sequence analysis of the cDNA encoding human...

Amplified dihydrofolate reductase genes are localized to a homogeneously staining region of a single chromosome in a methotrexate-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell line.

Nunberg, J H, Kaufman, R J, Schimke, R T, Urlaub, G, Chasin, L A

Methotrexate-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells selected for high resistance by progressive increments of methotrexate in the culture medium have levels of dihydrofolate reductase...

Identification of the components necessary for adenovirus translational control and their utilization in cDNA expression vectors.

Kaufman, R J

A transient expression system was used to study the role of the adenovirus late and simian virus 40 (SV40) early mRNA leader sequences and adenovirus virus-associated (VA) RNAs in mRNA translation....

Amplified dihydrofolate reductase genes in unstably methotrexate-resistant cells are associated with double minute chromosomes.

Kaufman, R J, Brown, P C, Schimke, R T

Selection of mammalian cells in progressively increasing concentrations of methotrexate results in selective amplification of DNA sequences coding for dihydrofolate reductase (tetrahydrofolate...

Linkage of combined factors V and VIII deficiency to chromosome 18q by homozygosity mapping.

Nichols, W C, Seligsohn, U, Zivelin, A, Terry, V H, Arnold, N D, Siemieniak, D R, ...

Combined Factors V and VIII deficiency is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder identified in at least 58 families comprising a number of different ethnic groups. Affected patients present with a...

Intracellular trafficking of factor VIII to von Willebrand factor storage granules.

Rosenberg, J B, Foster, P A, Kaufman, R J, Vokac, E A, Moussalli, M, Kroner, P A, ...

In plasma, von Willebrand factor (vWf) associates with Factor VIII (FVIII); however, the site at which these proteins first interact has not been defined. Administration of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine...

Cloning and expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4B cDNA: sequence determination identifies a common RNA recognition motif.

Milburn, S C, Hershey, J W, Davies, M V, Kelleher, K, Kaufman, R J

Eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor 4B (eIF-4B) is an 80,000 dalton polypeptide which is essential for the binding of mRNA to ribosomes. A highly purified preparation of eIF-4B from HeLa...

Translational efficiency of polycistronic mRNAs and their utilization to express heterologous genes in mammalian cells.

Kaufman, R J, Murtha, P, Davies, M V

The translation of polycistronic mRNAs in mammalian cells was studied. Transcription units, constructed to contain one, two or three open reading frames (ORFs), were introduced stably into Chinese...

Overexpression of GRP78 mitigates stress induction of glucose regulated proteins and blocks secretion of selective proteins in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Dorner, A J, Wasley, L C, Kaufman, R J

GRP78 is a resident protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and a member of the glucose regulated protein (GRP) family. Many secretion incompetent proteins are found in stable association with...
