WD40 repeat proteins similar to yeast MSI1 are conserved in animals and plants, in which
they participate in complexes involved in chromatin metabolism. Although MSI1-like proteins …

Unlike mammalian and yeast cells, little is known about how plants regulate G 1 progression
and entry into the S phase of the cell cycle. In mammalian cells, a key regulator of this …

Chromatin assembly factor CAF-1 facilitates the formation of nucleosomes on newly replicated
DNA in vitro. However, the role of CAF-1 in development is poorly understood because …

In mammalian cells, the retinoblastoma (RB) protein regulates G1 progression and functions
through its association with various cellular proteins. Two closely related mammalian RB …

The contact site A (csA) glycoprotein of Dictyostelium discoideum, a cell adhesion molecule
expressed in aggregating cells, is inserted into the plasma membrane by a ceramide-based …

A small family of proteins, MSI1-4, which are closely related to the mammalian
Retinoblastoma-associated protein (RbAp48) have been identified in Arabidopsis. RbAp48, a WD40-…

So many friends, colleagues, and others who could have been classified as competitors gave
selflessly to make this project a reality. It is all too likely that someone will be forgotten, and …

Most research in the life sciences involves a core set of molecular-based equipment and
methods, for which there is no shortage of step-by-step protocols. Nonetheless, there remains …

… Recent studies in Arabidopsis thaliana, including work by Lars Hennig, Patti Taranto and
colleagues [4], suggest that CAF-1 function is conserved in higher eukaryotes and extends to …

The aim of this research was to study the role of liguleless2 (lg2) during maize development.
Previous genetic analysis showed lg2 is involved in ligule/auricle development. The ligule …
