Tissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
متن کاملAllele-specific gene expression uncovered.
Genetic variation in populations can result in variation in levels of gene expression but the extent to which this occurs has been unclear. In this article, recent studies of allele-specific expression among autosomal non-imprinted genes are reviewed. These new data provide evidence that differential expression is relatively common and that allelic differences are heritable and can be highly co...
متن کاملAllele-specific expression of angiotensinogen in human subcutaneous adipose tissue.
The angiotensinogen gene is genetically linked with hypertension, but the mechanistic basis for association of sequence variants in the promoter and coding region of the gene remains unclear. An E-box at position -20 has been hypothesized to control the level of angiotensinogen expression, but its mechanistic importance for angiotensinogen expression in human tissues is uncertain. We developed ...
متن کاملTissue-Specific Differences in Human Transfer RNA Expression
Over 450 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes have been annotated in the human genome. Reliable quantitation of tRNA levels in human samples using microarray methods presents a technical challenge. We have developed a microarray method to quantify tRNAs based on a fluorescent dye-labeling technique. The first-generation tRNA microarray consists of 42 probes for nuclear encoded tRNAs and 21 probes for mito...
متن کاملAllele-Specific Gene Silencing
Cardiac arrhythmias are a major healthcare problem in the developed world. The American Heart Association 2017 statistical report indicates that atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac rhythm disorder, has an ≈25% lifetime incidence and annual costs of ≈26 billion dollars, whereas sudden cardiac death (usually caused by malignant arrhythmias) affects fewer individuals (just under 200 000 A...
