Locus-Specific Requirements for Spt5 in Transcriptional Activation and Repression in Drosophila
Segmental patterning in Drosophila relies on a cascade of transcription factors that subdivide the embryo into successively more precise domains. We have identified a missense mutation (W049) in the gene encoding the transcriptional elongation factor Spt5 (reviewed in ) which, when homozygous in the maternal germ line, leads to defects in segmental patterning of the embryo. W049 alters the C-te...
متن کاملRequirements for transcriptional repression and activation by Engrailed in Drosophila embryos.
Genetic analysis shows that Engrailed (En), a homeodomain-containing transcription factor, has both negative and positive targets. Negative regulation is expected from a factor that has a well-defined repressor domain but activation is harder to comprehend. We used VP16En, a form of En that had its repressor domain replaced by the activation domain of VP16, to show that En activates targets usi...

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
A role for SUMO modification in transcriptional repression and activation.
Since the discovery of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) family of proteins just over a decade ago, a plethora of substrates have been uncovered including many regulators of transcription. Conjugation of SUMO to target proteins has generally been considered as a repressive modification. However, there are now a growing number of examples where SUMOylation has been shown to activate tr...
متن کاملP-92: Specific Activation Requirements of In Vitro Matured Sheep Oocytes following Vitrification-Warming
Background: Oocyte vitrification and assisted oocyte activation have increasingly important implications in assisted reproductive technology. However, an important area of concern with matured oocyte cryobiology is that elements of oocytes intimately involved in metaphase-II arrest may be modified by cryopreservation. In a comparison between different cellular characteristics of unvitrified, vi...
