چکیده
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomally caused form of mental retardation and is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. The over-expression of genes located on the trisomic region has been assumed to be responsible for the phenotypic abnormalities of DS, but this hypothesis has not been confirmed fully and the very existence of gene dosage effects has been called into question. We have therefore investigated global gene expression profiles in Ts1Cje, a mouse model for DS that displays learning deficits and has a segmental trisomy of chromosome 16 orthologous to a segment of human chromosome 21 spanning from Sod1 to Znf295. DNA microarray analyses of six Ts1Cje and six normal littermate (2N ) mouse brains at postnatal day 0 with probe sets representing approximately 11 300 genes revealed that the number of expressed genes and their identities in Ts1Cje mice were almost same in 2N mice. Notably, the expression levels of most genes in the trisomic region were increased 1.5-fold, and the top 24 most consistently over-expressed genes in the Ts1Cje mice were all located in the trisomic region. In contrast, the expression levels of genes on other chromosomes or the euploid region of chromosome 16 were largely the same (1.0-fold) in Ts1Cje and 2N mice. These results indicate that the genes in the trisomic region of Ts1Cje are over-expressed in a dosage-dependent manner and are implicated in the molecular pathogenesis of DS.

Conformational changes in tertiary structure near the ligand binding site of an integrin I domain.
For efficient ligand binding, integrins must be activated. Specifically, a conformational change has been proposed in a ligand binding domain present within some integrins, the inserted (I) domain [Lee, J., Bankston, L., Arnaout, M. & Liddington, R. C. (1995) Structure (London) 3, 1333-1340]. This proposal remains controversial, however, despite extensive crystal structure studies on the I doma...

متن کاملNGC 1333: A Nearby Burst of Star Formation
NGC 1333 is the currently most active region of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud. The presence of emission-line stars and Herbig-Haro objects first established NGC 1333 as an active region of star formation. Today, NGC 1333 is one of the best studied extremely young clusters of low to intermediate mass stars. This region is rich in sub-mm cores, embedded YSOs, radio continuum sourc...
