Ligands for only two human olfactory receptors are known. One of them, OR1D2, binds to Bourgeonal [Malnic B, Godfrey P-A, Buck L-B (2004) The human olfactory receptor gene family. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U. S. A. 101: 2584-2589 and Erratum in: Proc Natl Acad Sci U. S. A. (2004) 101: 7205]. OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5 are three full length olfactory receptors present in an olfactory locus in human geno...

This work presents a new method for the modeling and characterization of resistor, MOSFET and bipolar transistor mismatch for analog circuit design. For transistors, sensitivities numerically calculated from SPICE models were used to infer mismatch variances in process parameters, such as sheet resistance and geometry variation, from electrical parameter mismatch variances, such as collector cu...

Inheritance of a germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes predisposes human individuals to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, characterized by development of tumors predominantly in the colon, endometrium, and gastrointestinal tract. Mice heterozygous for a mismatch repair-null mutation generally do not have an increased risk of neoplasia. However, mice constitutively l...

The level and fate of hMSH3 (human MutS homolog 3) were examined in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 and its methotrexate-resistant derivative HL-60R, which is drug resistant by virtue of an amplification event that spans the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and MSH3 genes. Nuclear extracts from HL-60 and HL-60R cells were subjected to an identical, rapid purification protocol that effi...
