Lyons, et al., "Purification, cloning and RXR identity of the HeLa cell factor with which RAR or TR heterodimerizes to bind target sequences efficiently," Cell, 68:377-95, 1992. Mark Leid (Oregon State University, Corvallis): "The diverse effects of retinoic acid (RA) on development, cellular growth and differentiation, and homeostasis are mediated by two families of RA receptors that arose independently during evolution and belong to the steroid/thyroid hormone super

A. Kazlauskas, C. Ellis, T. Pawson, J.A. Cooper, "Binding of GAP to activated PDGF receptors," Science, 247:1578-81, 1990. Andrius Kazlauskas (National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Denver): "The GTPase activator protein of ras (GAP) is one of a number of recently discovered proteins that appear to maintain nucleotide binding proteins such as ras in an inactive state, that is, coupled with GDP instead of GTP. Since regulation of GAP activity could affect cellular leve

Michel Philippe (Universite de Rennes, Rennes Cédex, France): "In yeast, two critical points of the cell cycle (Start and G1/S) are regulated by the same protein. This protein, called p34cdc2, is coded by the genes cdc2 in Schizzosaccharomyces pombe and CDC28 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By complementation of yeast mutants, proteins from higher eucaryotes homologous to cdc2 have been cloned. Moreover, p34cdc2 has been shown to be one of the main components of the well-known M-phase promotin

S. Ghosh, D. Baltimore, "Activation in vitro of NF-kB by phosphorylation of its inhibitor IkB," Nature, 344:678-82, 1990. Sankar Ghosh (Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Mass.): "This paper brings together two areas of rapidly moving research: the role of protein phosphorylation and control of transcriptional regulation. The inhibitor IkB not only keeps the transcription factor NF-kB in the cytoplasm--away from DNA--but also directly prevents it from binding to DNA. By sh
