The genetics of catalase in Drosophila melanogaster: isolation and characterization of acatalasemic mutants.Genetics - Tập 122 Số 3 - Trang 643-652 - 1989
William J. Mackay, Glenn C. Bewley
Abstract Activated oxygen species have been demonstrated to be the important
agents in oxygen toxicity by disrupting the structural and functional integrity
of cells through lipid peroxidation events, DNA damage and protein inactivation.
The biological consequences of free radical damage have long been hypothesized
to be a causal agent in many aging-related diseases. Catalase (H2O2:H2O2

An Allele of RFA1 Suppresses RAD52-Dependent Double-Strand Break Repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeGenetics - Tập 151 Số 2 - Trang 447-458 - 1999
Julianne Smith, Rodney Rothstein
Abstract An allele of RFA1, the largest subunit of the single-stranded
DNA-binding complex RP-A, was identified as a suppressor of decreased
direct-repeat recombination in rad1 rad52 double mutants. In this study, we used
two LEU2 direct-repeat assays to investigate the mechanism by which the
rfa1-D228Y allele increases recombination. We found that both intrachromatid and
sister chromatid recombin... hiện toàn bộ
Requirement for Three Novel Protein Complexes in the Absence of the Sgs1 DNA Helicase in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeGenetics - Tập 157 Số 1 - Trang 103-118 - 2001
Janet R. Mullen, Vivek Kaliraman, Samer Ibrahim, Steven J. Brill
Abstract The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sgs1 protein is a member of the RecQ
family of DNA helicases and is required for genome stability, but not cell
viability. To identify proteins that function in the absence of Sgs1, a
synthetic-lethal screen was performed. We obtained mutations in six
complementation groups that we refer to as SLX genes. Most of the SLX genes
encode uncharacterized open readin... hiện toàn bộ
Genomic Prediction in Animals and Plants: Simulation of Data, Validation, Reporting, and BenchmarkingGenetics - Tập 193 Số 2 - Trang 347-365 - 2013
Hans D. Daetwyler, M.P.L. Calus, Ricardo Pong‐Wong, Gustavo de los Campos, John M. Hickey
AbstractThe genomic prediction of phenotypes and breeding values in animals and
plants has developed rapidly into its own research field. Results of genomic
prediction studies are often difficult to compare because data simulation
varies, real or simulated data are not fully described, and not all relevant
results are reported. In addition, some new methods have been compared only in
limited genet... hiện toàn bộ
The Extent of Linkage Disequilibrium in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)Genetics - Tập 177 Số 4 - Trang 2223-2232 - 2007
Kristie A. Mather, Ana L. Caicedo, Nicholas R. Polato, Kenneth M. Olsen, Susan R. McCouch, Michael D. Purugganan
Abstract Despite its status as one of the world's major crops, linkage
disequilibrium (LD) patterns have not been systematically characterized across
the genome of Asian rice (Oryza sativa). Such information is critical to fully
exploit the genome sequence for mapping complex traits using association
techniques. Here we characterize LD in five 500-kb regions of the rice genome in
three major culti... hiện toàn bộ
Needles: Toward Large-Scale Genomic Prediction with Marker-by-Environment InteractionGenetics - Tập 203 Số 1 - Trang 543-555 - 2016
Arne De Coninck, Bernard De Baets, Drosos Kourounis, Fabio Verbosio, Olaf Schenk, Steven Maenhout, Jan Fostier
Abstract Genomic prediction relies on genotypic marker information to predict
the agronomic performance of future hybrid breeds based on trial records.
Because the effect of markers may vary substantially under the influence of
different environmental conditions, marker-by-environment interaction effects
have to be taken into account. However, this may lead to a dramatic increase in
the computatio... hiện toàn bộ
Involvement ofEscherichia coliDNA Polymerase IV in Tolerance of Cytotoxic Alkylating DNA Lesionsin VivoGenetics - Tập 176 Số 3 - Trang 1431-1440 - 2007

AbstractEscherichia coli PolIV, a DNA polymerase capable of catalyzing synthesis
past replication-blocking DNA lesions, belongs to the most ubiquitous branch of
Y-family DNA polymerases. The goal of this study is to identify spontaneous DNA
damage that is bypassed specifically and accurately by PolIV in vivo. We
increased the amount of spontaneous DNA lesions using mutants deficient for
different ... hiện toàn bộ
Mutants of Escherichia coli with increased fidelity of DNA replication.Genetics - Tập 134 Số 4 - Trang 1023-1030 - 1993
Iwona J. Fijałkowska, R L Dunn, Roel M. Schaaper
Abstract To improve our understanding of the role of DNA replication fidelity in
mutagenesis, we undertook a search for Escherichia coli antimutator strains with
increased fidelity of DNA replication. The region between 4 and 5 min of the E.
coli chromosome was mutagenized using localized mutagenesis mediated by
bacteriophage P1. This region contains the dnaE and dnaQ genes, which encode,

Bipartite Inhibition of Drosophila Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor by the Extracellular and Transmembrane Domains of Kekkon1Genetics - Tập 167 Số 1 - Trang 187-202 - 2004
Diego Alvarado, Amy H Rice, Joseph B. Duffy
AbstractIn Drosophila, signaling by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
is required for a diverse array of developmental decisions. Essential to these
decisions is the precise regulation of the receptor's activity by both
stimulatory and inhibitory molecules. To better understand the regulation of
EGFR activity we investigated inhibition of EGFR by the transmembrane protein
