We report that the neuronal-specific basic helix-loophelix (bHLH) gene NSCL-1 is expressed at multiple and distinct stages of cerebellar granule cell differentiation. During embryonic development, NSCI-1 expression is initially evenly distributed in the cerebellar primordium and then becomes restric

โฆ Synopsis
We have previously identified NPDC-1, a gene specifically expressed in neural cells and involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. In the present study, we have investigated the expression of this gene during mouse development and the interactions of the NPDC-1 protein with cell cycle regulatory proteins. The data show that NPDC-1 mRNA begins to be expressed in a variety of neural structures when the precursors enter into their terminal differentiation. They also indicate that in adult brain, the expression patterns of NPDC-1 and E2F-1 mRNA largely overlap. In addition, the NPDC-1 protein is able to interact directly with the transcription factor E2F-1 that participates in the regulation of the cell cycle, cell survival, and apoptosis. The present results suggest that NPDC-1 might be involved in the terminal differentiation and survival of neural cells and might act through interactions with E2F-1.

## Abstract P2PโR is the alternately spliced product of the P2PโR/PACT gene in that P2PโR lacks one exon encoding 34 amino acids. The 250 kDa P2PโR protein is the predominate product expressed in multiple murine cell lines. It is a highly basic protein that contains multiple domains including an Nโ
In this study, the authors evaluated the prognostic significance of the expression of nucleolar antigen p120, along with other cell proliferationassociated proteins, in prostate adenocarcinomas (PACs) and compared the results with previously reported data on p34 cdc2 cyclin-dependent kinase (p34 cdk
