Exposure of normal, tall rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings to 5-azacytidine, a powerful inhibitor of DNA methylation in vivo, induced both demethylation of genomic DNA and dwarf plants. Genes that had been affected by treatment were identified by differential screening of a cDNA library, and a ras-relat

The cloning of small GTP-binding proteins from Petunia hybrida was performed using a PCR-based strategy. Degenerate primers were designed from the DTAGQE and FMETSA consensus sequences. Three different cDNAs were amplified. The deduced polypeptide sequences PhPCRGP1 and PhPCRGP2 were homologous to R
A cDNA clone encoding a small GTP binding protein (BRho) was isolated from an embryonic cDNA library of Bombyx mori that encoded a polypeptide with 202 amino acids sharing 60-80% similarity with the Rho1 family of GTP binding proteins. The effector site and one of the guanine nucleotide binding site
We previously demonstrated that the E. coli protein, H-NS (or H1a), encoded by the gene hns (or osmZ or bglY) preferentially recognizes curved DNA sequences in vitro. In order to gain further insight into the complex function of H-NS and the significance of DNA curvature, we constructed a structural
