Midkine (Mdk) and heparin-binding neurotrophic factor (Hbnf)/pleiotrophin (Ptn) comprise the Midkine family of developmentally regulated signaling molecules. We have determined the chromosomal localization of these genes in the mouse by use of single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs), which

The regulatory NodD proteins of Rhizobium bacteria mediate the activation of a gene set responsible for symbiotic nodule formation by plant signal molecules. Here we discuss the signal recognition and gene activation properties of NodD and present a model summarizing the current knowledge on NodD ac
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was identified as a heparin-binding polypeptide mitogen with a target cell specificity restricted to vascular endothelial cells. Molecular cloning reveals the existence of four species of VEGF having 121, 165, 189, and 206 amino acids. These have strikingly
Two types of interleukin I (IL-la and IL-IB) have been defined by purifying the molecules from activated human peripheral blood cells, followed by cloning and expressing the molecules in Escherichia coli. Both types of IL-1 stimulate proliferation and diferentiation of T-and B-lymphocytes and induce
## Abstract The extent to which local strain is present in the polypeptide backbone of folded protein molecules has been examined. The occurrence of steric strain associated with nonproline __cis__ peptide bonds and energetically unfavorable main chain dihedral angles can be identified reliably fro
