    Laura Ciapponi
    Department of Biomedical Genetics, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
    Mech Dev 115:35-40. 2002
    ..We conclude that Jun and Fos play complementary roles that are both required for signal transduction and gene activation during dorsal closure...
  2. ncbi Telomere capping and cellular checkpoints: clues from fruit flies
    L Ciapponi
    Dipartimento di Genetica e Biologia Molecolare, Universita di Roma La Sapienza, Roma, Italy
    Cytogenet Genome Res 122:365-73. 2008
    ..These results indicate that the DNA repair systems play multiple roles at Drosophila telomeres, highlighting the importance of this model organism for investigations on the relationships between DNA repair and telomere maintenance...

    Giovanni Cenci

    Chromosoma 114:135-45. 2005
    ..We believe that the molecular characterization of these genes will lead to identification of many novel human genes with roles in telomere maintenance...

    Grazia D Raffa
    Istituto Pasteur Fondazione Cenci Bolognetti and Istituto di Biologia e Patologia Molecolari del CNR, Dipartimento di Genetica e Biologia Molecolare, Sapienza, Universita di Roma, Ple A Moro 5, 00185 Roma, Italy
    Nucleus 2:383-91. 2011
    ..Based on these findings, we propose that concomitant with telomerase loss Drosophila rapidly evolved terminin to bind chromosome ends in a sequence-independent fashion, and that terminin is functionally analogous to shelterin...

    Leuk Lymphoma 43:2369-75. 2002
    ..Such effects may depend on the availability of large amounts of soluble IL-6R. Further studies should aim at defining the conditions necessary for optimal antiproliferative activity...

    Dipartimento di Genetica e Biologia Molecolare, Istituto di Biologia e Patologia Molecolari del CNR, Rome, Italy
    PLoS Genet 4:e1000126. 2008
    ..We can foresee that elaboration of co-expression lists using genes in the same phenocluster will provide many candidate genes for small-scale RNAi screens aimed at completing the inventory of mitotic proteins...
