  1. ncbi Nuclear variants of bone morphogenetic proteins
    Jenny E Felin
    Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, USA
    BMC Cell Biol 11:20. 2010
    ..They have previously been recognized only as secreted growth factors, but the present study detected Bmp2, Bmp4, and Gdf5/CDMP1 in the nuclei of cultured cells using immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting of nuclear extracts...
  2. ncbi Adjacent DNA sequences modulate Sox9 transcriptional activation at paired Sox sites in three chondrocyte-specific enhancer elements
    Laura C Bridgewater
    Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, 591 WIDB, Provo, UT 84602, USA
    Nucleic Acids Res 31:1541-53. 2003
    ..The data suggest a new model in which adjacently bound proteins affect the DNA bend angle produced by Sox9, which in turn determines whether an active transcriptional enhancer complex is assembled...
  3. ncbi The heterozygous disproportionate micromelia (dmm) mouse: morphological changes in fetal cartilage precede postnatal dwarfism and compared with lethal homozygotes can explain the mild phenotype
    Robert E Seegmiller
    Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA
    J Histochem Cytochem 56:1003-11. 2008
    ..Thus, intracellular entrapment of proalpha1(II) seems to be primarily responsible for the dominant-negative effect of the Dmm mutation in the expression of dwarfism...
