Unusual usage of noncomplementary dinucleotide primers by the yeast mitochondrial RNA polymeraseT K Biswas
Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Arch Biochem Biophys 340:250-6. 1997..Further analysis of mitochondrial promoter function by site-directed mutagenesis determined that the guanine nucleotide at position +2 is mainly responsible for this unusual function of the SP promoter...
Usage of non-canonical promoter sequence by the yeast mitochondrial RNA polymeraseT K Biswas
Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, 5841 S Maryland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Gene 212:305-14. 1998....
Nucleotide sequences surrounding the nonanucleotide promoter motif influence the activity of yeast mitochondrial promoterT K Biswas
Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Biochemistry 38:9693-703. 1999..These results suggest that the transcriptional efficacy of the yeast mt promoter is influenced by sequence 3' to the promoter...
The single amino acid changes in the yeast mitochondrial S4 ribosomal protein cause temperature-sensitive defect in the accumulation of mitochondrial 15S rRNAT K Biswas
Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Biochemistry 38:13042-54. 1999..These mutations do not affect the mitochondrial import or accumulation of Mna6p. Rather the evidence points to an inability of mutant Mna6p to be assembled into the mitoribosomes of cells grown at 36 degrees C...
Requirement of different mitochondrial targeting sequences of the yeast mitochondrial transcription factor Mtf1p when synthesized in alternative translation systemsTapan K Biswas
Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, 5841 South Maryland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Biochem J 383:383-91. 2004..This appears to be the first example of usage of different targeting sequences for the transport of a single mt protein into the mt matrix...
The specific amino acid sequence between helices 7 and 8 influences the binding specificity of human apolipoprotein A-I for high density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses: a potential for HDL preferential generationRonald Carnemolla
Department of Pathology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
J Biol Chem 283:15779-88. 2008..The expression of these mutants in mice may result in the preferential generation of HDL(2) or HDL(3) and allow us to examine experimentally the anti-atherogenicity of the HDL subclasses...
