The Alzheimer disease (AD) amyloid protein precursor (APP) can bind the FE65 adaptor and this complex regulate gene expression. We carried out yeast two-hybrid studies with a PTB domain of FE65, focusing on those genes that might be involved in nuclear signaling, identified validated Teashirt proteins as interacting neurons. Using reporter systems, we observed could simultaneously recruit SET, component inhibitor acetyl transferase, Teashirt, which turn recruited histone deacetylases, to...

Cholesterol content of cerebral membranes is tightly regulated by elaborate mechanisms that balance the level cholesterol synthesis, uptake and efflux. Among conventional regulatory elements, a recent research focus has been nuclear receptors, superfamily ligand-activated transcription factors providing an indispensable framework in controlling metabolism pathway genes. The mechanism transcriptional regulation receptors such as LXRs involves formation heterodimers with RXRs. LXR/RXR...

Background and objectives: Chromosomal abnormalities play an important role in genesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have prognostic implications. Five major risk stratifying fusion genes ALL are BCR-ABL, MLL-AF4, ETV6-RUNX11, E2A-PBX1 SIL-TAL1. This work aimed to detect common chromosomal translocations associated oncogenes adult patients study their relationship with clinical features treatment outcome.

Rat sarcoma gene (RAS) holds great importance in pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The activated mutations Neuroblastoma rat viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) and Kirsten (KRAS) confers proliferative survival signals, deliberating numerous effects on overall progression free AML patients. In this study thirty one (31) blood samples adult newly diagnosed patients were collected to identify possible incidence through amplification KRAS (exon 1 2) NRAS using polymerase chain reaction...

BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutations are well known for causing resistance against tyrosine inhibitors (TKIs) and disease progression in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In recent years, compound have emerged as a new threat to CML patients by higher degrees of involving multiple TKIs, including ponatinib. However, there limited reports about association with imatinib (IM) sensitive patients. Therefore, we investigated presence ABL-KD phase (n = 41), late 33) accelerated 16) responders....

Pomegranate peels (PPW) as municipal waste is inexpensive biomass that could be a renewable source of sugars particularly rich in hemicellulosic contents. The subsequent conversion available PPW can provide prospective strategy for cost-effective bioenergy production. In this study, an experimental setup based on CCD was implemented with the aim bioconversion into bioethanol. factors considered were Hydrochloric acid concentration (X1), hydrolysis temperature (X2) and time (X3) optimization...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a bone marrow malignancy having multiple molecular pathways driving its progress. In recent years, the main causes of AML considered all over world are genetic variations in cancerous cells. The RUNX1 and FLT3 genes necessary for normal hematopoiesis differentiation process hematopoietic stem cells into mature blood cells, therefore they most common targets point mutations resulting AML.We screened 32 CN-AML patients FLT3-ITD (by Allele-specific PCR) Sanger...

Different types of abiotic stresses inhibit the normal growth plants by changing their physical biochemical, morphological, and molecular traits. It links to polygenic traits, which is controlled with help different genes, due this polygenetic manipulation foreign genetic makeup very difficult. Drought stress major type threat reduce yield cash crops in Pakistan as well all over world. Gene solution face problem producing genetically modified crop that have ability survive drought...
