Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) functions as an oncogene and regulates angiogenesis.

abstract：:In enteric bacteria, the cellular response to oxidative stress is activated by oxidation of the iron-sulfur clusters in SoxR, which then induces transcription of soxS, turning on a battery of defense genes. Here we demonstrate both in vitro and in cells that activation of SoxR can occur in a DNA-mediated reaction with...
