The link between restriction endonuclease fidelity and oligomeric state: a study with Bse634I.

abstract：:Aquaporin-4, a predominant water channel in the central nervous system, has two isoforms, M1 and M23, whose transcripts are driven by distinct promoters. Using a reporter assay, we found that a fragment located between exons 0 and 1 of the mouse aquaporin-4 gene, which had been thought to be the promoter for M23, lack...

To identify the Hb-binding domain of HbR, we cloned and expressed several truncated proteins of HbR and determined their ability to bind Hb. Our findings reveal that 90% of Hb-binding activity is retained in HbR41-80 in comparison...
