Temporal regulation in development: negative and positive cis regulators dictate the precise timing of expression of a Drosophila chorion gene.

abstract：:The NMR structures of three single-amino acid variants of the C-terminal domain of the human prion protein, hPrP(121-230), are presented. In hPrP(M166V) and hPrP(R220K) the substitution is with the corresponding residue in murine PrP, and in hPrP(S170N) it is with the corresponding Syrian hamster residue. All three su...
