Recombination involving transposable elements: role of target molecule replication in Tn1 delta Ap-mediated replicon fusion.

abstract：:Transcription, splicing, and translation are potentially coordinately regulatable in a temporospatial-dependent manner, although supporting experimental evidence for this notion is scarce. Yeast two-hybrid screening of a mammary gland cDNA library with human p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) as bait identified polyC-RNA-b...
