MafB Is Important for Pancreatic β-Cell Maintenance under a MafA-Deficient Condition.

abstract：:R-loops have been described in vivo at the immunoglobulin class switch sequences and at prokaryotic and mitochondrial origins of replication. However, the biochemical mechanism and determinants of R-loop formation are unclear. We find that R-loop formation is nearly eliminated when RNase T(1) is added during transcrip...

abstract：:Notch signaling commences with two ligand-mediated proteolysis events that release the Notch intracellular domain, NICD, from the plasma membrane. NICD then translocates into the nucleus and interacts with the DNA binding protein CSL to activate transcription. We found that NICD expression also potentiates activity of...
