Null mutation of the prolactin receptor gene produces multiple reproductive defects in the mouse.

abstract：:Smads regulate transcription of defined genes in response to TGF-beta receptor activation, although the mechanisms of Smad-mediated transcription are not well understood. We demonstrate that the TGF-beta-inducible Smad3 uses the tumor suppressor Smad4/DPC4 and CBP/p300 as transcriptional coactivators, which associate ...

We investigated replication of UV-damaged DNA in Escherichia coli and found that ongoing replication stops for at least 15-20 min before resuming. Undamaged origins of replication (oriC) continue to fire at the normal rate and...
