Molecular genetic approaches to microtubule-associated protein function.
Protein function in vivo can be studied by deleting (knock-out) the gene that encodes it, and search for the consequences. This procedure involves different technologies, including recombinant DNA procedures, cell biology methods and histological and immunocytochemical analysis. In this work we have reviewed these procedures when they have been applied to ascertain the function of several micro...
متن کاملModern molecular genetic approaches to psychiatric disease.
Major advances in molecular genetics over the last 15 years have made it possible to identify the genes responsible for human diseases using purely genetic approaches that do not require knowledge about disease pathophysiology. Many successes have been achieved for single gene disorders and methods are being adapted and refined for complex diseases. The main strategies include linkage and assoc...
متن کاملMolecular driving forces defining lipid positions around aquaporin-0.
Lipid-protein interactions play pivotal roles in biological membranes. Electron crystallographic studies of the lens-specific water channel aquaporin-0 (AQP0) revealed atomistic views of such interactions, by providing high-resolution structures of annular lipids surrounding AQP0. It remained unclear, however, whether these lipid structures are representative of the positions of unconstrained l...
متن کاملDefining lipid raft structure and function with proximity imaging.
THE PRESENCE OF LIPID MICRODOMAINS in eukaryotic plasma membranes, later termed lipid rafts, was first postulated almost two decades ago (2, 23, 25). The existence of these domains has profoundly changed our view of the plasma membrane, as proposed by Singer and Nicolson (26). Since then, many important cellular functions, including signal transduction (24), pathogen invasion/uptake (13), intra...
متن کاملMolecular biological approaches to genetic disorders in prenatal diagnosis.
DNA analysis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and hemophilia A was performed with the aim of establishing the most efficient and reliable method for carrier and prenatal diagnosis in the Japanese population.
