Capecchi, Mario R. | Expression of a microinjected porcine class I major histocompatibility complex gene in transgenic mice. | A porcine class I major histocompatibility complex (SLA) gene has been introduced into the genome of a C57BL/10 mouse. This transgenic mouse expressed SLA antigen on its cell surfaces and transmitted the gene to offspring, in which the gene is also expressed. Skin grafts of such transgenic mice were... | Genetic Engineering; Graft Rejection; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1985-05-03 |

Potts, Wayne K. | Fall migration of Golden Eagles in the Wellsville Mountains, Northern Utah, 1976-1979 | Migratory movements of Golden Eagles were investigated in detail as part of a 4-year autumn raptor migration study atop an 8,600-foot ridge in the Wellsville Mountains. In 856 observation hours (161 days) between 6 August and 28 November, 898 Golden Eagles (10% of the oral raptor flight) were counte... | Wellsville Mountains; Golden eagles; Fall migration | 1984 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Feather-busting bacteria | I ONCE HAD A COLLEAGUE who delighted in the aphorism, which he proudly coined himself, "If it's too small to see with the naked eye, it ain't there." Sadly, this view may as well be true for ornithologists who study birds only through unaided eyes, binoculars, or spotting scopes. But birds can also ... | Columba livia; Columbiformes; Ectoparasites; Bacteria; Plumage | 1999 |

Moon, Ann M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Fgf8 is required for outgrowth and patterning of the limbs. | The expression pattern and activity of fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) in experimental assays indicate that it has important roles in limb development, but early embryonic lethality resulting from mutation of Fgf8 in the germ line of mice has prevented direct assessment of these roles. Here we rep... | Animals; Body Patterning; Bone Morphogenetic Proteins; Ectoderm | 2000-12-26 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | Flagellar anti-σ factor FlgM actively dissociates Salmonella typhimurium σ28 RNA polymerase holoenzyme | The anti-σ factor FlgM of Salmonella typhimurium inhibits transcription of class 3 flagellar genes through a direct interaction with the flagellar-specific σ factor, σ28. FlgM is believed to prevent RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme formation by sequestering free σ28. We have analyzed FlgM-media... | sigma-factors; transcription; FlgM; Flagellum | 1998 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | Flagellar-specific transcription factor, σ28, is the Type III secretion chaperone for the flagellar-specific anti-σ28 factor FlgM | The σ28 protein is a member of the bacterial σ70-family of transcription factors that directs RNA polymerase to flagellar late (class 3) promoters. The σ28 protein is regulated in response to flagellar assembly by the anti-σ28 factor FlgM. FlgM inhibits σ28-dependent transcription of genes wh... | Flagellum; gene regulation; Type III secretion; FlgM | 2006 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | FliT selectively enhances proteolysis of FlhC Subunit in FlhD4C2 complex by an ATP-dependent protease, ClpXP | We previously reported that the ClpXP ATP-dependent pro-tease specifically recognizes and degrades the flagellar master transcriptional activator complex, FlhD 4C2, to negatively control flagellar biogenesis. The flagellum-related protein, FliT, isalso a negative regulator of flagellar regulon by in... | | 2014-01-01 |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Food quality, competition, and parasitism influence feeding preference in a neotropical lepidopteran | We surveyed Lepidoptera found on 11 species of Inga (Fabaceae:Mimosoideae) co-existing on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, to evaluate factors influencing diet choice. Of the 47 species of caterpillars (747 individuals) recorded, each fed on a distinct set of Inga. In the field, 96% of the individuals... | Competition; Electivity; Gelechiid; Herbivore growth; Fabaceae; Inga; Leaf expansion; Leafing phenology; Lipidoptera; Panama; Parasitism; Plant quality | 2006 |

Sekercioglu, Cagan | Forest fragmentation hits insectivorous birds hard | Habitats around the world, especially in the tropics, are being fragmented at a rapid rate, causing a tremendous loss of biodiversity[1]. For example, 12% of the approximately 10,000 bird species are threatened with extinction in the next 10 to 100 years, and another 8% are near-threatened[2]. This ... | | 2002-01-01 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Four-gene study of evolutionary relationships in Solanum section Acanthophora | The "spiny solanums," Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum (Solanaceae), comprise a large lineage with over 350 species and include the cultivated eggplant, Solanum melongena. Despite the importance of this subgenus, phylogenetic relationships among these taxa are currently unclear.

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F. | Frameshifting in gene 10 of bacteriophage T7 | Gene 10 of bacteriophage T7, which encodes the most abundant capsid protein, has two products: a major product, 10A (36 kDa), and a minor product, 10B (41 kDa). 10B is produced by frameshifting into the -1 frame near the end of the 10A coding frame and is incorporated into the capsid.

Jorgensen, Erik | Function and misfunction of the two promoters of the Drosophila Antennapedia gene | In the Antennapedia (Antp) gene of Drosophila melanogaster, structurally distinct RNAs arise from different transcription initiation sites. When the two sites are separated by a chromosome inversion, transcripts are produced from each fragment of the split Antp locus, and these RNAs initiate at the ... | RNA; Antp; Hybridization | 1987 |

Carrier, David R. | Functional tradeoffs in specialization for fighting versus running | Both locomotion and fighting are critical to survival and reproductive fitness in many vertebrate species. Yet, characters that make an individual good at fighting may, in many cases, limit locomotor performance and vice versa.

Capecchi, Mario R. | Fundamental cellular processes do not require vertebrate-specific sequences within the TATA-binding protein. | The 180-amino acid core of the TATA-binding protein (TBPcore) is conserved from Archae bacteria to man. Vertebrate TBPs contain, in addition, a large and highly conserved N-terminal region that is not found in other phyla.
