| 1 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Ivanov, Ivaylo P.; Atkins, John F. | Programmed frameshifting in the synthesis of mammalian antizyme is +1 in mammals, predominantly +1 in fission yeast but "2 in budding yeast | The coding sequence for mammalian ornithine decarboxylase antizyme is in two different partially overlapping reading frames with no independent ribosome entry to the second ORF. Immediately before the stop codon of the first ORF, a proportion of ribosomes undergo a quadruplet translocation event t... | Antizyme; Frameshifting; Ornithine decarboxylase antizyme; Recoding; S. pombe | 1998 |
| 2 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W. | Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expression | ABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat... | Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes | 2005 |
| 3 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Wills, Norma M. | -1 frameshifting at a CGA AAG hexanucleotide site is required for transposition of insertion sequence IS1222 | The discovery of programmed _x0001_1 frameshifting at the hexanucleotide shift site CGA_AAG, in addition to the classical X_XXY_YYZ heptanucleotide shift sequences, prompted a search for instances among eubacterial insertion sequence elements. IS1222 has a CGA_AAG shift site. A genetic analysis re... | Hexanucleotides; Heptanucleotides; Frameshifting | 2004 |
| 4 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Wills, Norma M. | Upstream stimulators for recoding | Recent progress in elucidation of 5' stimulatory elements for translational recoding is reviewed.

| 5 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F. | Processing of adenovirus 2-induced proteins | Analysis of (35)S-methionine-labeled extracts of adenovirus 2-infected KB cells revealed 22 virus-induced polypeptide components. Most proteins of the virion were easily detected in extracts of whole cells labeled for short periods between 15 and 30 h after infection; however, several virion compone... | Adenoviridae; Viral Proteins; Protein Precursors; Methionine; Mouth Neoplasms | 1973 |
| 6 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F. | Origin and destiny of adenovirus proteins | Lytic infection of human cells by adenovirus proceeds by a temporal expression of genes. Classically two phases have been defined: an early phase, which includes events occurring before the onset of DNA synthesis (8 hours), and a late phase, including events whose existence depends on the onset of... | Protein Biosynthesis; DNA, Viral; Adenoviridae; RNA, Viral; Time Factors | 1975 |

| 8 |  | Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F. | Evolutionary specialization of recoding: frameshifting in the expression of S. cerevisiae antizyme mRNA is via an atypical antizyme shift site but is still +1 | An autoregulatory translational shift to the +1 frame is required for the expression of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme from fungi to mammals. In most eukaryotes, including all vertebrates and a majority of the studied fungi/yeast, the site on antizyme mRNA where the shift occurs is UCC-UGA.

| 9 |  | Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Introduction of homologous DNA sequences into mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate gene. | Injection of homologous DNA sequences into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate chromosomal gene. It appears that these mutations result from incorrect repair of a heteroduplex formed between the introduced and the chromosomal sequence. This phenomenon is termed 'heter... | Animals; Cell Line; Drug Resistance, Microbial; Fibroblasts; Mice; Models, Genetic; Neomycin; Plasmids | 1986-11-06 |
| 10 |  | 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.

Exploring embryonic tumor cell origins, we replaced a Pax3 allele with Pax3:Fkhr throughout its expression do... | Neuroprogenitor; Embryogenesis | 2004-11-01 |

The testes-specific promoter from the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene was used to drive expression of the Cre-recombinase gene.

| 15 |  | Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Maintenance of functional equivalence during paralogous Hox gene evolution. | Biological diversity is driven mainly by gene duplication followed by mutation and selection. This divergence in either regulatory or protein-coding sequences can result in quite different biological functions for even closely related genes. This concept is exemplified by the mammalian Hox gene comp... | Alleles; Animals; Cervical Vertebrae; Embryo; Genetic Complementation Test; Homeodomain Proteins; Homozygote; Mice | 2000-02-10 |

Expression studies, however, suggest that the normal function of this gene may be in spermatogenesis and in the development of the central nervous system.
