| 1 |  | Olivera, Baldomero M. | Poly(ADP-ribosylation) of DNA topoisomerase I: a nuclear response to DNA-strand interruptions | DNA in eukaryotic chromosomes is organized differently from prokaryotic DNA. It seems highly probable that mechanistic adjustments have been made in macromolecular DNA metabolism as a consequence of the chromatin structure of the eukaryotic chromosome (Igo-Kemenes et al. 1982)). This paper deals ... | Poly(ADP-ribosylation); Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase; DNA strand interruption | 1984 |
| 2 |  | 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 |
| 3 |  | 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.
