Huang, Lin Eric | HIF-1? mediates tumor hypoxia to confer a perpetual mesenchymal phenotype for malignant progression | Although tumor progression involves genetic and epigenetic alterations to normal cellular biology, the underlying mechanisms of these changes remain obscure. Numerous studies have shown that hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF-1?) is overexpressed in many human cancers and up-regulates a host of hypoxi... | ||

Capecchi, Mario R. | N-formylmethionyl-sRNA as the initiator of protein synthesis. | A bizarre fast about Nterminal groups of bacterial proteins. Instead of a random mixture, that the great majority of N-terminal groups were either methionine or alanine. This finding suggested that methionine and alanine constituted start signals for the initiation of polypeptide chains. Alternative... | Electrophoresis; Formates; In Vitro; Methionine | 1966-01-01 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Initiation of E. coli proteins. | Recent experiments and theoretical arguments suggest that formylmethionyl sRNA is employed as an initiator of protein synthesis. Studies also indicated that other phage proteins synthesized in the in vitro system were initiated with formylmethionine. These observations provided a basis for believin... | Alanine; Chromatography, Paper; Dipeptides | 1966-06 |

Gussin, Gary N.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Protein synthesis directed by DNA phage messengers. | Even through the amino acids corresponding to most of the 64 nucleotide triplets are now known, several important aspects of the genetic code are not yet fully understood. In particular we need more knowledge about the "punctuation marks" of the code-for example, the signals necessary for the initia... | Carbon Isotopes; Escherichia coli; Genetic Code; Methionine | 1967-09-01 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Polypeptide chain termination in vitro: isolation of a release factor. | The growing polypeptide chain remains bound to the ribosome-messenger RNA complex through the sRNA carrying the last amino acid incorporated into the polypeptide chain.' On completion of the polypeptide chain a mechanism must exist for releasing it from the protein-synthesizing machinery. To date, m... | Carbon Isotopes; Phenylalanine; Proteins | 1967-09-01 |
