Capecchi, Mario R. | Critical role of tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme as revealed by gene targeting in mice | Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) generates the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, which plays a critical role in maintenance of blood pressure in mammals. Although significant ACE activity is found in plasma, the majority of the enzyme is bound to tissues such as the vascular endothelium. We used ta... | Blood pressure; ACE activity; Enzyme | 1997-03-06 |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Colonization of tropical rain forest leaves by epiphylls: effects of site and host plant leaf lifetime | In humid tropical regions, leaves are frequently colonized by epiphylls (Richards 1954, Pocs 1978, 1982). Lichens and liverworts usually dominate, although mosses, algae, and cyanobacteria can also occur (Winkler 1971, Smith 1982). The interactions between epiphylls and host leaves have not been wel... | Tropical forest; Epiphylls; Panama; Hybanthus prunifolius; Light interception | 1993 |

Beckerle, Mary C.; Hoffman, Laura M. | Targeted disruption of the murine zyxin gene | Zyxin is an evolutionarily conserved protein that is concentrated at sites of cell adhesion, where it associates with members of the Enabled (Ena)/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family of cytoskeletal regulators and is postulated to play a role in cytoskeletal dynamics and signaling. | Zyxin | 2003 |

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. | Mice lacking endothelial angiotensin-converting enzyme have a normal blood pressure | To test the hypothesis that local vascular production of angiotensin II is necessary for the normal regulation of blood pressure, we engineered a new line of genetically altered mice that lack endothelial angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This was accomplished using a novel strategy of targeted... | | 2002 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kinetics | Abstract Relatively little is known about the viral factors contributing to the lethality of the 1918 pandemic, although its unparalleled virulence was likely due in part to the newly discovered PB1-F2 protein. This protein, while unnecessary for replication, increases apoptosis in monocytes, alter... | | 2011 |

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 |
