    Description: Mutations in MeCP2, which encodes a protein that has been proposed to function as a global transcriptional repressor, are the cause of Rett syndrome (RT T), an X-linked progressive neurological disorder. Although the selective inactivation of MeCP2 in neurons is sufficient to confer a Rett-like phenotype in mice, the specific functions of MeCP2 in postmitotic neurons are not known. We find that MeCP2 binds selectively to BDNF promoter III and functions to repress expression of the BDNF gene. Membrane depolarization triggers the calcium-dependent phosphorylation and release of MeCP2 from BDNF promoter III, thereby facilitating transcription. These studies indicate that MeCP2 plays a key role in the control of neuronal activity-dependent gene regulation and suggest that the deregulation of this process may underlie the pathology of RT T.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Wen G -- Chang, Qiang -- Lin, Yingxi -- Meissner, Alexander -- West, Anne E -- Griffith, Eric C -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Greenberg, Michael E -- HD 18655/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS28829/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 31;302(5646):885-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neuroscience, Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14593183" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We have discovered frequent variations in the near-infrared spectrum of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, which are indicative of the daily presence of sparse clouds covering less than 1% of the area of the satellite. The thermodynamics of Titan's atmosphere and the clouds' altitudes suggest that convection governs their evolutions. Their short lives point to the presence of rain. We propose that Titan's atmosphere resembles Earth's, with clouds, rain, and an active weather cycle, driven by latent heat release from the primary condensible species.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Griffith, C A -- Hall, J L -- Geballe, T R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 20;290(5491):509-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics and Astronomy, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6010, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11039930" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Golgi-localized, gamma-ear-containing, adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor-binding proteins (GGAs) are multidomain proteins that bind mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) in the Golgi and have an essential role in lysosomal enzyme sorting. Here the GGAs and the coat protein adaptor protein-1 (AP-1) were shown to colocalize in clathrin-coated buds of the trans-Golgi networks of mouse L cells and human HeLa cells. Binding studies revealed a direct interaction between the hinge domains of the GGAs and the gamma-ear domain of AP-1. Further, AP-1 contained bound casein kinase-2 that phosphorylated GGA1 and GGA3, thereby causing autoinhibition. This could induce the directed transfer of the MPRs from GGAs to AP-1. MPRs that are defective in binding to GGAs are poorly incorporated into AP-1-containing clathrin-coated vesicles. Thus, the GGAs and AP-1 interact to package MPRs into AP-1-containing coated vesicles.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Doray, Balraj -- Ghosh, Pradipta -- Griffith, Janice -- Geuze, Hans J -- Kornfeld, Stuart -- R01 CA-08759/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Sep 6;297(5587):1700-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Internal Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12215646" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tissue engineering can be used to restore, maintain, or enhance tissues and organs. The potential impact of this field, however, is far broader-in the future, engineered tissues could reduce the need for organ replacement, and could greatly accelerate the development of new drugs that may cure patients, eliminating the need for organ transplants altogether.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Griffith, Linda G -- Naughton, Gail -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Feb 8;295(5557):1009-14.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemical Engineering, Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Health, and Biotechnology Process Engineering Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. griff@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11834815" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The smoggy stratosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, veils its surface from view, except at narrow wavelengths centered at 0.83, 0.94, 1.07, 1.28, 1.58, 2.0, 2.9, and 5.0 micrometers. We derived a spectrum of Titan's surface within these "windows" and detected features characteristic of water ice. Therefore, despite the hundreds of meters of organic liquids and solids hypothesized to exist on Titan's surface, its icy bedrock lies extensively exposed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Griffith, Caitlin A -- Owen, Tobias -- Geballe, Thomas R -- Rayner, John -- Rannou, Pascal -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 25;300(5619):628-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Planetary Sciences, University of Arizona, 1629 East University Boulevard, Tucson, AZ 85721-0092, USA. griffith@lpl.arizona.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12714742" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We sequenced the 29,751-base genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus known as the Tor2 isolate. The genome sequence reveals that this coronavirus is only moderately related to other known coronaviruses, including two human coronaviruses, HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-229E. Phylogenetic analysis of the predicted viral proteins indicates that the virus does not closely resemble any of the three previously known groups of coronaviruses. The genome sequence will aid in the diagnosis of SARS virus infection in humans and potential animal hosts (using polymerase chain reaction and immunological tests), in the development of antivirals (including neutralizing antibodies), and in the identification of putative epitopes for vaccine development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marra, Marco A -- Jones, Steven J M -- Astell, Caroline R -- Holt, Robert A -- Brooks-Wilson, Angela -- Butterfield, Yaron S N -- Khattra, Jaswinder -- Asano, Jennifer K -- Barber, Sarah A -- Chan, Susanna Y -- Cloutier, Alison -- Coughlin, Shaun M -- Freeman, Doug -- Girn, Noreen -- Griffith, Obi L -- Leach, Stephen R -- Mayo, Michael -- McDonald, Helen -- Montgomery, Stephen B -- Pandoh, Pawan K -- Petrescu, Anca S -- Robertson, A Gordon -- Schein, Jacqueline E -- Siddiqui, Asim -- Smailus, Duane E -- Stott, Jeff M -- Yang, George S -- Plummer, Francis -- Andonov, Anton -- Artsob, Harvey -- Bastien, Nathalie -- Bernard, Kathy -- Booth, Timothy F -- Bowness, Donnie -- Czub, Martin -- Drebot, Michael -- Fernando, Lisa -- Flick, Ramon -- Garbutt, Michael -- Gray, Michael -- Grolla, Allen -- Jones, Steven -- Feldmann, Heinz -- Meyers, Adrienne -- Kabani, Amin -- Li, Yan -- Normand, Susan -- Stroher, Ute -- Tipples, Graham A -- Tyler, Shaun -- Vogrig, Robert -- Ward, Diane -- Watson, Brynn -- Brunham, Robert C -- Krajden, Mel -- Petric, Martin -- Skowronski, Danuta M -- Upton, Chris -- Roper, Rachel L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 30;300(5624):1399-404.

    Description: Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have activating mutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, and most patients with GISTs respond well to Gleevec, which inhibits KIT kinase activity. Here we show that approximately 35% (14 of 40) of GISTs lacking KIT mutations have intragenic activation mutations in the related receptor tyrosine kinase, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA). Tumors expressing KIT or PDGFRA oncoproteins were indistinguishable with respect to activation of downstream signaling intermediates and cytogenetic changes associated with tumor progression. Thus, KIT and PDGFRA mutations appear to be alternative and mutually exclusive oncogenic mechanisms in GISTs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heinrich, Michael C -- Corless, Christopher L -- Duensing, Anette -- McGreevey, Laura -- Chen, Chang-Jie -- Joseph, Nora -- Singer, Samuel -- Griffith, Diana J -- Haley, Andrea -- Town, Ajia -- Demetri, George D -- Fletcher, Christopher D M -- Fletcher, Jonathan A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 31;299(5607):708-10.

    Description: Alteration of the human mismatch repair gene hMSH2 has been linked to the microsatellite DNA instability found in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer and several sporadic cancers. This microsatellite DNA instability is thought to arise from defective repair of DNA replication errors that create insertion-deletion loop-type (IDL) mismatched nucleotides. Here, it is shown that purified hMSH2 protein efficiently and specifically binds DNA containing IDL mismatches of up to 14 nucleotides. These results support a direct role for hMSH2 in mutation avoidance and microsatellite stability in human cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fishel, R -- Ewel, A -- Lee, S -- Lescoe, M K -- Griffith, J -- CA56542/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM31819/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM42342/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 25;266(5189):1403-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Markey Center for Molecular Genetics, University of Vermont School of Medicine, Burlington 05405.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973733" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The expansion of CTG repeats in DNA occurs in or near genes involved in several human diseases, including myotonic dystrophy and Huntington's disease. Nucleosomes, the basic structural element of chromosomes, consist of 146 base pairs of DNA coiled about an octamer of histone proteins and mediate general transcriptional repression. Electron microscopy was used to examine in vitro the nucleosome assembly of DNA containing repeating CTG triplets. The efficiency of nucleosome formation increased with expanded triplet blocks, suggesting that such blocks may repress transcription through the creation of stable nucleosomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Y H -- Amirhaeri, S -- Kang, S -- Wells, R D -- Griffith, J D -- GM 30822/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM31819/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM42342/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 29;265(5172):669-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036515" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
