Extragenic Suppression analysis of TS mutations using Sec61p
During synthesis, secretory and membrane proteins are cotranslationally translocated into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum through an aqueous gated channel. Proper folding, degradation, and t…

Direct fluorophore conjugation to genomic DNA for microarray-based epigenomic profiling
A methodology for microarray based epigenomic profiling is presented. The method relies on platinum-based fluorescence labeling reagents for direct (non-enzymatic) labeling of DNA and RNA. This is …

PIM1-dependent phosphorylation of Histone H3 at Serine 10 is required for MYC-dependent transcriptional activation and oncogenic transformation.
The serine/threonine kinase PIM1, cooperates with MYC in cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. However, the nature of this cooperation remains elusive. Here we show that PIM1 contributes to the…
