Protein A gene expression is regulated by DNA supercoiling which
... As the expression of the protein A gene is dramatically repressed by high salt concentrations (1 M NaCl) and as high osmolarity alters the degree of plasmid DNA supercoiling, we looked at the effect of changing the degree of DNA supercoiling on protein A gene expression. We first determined the conc ...

Accepted for publication June 20, 2007 ABSTRACT The size of eukaryotic genomes can vary by several orders of magnitude, yet genome size does not correlate with the number of genes nor with the size or complexity of the organism.

Methylation of the Factor IX Gene is the Main Source of Mutations
... A total of 750 mutations in the human coagulation factor IX gene in 806 patients with hemophilia В were analyzed. It was found that 40% of all point mutations occur in 11 "hot spots," which are CG methylation sites where *CG TG or *CG CA substitutions take place. A mechanism is proposed which expl ...
