Journal Article Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark) · May 2001 Clathrin adaptor protein AP-1 complex is thought to function in forming clathrin-coated vesicles at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and mediating transport of cargo between the TGN and endosomes. To study trafficking of AP-1 in living cells, yellow fluoresce ... Full text Cite

Interaction of EGF receptor and grb2 in living cells visualized by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy.

Journal Article Current biology : CB · November 2000 The interaction of activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the growth-factor-receptor binding protein Grb2 initiates signaling through Ras and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) [1,2]. Activation ... Full text Cite

Inhibition of the receptor-binding function of clathrin adaptor protein AP-2 by dominant-negative mutant mu2 subunit and its effects on endocytosis.

Journal Article The EMBO journal · May 1999 Although interactions between the mu2 subunit of the clathrin adaptor protein complex AP-2 and tyrosine-based internalization motifs have been implicated in the selective recruitment of cargo molecules into coated pits, the functional significance of this ...

Endocytosis of functional epidermal growth factor receptor-green fluorescent protein chimera.

Journal Article The Journal of biological chemistry · December 1998 A chimera of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been engineered by fusing GFP to the carboxyl terminus of EGFR. Data are provided to demonstrate that the GFP moiety does not affect the expected functioning o ... Full text Cite

Structure and Asn-Pro-Phe binding pocket of the Eps15 homology domain.

Journal Article Science (New York, N.Y.) · August 1998 Eps15 homology (EH) domains are eukaryotic signaling modules that recognize proteins containing Asn-Pro-Phe (NPF) sequences. The structure of the central EH domain of Eps15 has been solved by heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fold consists ... Full text Cite

Eps15 is constitutively oligomerized due to homophilic interaction of its coiled-coil region.

Journal Article The Journal of biological chemistry · June 1997 Eps15 is a member of an emerging family of proteins containing a novel protein/protein interaction domain, the EH domain, of as yet unknown function. Recent findings of Eps15 association with clathrin adaptor complex AP-2 and its localization in clathrin-c ... Full text Cite

Extra-pair fertilizations and paternity defence in house martins, Delichon urbica

Journal Article Animal Behaviour · January 1, 1995 DNA fingerprinting showed that 15% of 62 house martin nestlings at study colonies in central Scotland were not related to their putative fathers, and 32% of 19 broods contained at least one extra-pair chick. There was no evidence of intraspecific brood par ... Full text Cite

No evidence for extrapair fertilizations in the merlin revealed by DNA fingerprinting.

Journal Article Molecular ecology · June 1994 Broods of young merlins were compared with the adults in attendance at their nest by DNA fingerprinting. No offspring were found that mismatched genetically suggesting that intraspecific brood parasitism and extrapair fertilization are very rare in this po ... Full text Cite

A case study of the interpretation of linkage data using DNA fingerprinting probes

Journal Article Molecular Ecology · January 1, 1993 The statistical power of the technique of DNA fingerprinting relies greatly on the ability of the investigator to make an assumption that the presence or absence of different fingerprint bands are independent. Such linkage equilibrium is unlikely if bands ... Full text Cite

Genetic evidence for extra.pair fertilisations in socially monogamous short.tailed shearwaters, puffinus tenuirostris (Procellariif ormes: Procellariidae), using DNA fingerprinting

Journal Article Australian Journal of Zoology · January 1, 1993 Genetic relationships between adults and nestlings of the short.tailed shearwater, Puffinus tenuirostris, were analysed by multilocus DNA fingerprinting. Short.tailed shearwaters are socially monogamous, forming strong pair bonds, often for many years. The ... Full text Cite

The use of genetic markers for parentage analysis in Passer domesticus (house sparrows)

Journal Article Heredity · January 1, 1992 The relationships between 420 Passer domesticus (house sparrow) nestlings from 144 broods and the adults which fed them were determined using genetic markers. The inheritance and independence of six polymorphic enzymes observed with starch gel electrophore ... Full text Cite

The application of DNA fingerprinting in the analysis of gynogenesis in tilapia

Journal Article Aquaculture · June 1, 1991 The technique of DNA fingerprinting using human minisatellite probes is applied to the study of gynogenetically derived fish in two tilapia species, Oreochromis aureus and O. niloticus. In O. aureus, analysis of the progeny of a cross between two putative ... Full text Cite

The variability of DNA fingerprints in three species of swan

Journal Article Heredity · January 1, 1990 The genetic variation in three species of swans was examined by DNA fingerprinting. Human minisatellite probes detected a number of highly variable fragments in the restriction digests of total nuclear DNA. Assuming bands to be independent, the average all ... Full text Cite
