Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 89, No. 24 (Dec. 15, 1992), pp. 11779-11783 (5 pages) A distinct family of DNA-binding proteins is characterized ...

We describe a rapid and efficient in vivo library-versus-library screening strategy for identifying optimally interacting pairs of heterodimerizing polypeptides. Two leucine zipper libraries, ...

The glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) protein is emerging as a pivotal modulator in inflammation, bridging the anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids (GCs) with downstream immune ...

Organogenesis at the shoot meristem requires a delicate balance between stem cell specification and differentiation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, WUSCHEL (WUS) is a key factor promoting stem cell identity ...

Of the 20 essential amino acids, nine are actually essential. Of those nine, three are branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine falls into both groups. All BCAAS are vital for building and repairing ...

Leucine and isoleucine are among the 20 amino acids found naturally in the human body. They are very similar in structure but have small differences which change their physiological properties. Both ...
