The allele frequency of GATT and Mp6D-9 markers was investigated in 32 cystic fibrosis (CF) families. The GATT6 allele was found to be significantly associated with the DELTAF508 mutation. The Mp6D-9 allele 2/GATT6 haplotype was the major haplotype of the mutant alleles. Further analysis of CF alleles for population-specific mutations is underway so that a more direct approach can be taken, especially for families seeking prenatal diagnosis.

Novel BRCA2 pathogenic genotype and breast cancer phenotype discordance in monozygotic triplets
Duzkale, Neslihan; EYERCİ, NİLNUR; Oksuzoglu, Berna; Teker, Taner; Kandemir, Olcay (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01)
BRCA1/2 genes with high-penetrance are tumor suppressor and tumor susceptibility genes that play important roles in the homologous recombination mechanism in DNA repair and increase breast cancer risk. Variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are the main causes of familial and early-onset breast cancer. This study investigated pathogenic variant belonging to the BRCA2 gene splice region in monozygotic triplets. A 44-year-old woman was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 32 years old. Her monozygotic sister had a h...
PCR cloning and heterologous expression of Scytalidium thermophilum laccase gene in Aspergillus sojae
Koçlar, Gülden; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
In this study, Scytalidium thermophilum laccase gene was first cloned into E. coli and then heterologously expressed in A. sojae. S. thermophilum is a thermophilic fungus with an important role in determining selectivity of compost produced for growing Agaricus bisporus. S. thermophilum laccase gene was first cloned by Novo Nordisk Bio Tech, Inc. in 1998. This laccase gene (lccS) has an open reading frame of 2092bp. It is composed of five exons punctuated by four small introns. The coding region, excluding ...
Functional characterization of microrna-125b expression in MCF7 breast cancer cell line
Tuna, Serkan; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2010)
microRNA dependent gene expression regulation has roles in diverse processes such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, deregulated miRNA expression has functional importance for various diseases, including cancer. miR-125b is among the commonly downregulated miRNAs in breast cancer cells . Therefore we aimed to characterize the effects of miR-125b expression in MCF7 breast cancer cell line (BCCL) to better understand its roles in tumorigenesis. Here, we investigated mir-125 family mem...
Cloning and characterization of industrially important alpha-galactosidase genes from the human pathogen aspergillus fumigatus
Söyler, U. Betül; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2004)
In this study, molecular cloning studies were performed on the a-galactosidase genes of Aspergillus fumigatus IMI 385708. This organism is an opportunistic saprophytic fungus and a human pathogen, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. A. fumigatus is a thermotolerant fungus and can efficiently produce thermostable a-galactosidase. Two different cloning strategies were undertaken in this study. A. fumigatus cDNA library, prepared previously, was screened with three different probes. No net results wer...
Cloning and expression of periplasmic (clp p-like) and membrane-bound serine protease genes of thermoplasma volcanium in escherichia coli
Demirok, Burçak; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2006)
Serine proteases are a family of proteases that utilize an activated serine residue in the substrate-binding pocket to catalytically hydrolyze peptide bonds. Enzymes which belong to this family, with a diverse array of metabolic and regulatory functions, play critical roles in cell physiology and pathology. ءClp̕s are a class of ATP dependent serine proteases which are composed of a protease (ClpP) and an ATPase (ClpA or ClpX) component. Their involvements in degrading proteins are especially implicated und...
