The transcription factors called Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) collectively are dimers of two subunits derived from the Fos, Jun and ATF families1. Dimerization is mediated by the bzip domain of the subunits. For instance, cJun can dimerize with c-Fos or ATF-2. Each AP-1 dimer selects a closely related but distinct element in target promoters2,3. Nevertheless the function of these numerous AP-1 dimers is yet ill understood. One approach to dissecting the different roles has been chosen in overexpression studies: transfection or infection of c-Jun mutants whose dimerization interphase was altered such that their dimerization abilities are restricted. To explore the function of such restricted dimers in vivo, we prepared targeting vectors that could be used for insertional mutagenesis, that is replacement of the endogeneous gene by the mutant gene. In paralel we used c-Jun null murine fibroblasts to introduce the Jun expressing genes as expression constructs and tested their target promoter specificity.

Towards the asymmetric synthesis of ascochlorin Doğan, Özdemir (2001-01-01) A synthetic approach is described to the asymmetric synthesis of ascochlorin (1), an antiviral antibiotic, based on the construction of a sesquiterpene unit via asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of tigloyl sultam 4 & butadiene, and the introduction of the aromatic side chain (C9-C12 unit) by employing cuprate chemistry.
Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development Bayyurt, Banu; Tincer, Gizem; Almacioglu, Kubra; Alpdundar, Esin; Gürsel, Mayda; GÜRSEL, İHSAN (Elsevier BV, 2017-02-10) Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering different signaling pathways and may impact antigen dependent T-cell immune memory. However, their short circulation time due to nuclease attack hampers their clinical performance. Liposomes offer inclusion of protein and nucleic acid-based drugs with high encapsulation efficiency and drug load...
Design of a sequence based miRNA clustering method; analysis of fungal miRNAs and host organism target genes Narcı, Kübra; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Oğul, Hasan; Department of Bioinformatics (2014) MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules which contain 21-25 nucleotides, and function in post transcriptional regulation by inhibiting the translation of mRNA targets. miRNAs typically affect gene regulation by forming composite feed forward circuits (cFFCs) which also comprise a transcription factor (TF) and a target gene. By analyzing these cFFCs, the contribution of miRNAs in altering TF networks can be revealed. These contributions could either be the de-escalation of the target gene repertoire or ...
Preparation of silica coated cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles for the purification of histidine-tagged proteins Aygar, Gulfem; Kaya, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Kocabıyık, Semra; Volkan, Mürvet (2015-12-01) Surface modified cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles containing Ni-NTA affinity group were synthesized and used for the separation of histidine tag proteins from the complex matrices through the use of imidazole side chains of histidine molecules. Firstly, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were prepared in an aqueous solution using the controlled co-precipitation method. In order to obtain small CoFe2O4 agglomerates, oleic acid and sodium chloride were used as dispersants. The CoFe2O4...
Contemplation on some cyclic N 8 isomers-A DFT treatment Türker, Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2018-2) Various cyclic N-8 isomers are considered at the levels of B3LYP/6-311 ++G(d,p) and B3LYP/cPVTZ. Some energies and molecular orbital properties are obtained. The structures are found to be stable in the singlet state but mostly unstable in the triplet. The heats of formation values calculated by means of T1 recipe reveals that they are highly endothermic. NICS(0) values have been calculated and aromaticity/antiaromaticity of the rings are discussed. Additionally, theoretical IR, UV-VIS spectra and the calcu...
