Alterations in the actin cytoskeleton following the formation of cell-matrix and cell-cell junctions are orchestrated by vinculin. Vinculin associates with a large number of cytoskeletal and signaling proteins, and this flexibility is thought to contribute to rapid dissociation and reassociations of adhesion complexes. Intramolecular interactions between vinculin's head (Vh) and tail (Vt) domains...
Minisatellites are a class of highly polymorphic GC-rich tandem repeats. They include some of the most variable loci in the human genome, with mutation rates ranging from 0.5% to >20% per generation. Structurally, they consist of 10- to 100-bp intermingled variant repeats, making them ideal tools for dissecting mechanisms of instability at tandem repeats. Distinct mutation processes generate rare...
Abstract. Mouse expanded simple tandem repeats (ESTRs) provide highly informative loci for analyzing spontaneous and induced germline mutation. We have conducted an extensive sequence database search and identified 17 new members of the highly unstable rodent-specific ESTR family called MMS10. This family has arisen by independent expansions of a common GGCAGA repeat unit from within a subset of both...
