Aberrant Post-translational Modifications (PTMs) in Methyl- and Propionic Acidemia and the Construction of a Novel Sirtuin (SIRT) Gene to Metabolize PTMs
Isolated Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) and the related disorder Propionic Acidemia (PA) comprise a relatively common and heterogeneous group of inborn errors of metabolism. NHGRI scientist discovered that in isolated MMA, a novel inhibitory PTM, methylmalonyllysine, is generated and inactivates protein targets through the failure of SIRT-mediated deacylation,...

Construction of an Infectious Full-Length cDNA Clone of the Porcine Enteric Calicivirus RNA Genome
Porcine enteric calicivirus (PEC) is a member of the genus Sapovirus in the family Caliciviridae. This virus causes diarrheal illness in pigs, and is presently the only enteric calicivirus that can be grown in cell culture. In addition to its relevance to veterinary medicine as a diarrheal agent in pigs, PEC serves as an important model for the study...
