Gain of function in Mycobacterium bovis BCG Moreau due to loss of a transcriptional repressor

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (11), 2018
The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine comprises a family of genetically different strains derived by the loss of genomic regions (RDs) and other mutations. In BCG Moreau, loss of RD16 inactivates rv3405c * , encoding a transcriptional repressor that negatively regulates the expression of Rv3406, an...

FAMLF is a target of miR-181b in Burkitt lymphoma

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (6), 2017
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is closely related to the abnormal expression of genes. Familial acute myelogenous leukemia related factor (FAMLF; GenBank accession No. EF413001.1) is a novel gene that was cloned by our research group, and miR-181b is located in th...
