A new pattern for helix–turn–helix recognition revealed by the PU. l ETS–domain–DNA complex

R Kodandapani, F Pio, CZ Ni, G Piccialli, M Klemsz… - Nature, 1996 - nature.com
THE Ets family of transcription factors, of which there are now about 35 members 1,2 , regulate
gene expression during growth and development. They share a conserved domain of …

Guanine-rich RNAs and DNAs that bind heme robustly catalyze oxygen transfer reactions

…, SP Methot, W Morabi-Pazooki, F Pio… - Journal of the …, 2011 - ACS Publications
Diverse guanine-rich RNAs and DNAs that fold to form guanine quadruplexes are known to
form tight complexes with Fe(III) heme. We show here that a wide variety of such complexes …

New insights on DNA recognition by ets proteins from the crystal structure of the PU. 1 ETS domain-DNA complex

F Pio, R Kodandapani, CZ Ni, W Shepard… - Journal of Biological …, 1996 - ASBMB
Transcription factors belonging to the ets family regulate gene expression and share a
conserved ETS DNA-binding domain that binds to the core sequence 5′-(C/A)GGA(A/T)-3′. …

Neutrophils deficient in PU. 1 do not terminally differentiate or become functionally competent

KL Anderson, KA Smith, F Pio… - Blood, The Journal of …, 1998 - ashpublications.org
PU.1 is an ets family transcription factor that is expressed specifically in hematopoietic lineages.
Through gene disruption studies in mice we have previously shown that the expression …

PAAD–a new protein domain associated with apoptosis, cancer and autoimmune diseases

K Pawlowski, F Pio, ZL Chu, JC Reed… - Trends in biochemical …, 2001 - cell.com
A new protein domain was found in several proteins involved in apoptosis, inflammation,
cancer and immune responses. Its location within these proteins and predicted fold suggests …

RPA nucleic acid-binding properties of IFI16-HIN200

…, BK Hon, P Youkharibache, D Lau, F Pio - … et Biophysica Acta (BBA …, 2008 - Elsevier
InterFeron-γ Inducible protein 16 (IFI16) belongs to the interferon inducible HIN200 protein
family that contains transcriptional regulators linked to cell cycle regulation and differentiation…

Monoclonal antibodies against LDL further enhance macrophage uptake of LDL aggregates.

JC Khoo, E Miller, F Pio, D Steinberg… - … and Thrombosis: A …, 1992 - Am Heart Assoc
Self-aggregates of low density lipoprotein (LDL) are taken up and degraded more rapidly by
macrophages than is native LDL. That enhanced uptake is attributable in part to …

Saturated BLAST: an automated multiple intermediate sequence search used to detect distant homology

W Li, F Pio, K Pawłowski, A Godzik - Bioinformatics, 2000 - academic.oup.com
Motivation: Two proteins can have a similar 3-dimensional structure and biological function,
but have sequences sufficiently different that traditional protein sequence comparison …

Co-crystallization of an ETS Domain (PU. 1) in Complex with DNA: ENGINEERING THE LENGTH OF BOTH PROTEIN AND OLIGONUCLEOTIDE (∗)

F Pio, CZ Ni, RS Mitchell, J Knight, S McKercher… - Journal of Biological …, 1995 - ASBMB
The PU.1 transcription factor is a member of the ets gene family of regulatory proteins. These
molecules play a role in normal development and also have been implicated in malignant …

ASO Author Reflections: Surgical Management of Wilms Tumors with Intravenous Extension: A Multicenter Analysis of Clinical Management with Technical Insights
