Oral streptogramins in the management of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. (2003)
Journal Article
Dancer, S. J., Robb, A., Crawford, A., & Morrison, D. (2003). Oral streptogramins in the management of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 51, 731-735. https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkg143

Objectives: Chronic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in debilitated patients are difficult to treat. We studied the clinical efficacy and safety of an oral streptogramin, pristinamycin, for these patients.

Patients an... Read More about Oral streptogramins in the management of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections..

The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo (2003)
Journal Article
Fraser, J. A., Kansagra, P., Kotecki, C., Saunders, R. D. C., & McLellan, L. I. (2003). The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 278(47), 46369-46377. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m308035200

Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) has a key influence on glutathione homeostasis. It has been proposed that mammalian GCL is regulated by the redox environment, and we show here that cysteine residues in the Drosophila melanogaster GCL modifier subunit...

Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage (2003)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Smith, L., & La Thangue, N. B. (2003). Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage. Nature Cell Biology, 5(5), 401-409. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb974

The E2F-1 transcription factor is regulated during cell cycle progression and induced by cellular stress, such as DNA damage. We report that checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) regulates E2F-1 activity in response to the DNA-damaging agent etoposide. A Chk2 c... Read More about Chk2 activates E2F-1 in response to DNA damage.
