Welcome to BMC Molecular Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Molecular Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of DNA and RNA in a cellular context, encompassing investigations of chromatin, replication, recombination, mutation, repair, transcription, translation and RNA processing and function.
BMC Molecular Biology (ISSN 1471-2199) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Molecular Biology 2009, 10 :103
A putative regulatory sequence has been characterized within exon 6A of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA, which is involved in alternative splicing of this exon and regulates the expression levels of the isoforms of VEGF.
BMC Molecular Biology 2009, 10 :101
The hypoxia-tolerant grass carp has two CITED3 genes whose promoters bind HIF-1 as they are induced by hypoxia in the liver and kidneys, and whose products are co-transcriptional regulators that interact with p300 and affect HIF-1 activity.
BMC Molecular Biology 2009, 10 :89
Monomers of the transcriptional regulator C-terminal binding protein 2 (CtBP2) bind competitively to the PLDLS-motif cofactor zinc-finger E-box binding homeobox (ZEB) and the histone deacetylase HDAC2, but do not mediate transcriptional repression, while dimers which bind both are functional.
