Editor’s summary
Like its mammalian homologs, sea urchin Core Binding Factor beta binds to a Runx partner, but although Runt-1 deficiency affects embryonic differentiation and cell survival, CBFbeta knockdown affects only differentiation.

Editor’s summary
Analysis of the phyletic distribution and structural similarities of S-adenosylmethionine-binding proteins indicate that two widespread folds, the Rossman fold and TIM barrel, have repeatedly evolved for diverse types of reactions that require S-adenosylmethionine.

Editor’s summary
Sea urchin embryonic knockdown of either Runx protein or protein kinase C causes extensive apoptosis, while Runx deficiency is rescued by inhibition of caspase-3 and by PKC mRNA injection, providing evidence that Runx maintains PKC levels to ensure cell survival.

The Stowers Institute for Medical Research seeks more effective means of preventing and curing disease through basic research on genes and proteins that control fundamental processes of cellular life. Scientists at the Institute study the way genes determine biological fate and how they can be altered to prevent or slow disease.
