Role of the C-Terminal Domain of RNA Polymerase II in U2 snRNA Transcription and 3′ Processing

Jacobs, Erica Y., Ogiwara, Ikuo, Weiner, Alan M.

U small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and mRNAs are both transcribed by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), but the snRNAs have unusual TATA-less promoters and are neither spliced nor polyadenylated; instead, 3′...

V-SINEs: A New Superfamily of Vertebrate SINEs That Are Widespread in Vertebrate Genomes and Retain a Strongly Conserved Segment within Each Repetitive Unit

Ogiwara, Ikuo, Miya, Masaki, Ohshima, Kazuhiko, Okada, Norihiro

We have identified a new superfamily of vertebrate short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs), designated V-SINEs, that are widespread in fishes and frogs. Each V-SINE includes a central...

Sodium channel dysfunction in intractable childhood epilepsy with generalized tonic–clonic seizures

Rhodes, Thomas H, Vanoye, Carlos G, Ohmori, Iori, Ogiwara, Ikuo, Yamakawa, Kazuhiro, George, Alfred L

Mutations in SCN1A, the gene encoding the brain voltage-gated sodium channel α1 subunit (NaV1.1), are associated with genetic forms of epilepsy, including generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures...
