A role for transportin in the nuclear import of adenovirus core proteins and DNA (2007)
Journal Article

Adenoviruses target their double-stranded DNA genome and its associated core proteins to the interphase nucleus; this core structure then enters through the nuclear pore complex. We have used digitonin permeabilized cell import assays to study the ce... Read More about A role for transportin in the nuclear import of adenovirus core proteins and DNA.

Changes in the balance of the tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs)-1 and -3 may promote keratocyte apoptosis in keratoconus (2007)
Journal Article

Keratoconus is a disease in which the central cornea becomes thinned. This could result from corneal stromal cell apoptosis or be induced or perpetuated by the activation of matrix degrading enzymes, particularly members of the matrix metalloproteina...

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 differentially binds to components of Bruch's membrane (2006)
Journal Article

Background: Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) is caused by mutations in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-3 and, with the exception of early onset, is similar to age-related macular degeneration. The pathological features of this condition r... Read More about Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 differentially binds to components of Bruch's membrane.

Nucleolar protein upstream binding factor is sequestered into adenovirus DNA replication centres during infection without affecting RNA polymerase I location or ablating rRNA synthesis (2006)
Journal Article

When human adenovirus infects human cells there is disruption of rRNA biogenesis. This report examines the effect of adenovirus infection on the nucleolar protein, upstream binding factor (UBF) which plays a major role in regulating rRNA synthesis. W...

Keratoconus: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 activation and TIMP modulation (2006)
Journal Article

Keratoconus is an ocular condition that causes corneal thinning, cone formation and scarring. In view of a hypothesis that activated MMP-2 may initiate or facilitate disease progression, the MMP-2/TIMP systems of stromal cells derived from normal and...

Precursor of human adenovirus core polypeptide Mu targets the nucleolus and modulates the expression of E2 proteins (2004)
Journal Article

We have examined the subcellular localization properties of human adenovirus 2 (HAdV-2) preMu and mature Mu (pX) proteins as fusions with enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP). We determined that preMu is exclusively a nucleolar protein with a s...

Ultrastructural localization of sulfated and unsulfated keratan sulfate in normal and macular corneal dystrophy type I (2000)
Journal Article

Keratan sulfate (KS) proteoglycans are of importance for the maintenance of corneal transparency as evidenced in the condition macular corneal dystrophy type I (MCD I), a disorder involving the absence of KS sulfation, in which the cornea becomes opa...
