ADR1 and SNF1 Mediate Different Mechanisms in Transcriptional Regulation of Yeast POT1 Gene
We studied the consequences of adr1 and snf1 mutations on POT1 gene expression in different growth conditions. The results obtained reveal that ADR1 and SNF1 genes affect POT1 transcription in different ways: ADR1 has a minor role in derepression in low concentration of glucose but is essential for activation in stationary phase whereas SNF1 is essential for derepression and activation, although it does not seem to be directly involved in the molecular mechanism of activation in stationary phase.
Antisynthetase syndrome (AS) in patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of SAS in patients with ILD and its clinical characteristics, evolution and specific manifestations linked to each antisynthetase antibodies and highlight the need for its screening in ILD. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients registered in the last two years in our ILD unit, determining antisynthetase antibodies and analyzing clinical, radiological, functional data and illness evolution. Results: 119 ILD patients were included, 10.9% had antisynthetase antibodies, the most prevalent were Jo-1 (46.1%) and PL-12 (38.5%). In PL-12 patients inicial and respiratory syntoms were predominant, whereas in the Jo-1 patients were more frequent extrapulmo…
