The program, seqsee, from the U. of Alberta can perform alignments
to the entire protein database or a subset of sequences. It'll also do 
structure prediction, pattern searches ... and more. An excerpt from the
help file is enclosed at the end of this posting.

	I was very impressed by a demonstration of Jane Richardson's
Kinemage (sp?) program, currently being distributed as part of what you
receive with a subscription to the journal Protein Science. Diskettes with 
coordinates for relevant proteins come with the journal issue, so it permits 
the reader to view protein structures described in the articles in
more detail and with much more flexibility than would be available using 
printed figures.  The instructions to the authors cover how to generate
Kinemage files from normal PDB coords, so I suppose one could use it as a
viewer totally independent of the journal as well.  I don't know what happens
to Kinemage diskettes belonging to library copies of Portein Science - maybe
you should ask if your library has kept them to check out with the journal?

Huh?  Two genes may be located in the same gene?  What on earth are you talking
about?  Are there specific genes?  Interaction upon expression doesn't really
have to do with whether they're on the same chromosome or not... which kind of
interaction are you talking about?

Certainly, that's the theory.  Complementary gene action in Mendel's peas is
an early example.  I don't know whether this is the case in the genes you
mention, but doubtless someone else can answer that question.

>First, does these two gene locate at same gene or same chromosome?

I don't know whether those two are linked, but cooperative expression does
not necessarily require that they be linked (on the same chromosome).  We're
talking a function of the chemical embryology, not physical location of the
codons.  It would be truly fascinating if two similarly acting genes reused
the same section of DNA, sort of like a computer subroutine, but I am not
aware of any cases where this has been suggested.  Of course, proteins are
certainly coded for that have multiple functions... but that wasn't your
question.

Cool.  My degree's in Cell-Molec, yes, but I'm sure there are other people on
the Net who have better specific answers to your questions.  I don't even know
which steroid the receptor you're talking about is for.  Testosterone?

Dear Colleagues,

I have some problems to ask for answers.

As we know, the expression of genes is regulated by the binding of 
some transcription factors, such as GCN4, helix-turn-helix, leucine
zipper and others such as steroid receptor, to some important,
conserved sequences at the DNA. DNA is pakaged in chromosomes, chromosomes are
pakaged in the form of solenoids. It seems that I have learned of studies about the interactions among different genes, at same chromosome, or different
chromosome. I only learn that genes whosed
 coding products are related in the metabolism pathways, may located in same
gene or same chromosome. I wish to know how kind of interaction exists 
in these genes. Because, I want to know the interaction between somes genes
of interest.

Thank you for your comments in advance.

Sincerely,

Qiu Yaowu of Chinese University of Hong Kong.

the University of Connecticut, Department of Molecular and
Cell Biology.  The project is funded by the Donaghue
Foundation and involves the study of the cytoskeleton and
cell motility in the eukaryotic amoeba Dictyostelium
discoideum.  A newly developed system for inducible gene
regulation is being utilized to control the expression of
cytoskeletal proteins (Mol Cell Biol. 12:4038 1992).  This
system utilizes an inducible suppressor tRNA to regulate the
translation of cytoskeletal genes that have been engineered
to contain a premature stop codon.
The project will be carried out at the University of
Connecticut in beautiful Eastern Connecticut.  This unique
environment provides a major research university in a rural
setting within several hours of both Boston and New York.
Interested individuals should contact Dr. David Knecht by

through all of the rigamarol of getting through customs.  Root cuttings
or botanical seed would be fine.  Any Canadian botanical gardens with this

I am researching on monopolistic industries and is particularly interested to

ice cream, is harvested and processed in only a few locations. There are but
two (any one knows of more?) companies in the business.  

I am interested in (1) The evolution (or lack there of) of the technology

(2) the process waste stream
(3) alternative processing technology or synthetic substitutes. 

Any discussion or information (e-mail or new posting) is appreciated.
