Funded Activity Summary

Molecular mechanism of regulation of human renin mRNA. Genetic technologies and genomics research are an international priority likely to reap rich rewards intellectually and commercially. The shrinking of the once-touted gene number to a more modest level has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the complexity in the protein products arising from each gene, and even more so the methods used by cells to control gene expression. By elucidating the latter for a key gene we will open up new avenues for control of gene expression in various organisms. Devising novel means of chemically modulating stability of specific mRNA molecules will have beneficial implications for health, livestock production and agriculture.
