Description
Abstract Text
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract): MUC 1 is a transmembrane
cell surface mucin best known for its upregulation in breast cancer. The PI
observes that its expression correlates with goblet cell differentiation in
hamster tracheal epithelial cells in vitro. His preliminary promoter analysis
of the hamster Muc 1 gene cloned in his lab reveals the presence of a silencer
(P-NRE) not previously described. He proposes conventional methods to (1)
deduce the nucleotides comprising the silencer, (2) identify the protein
binding to the silencer, (3) clone this protein and (4) perform studies to
determine if and how the protein-DNA interaction mediates Muc 1 upregulation
during goblet cell differentiation in vitro.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
