Damped Lyman-alpha Absorption Associated with an Early-Type Galaxy at Redshift z = 0.16377 (1997)
Lanzetta, Kenneth M., Wolfe, Arthur M., Altan, Hakan, Barcons, Xavier, Chen, Hsiao-Wen, Fernandez-Soto, Alberto, ...
We report new HST and ground-based observations of a damped Lyman-alpha absorption system toward the QSO 0850+4400. The redshift of the absorption system is z = 0.163770 and the neutral hydrogen...

We recently identified polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) as a potential binding partner for the TCL1 oncoprotein. Mammalian PNPase exhibits exoribonuclease and poly(A) polymerase activities, and...
Rainey, Robert N., Glavin, Jenny D., Chen, Hsiao-Wen, French, Samuel W., Teitell, Michael A., Koehler, Carla M.
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is an exoribonuclease and poly(A) polymerase postulated to function in the cytosol and mitochondrial matrix. Prior overexpression studies resulted in PNPase...
