We bring an evolutionary perspective to the study of developmental genetics. In particular, we investigate the role played by developmental genes in the early, geologically rapid, Cambrian evolution of animal morphology. Comparison of developmental gene expression between morphologically distinct kinds of organisms is the primary tool employed in the laboratory. To this end we retrieved the engrailed gene via PCR from all the major classes of molluscs. We are now in the process of comparing the expression pattern of this gene through in situ hybridization studies in clams, snails and chitons. The successful applicant will continue studies of this nature, recovering developmentally important genes that can speak to issues of homology or morphologic evolution in disparate animal tax.

Our laboratory working on a recently established signaling pathway involving direct activation of cytoplasmic transcription factors by tyrosine kinases. A direct signaling model of signal transduction has been proposed (Fu, 1992). In this model, the transcription factors (termed STAT) are directly activated by a membrane receptor-associated tyrosine kinase(s) through their SH2 (Src homology region 2) domains. These activated transcription factors then translocate to the nucleus to join a nuclear protein to form an active transcriptional complex, inducing expression of specific functional proteins. Most recently, studies from our lab and other laboratories have also demonstrated that Interferons, EGF, PDGF, CSF-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10 etc., all use this direct pathway to control nuclear transcriptional events (reviewed in Darnell et al., 1994). A fundamental question in cancer research is whether and how these signaling pathways are involved abnormal cell growth and transformation of normal cells. Our current research is aiming to expand our understanding of the signal transduction of cytokines, especially the functions of STAT to the field of cancer immunology which includes STAT function in cancer development and in the general cellular immune responses.

If you have not yet listed yourself in our BIOSCI user directory, please take a few minutes to complete and return the form below. If your personal information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us a complete new updated form. We can not make manual revisions to existing entries. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription **** If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS (NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!! This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup, but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please send a message to biosci@net.bio.net Instructions on how to subscribe/unsubscribe will be returned automatically, so the contents of your message do not matter. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a message to MXT@dl.ac.uk containing the word help in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions. Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message. If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be contacted at either of the following addresses. Please contact the address designated for your location. Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use Mosaic or another World Wide Web browser and connect to the BIOSCI WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. Select the hypertext link to the BIOSCI archives. This gives you read access to all newsgroup messages and the ability to search the indexes described below. You can also use gopher software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI computer. We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in the BIOSCI FAQ (see below). Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and fix problems that you might encounter in using the newsgroups. The FAQ and other BIOSCI documentation is available through our WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. It is also available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending the command info faq in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net. Please do not enter the info faq command on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores text on the Subject: line. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, gopher, and WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net). If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net to search the database. If you have access to WAIS, please use our WAIS source biologists-addresses.src. If you are not on the Internet, please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the body of the mail message.). Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form below and return it to either of the following two addresses (whichever is more convenient for you).

Both of these projects involve analysis of mice and cells derived from these mice that carry targeted mutations for either the receptors for TNF or adipocyte fatty acid binding protein.
