Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) functions in various biological processes, including transcriptional and translational control, DNA repair, drug resistance, and cell proliferation. To elucidate the physiological role of the YB-1 protein, we disrupted one allele of mouse YB-1 in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Northern blot analysis revealed that YB-1(+/-) ES cells with one intact allele contain...
