Research Finds Protein That Regulates DNA

February 22, 2008 - 1:00am

Conducting basic research can often have unexpectedly important implications for human health.

That’s just what happened to a research team at Cornell that discovered how a protein named PARP-1 binds to genes and regulates their expression. Their work could have important impacts in diagnosing a number of diseases.

The researchers found that the location of the protein has a significant impact on human genes.

Prof. W. Lee Kraus, molecular biology, Matthew J. Gamble Ph.D. and Raga Krishnakumar grad co-authored an article about the research, which appeared in the Feb. 8 issue of the journal Science. The National Institutes of Health funded the research.
