Oncogenes and Cancer
In some tumors, for example, the Fos transcription protein dimerizes with the Jun transcription factor to form the AP1 transcription factor, and this complex increases the expression of several genes that control cell division.21,22 Chromosomal translocations often activate transcription-factor genes in lymphoid cancers23 and sometimes do so in solid tumors (e.g., prostate cancer24; see Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix). In certain sarcomas, chromosomal translocations that result in fused proteins occur consistently; in Ewing's sarcoma, for example, the EWS gene is fused with one of a number of partner genes, resulting in aberrant transcriptional activity of the fused proteins (see Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix). The EWS protein is an RNA-binding molecule with a domain that, when fused to a heterologous DNA-binding domain, can greatly stimulate gene transcription.
Vandal spreads tacks to scupper cyclists on Beach Rd
AN anti-cyclist vandal who scattered road tacks in the path of bike riders could have killed someone, police say. Officers today blasted the offender, saying only luck saved a rider from injury or death. A large number of tacks, similar to drawing pins, were deliberately placed along Beach Rd in Mentone on Saturday and caused punctures to several cyclists' tyres. Sen-Sgt Hans Harms, of the Kingston Traffic Management Unit, condemned the act of stupidity and accused the offender of derailing bids to ease tensions between drivers and cyclists. Sen-Sgt Harms said a cyclist could have lost control and swerved into vehicles or other riders. "This stupid act does not assist anyone.

When Maria Sharapova, last year's Australian Open runner-up, entered the court in the ongoing championship, she disappointed a few onlookers even before she took out her racquet. The aggrieved lot were the fashionistas, who were seeking out the haute couture of Paris in the Down Under land.
The purists from the top-notch fashion houses were expecting the Russian diva to put on display her Australian Open collection — Nike Sharapova Australian Open Flora dress.
The over-enthusiast had already spotted, a few days ago, Daniela Hantuchova slipping into a similar costume and sweating it out at Medibank International in Sydney. Expectations were high that at the Australian Open, Sharapova will wear something exclusive. But when she finally emerged in the same outfit — albeit in a different colour — their hopes were dashed.
