Homodimerization

HER1 directly binds EGF which leads to formation of a homodimer of the HER1 extracellular domain

RACE is sometimes called one-sided PCR or anchored PCR.

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology

RACE can be used to amplify unknown 5' (5'-RACE) or 3' (3'-RACE) parts of RNA molecules where part of the RNA sequence is known and targeted by a GSP gene-specific primer.

Our on-going research indicates that RLMRACE, PPM-RACE, and qRT-PCR are very effective in the verification of sequences of miRNA targets obtained by Degradome sequencing.

The protocol for RLM-RACE, PPMRACE, and qRT-PCR is rapid, effective, cheap, and can be completed within 2–3 day.

To more accurately validate the predicted target genes of miRNAs and exactly determine the cleavage sites within the targets, an integrated strategy comprising RLM-RACE, Poly(A) Polymerase-Mediated (PPM)-RACE, and qRT-PCR was developed.

In plants, the perfect complementarity between most miRNAs and their targets enables the accurate predictions of their targets, while slicing of the targeted mRNAs facilitates target validation through RNA Ligase-Mediated (RLM)-Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE) method.
