The FGFR inhibitor PD173074 binds to the C-terminus of oncofetal HMGA2 and modulates its DNA-binding and transcriptional activation functions by Ahmed, Syed Moiz, Ragunathan, Priya, Shin, Joon, Peter, Sabrina, Kleissle, Sabrina, Neuenschwander, Martin, Schäfer, Reinhold, Kries, Jens Peter V., Grüber, Gerhard, Dröge, Peter

“…The HMGA2-antagonistic effect of PD173074 on transcriptional activation may therefore result from an induced altered DNA-binding mode of HMGA2. PD173074 as a novel HMGA2-specific antagonist could trigger the development of derivates with enhanced attributes and clinical potential.…”

On the evolution of the Kham agreement paradigm by DeLancey, Scott

“…Recent studies of the agreement systems of the "prono-minalizing" Tibeto-Burman languages (Bauman 1974, 1975, 1979, DeLancey 1980, 1981a, 1983, Caughley 1982, Thurgood 1985) have established that the suffixed "pronominal" verb agreement paradigm, once considered to be a late secondary development in a few western branches of the family, is in fact widespread throughout the TB languages, and traceable to the Proto-Tibeto-Burman level.2 There is no reasonable doubt that most of the agreement paradigms found in the family represent com¬mon inheritance -- often, to be sure, with considerable reana¬lysis and secondary alteration -- of an original paradigm in which the ST pronominal roots *na '1st person' and *na(n) '2nd person' were suffixed to the verb in a split ergative pattern. …”
