Autopsy pathology and disease patterns in Shiraz, Iran, 1960-1974.

The impact of 4300 serial autopsies performed in Shiraz, Iran, on scientific and clinical medicine is discussed. These studies in geographic pathology led to the recognition of the importance in disease patterns of persistent, life-long changes in the human immune response brought about by serious perinatal infection and/or malnutrition. Elucidation of the pathogenesis of primary upper small intestinal lymphoma serves as an example of the importance of the field of geographic pathology for the understanding of disease processes. The immune response in infantile infection with Pneumocystis carinii with interstitial plasma-cell pneumonia helped to elucidate the basic conditions and mechanisms underlying all forms of pneumocystosis. The first effective prophylaxis of pneumocystosis was thus developed. The response of the gut to different forms of nutritional deficiency and its relationship to gastroenterological cancer was also investigated.

Complexities in ETS-domain transcription factor function and regulation: lessons from the TCF (ternary complex factor) subfamily. The Colworth Medal Lecture.

The ETS-domain transcription factor family can be divided into a series of subfamilies. Elk-1 represents the founding member of the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily. By focusing on the TCF subfamily, we can demonstrate the complexities that exist in the function and regulation of ETS-domain transcription factors. This article focuses on Elk-1 in detail and summarizes the functions of other TCFs. The key themes covered include the domain structure of the TCFs, the mechanisms of complex formation with serum response factor, regulation of TCFs by mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades, and transcriptional regulatory properties of the TCFs. Finally, the emerging role of the TCFs in vivo is discussed. A picture is developing indicating that, while these proteins exhibit significant sequence and functional conservation, key differences in their structure and regulation are being identified which may relate to unique functions of these proteins in vivo.
