APCs definition

Nasmyth It is definitely compromised in yeast. But thankfully they are not completely dead, which allowed Doug Koshland and us to do the critical experiment which really pinpointed securin as the key target. In this we took an APC mutant, knocked out securin, and showed that then they would separate sister chromatids. 

Without regard to therapy, potentially valuable diagnostic tests are available for presymptomatic evaluation of risk of breast cancer due to predisposition from BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 and of colon cancer related to familial adenomatous polyposis (APC gene) or hereditary nonpolyposis mismatch repair genes (MSH 2). Genetic predisposition to Alzheimer disease associated with ApoE4 is neither sufficient nor necessary to lead to the clinical condition, and no definitive therapy is available. 

Definitely not from Wargaard, Razum murmured. Tut let s go and welcome their offer of a ride. He trudged towards the APC, Angel wading uncertainly through the snow after him.

Garvan and others in the APC spent the remainder of 1918 sorting out the Bayer affairs with the definite aim to seize and sell the firm to Americans. 

As Garvan planned the Chemical Foundation in January and February of 1919, the APC had not yet seized any of the chemical patents beyond the ones sold with the Bayer Company. The rest remained in trust. The Office of Alien Property, with the help of the largest chemical manufacturers, raced to implement their plan before a peace treaty technically ended the state of war and limited the powers of the APC, which they expected could occur within weeks. Under the auspices of the American Dyes Institute, Du Pont and National Aniline supplied money and patent lawyers to develop a list of patents that they wished the APC to seize and convey to the Chemical Foundation. The APC s staff worked around the clock to process the seizure but essentially rubber-stamped the selection made by the American Dyes Institute lawyers, who possessed a broad working definition of the chemical industry — the patents included those for stainless steel, for example. The first and most important sale to the Chemical Foundation sent about 4,500 patents to the foundation in exchange for 250,000. By 1921, when the Senate officially ended the state of war with Germany, the total sale amounted to 271,850.
