Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Her main research concerns RNA polymerase II, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Biochemistry and Transcription. Her study in RNA polymerase II is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both MED1, Transcription factor II D, General transcription factor and Transcription factor. Her Transcription factor II D research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transcription factor II A and RNA polymerase II holoenzyme.

Her Molecular biology research includes elements of Von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor, Ubiquitin, Gene, Histone acetyltransferase and Cullin Proteins. Her research investigates the connection between Cell biology and topics such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae that intersect with issues in Transcriptional regulation, Chromatin, Nucleosome, Chromatin remodeling and Chromatin structure remodeling complex. In the field of Transcription, her study on Elongin complex overlaps with subjects such as Operations research.

Her most cited work include:

  • Structure of the Cul1-Rbx1-Skp1-F boxSkp2 SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. (1212 citations)
  • Rbx1, a component of the VHL tumor suppressor complex and SCF ubiquitin ligase. (670 citations)
  • Rbx1, a component of the VHL tumor suppressor complex and SCF ubiquitin ligase. (670 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Joan Weliky Conaway mainly focuses on RNA polymerase II, Cell biology, Molecular biology, Transcription factor II D and Transcription. Her RNA polymerase II research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Protein subunit, Mediator, General transcription factor and Transcription factor. Her Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ubiquitin, Ubiquitin ligase, Chromatin remodeling and Nucleosome.

Her research in Molecular biology tackles topics such as Histone acetyltransferase which are related to areas like HeLa. Her Transcription factor II D study incorporates themes from Transcription factor II B, Transcription factor II F, RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and TAF2. Her research in Transcription intersects with topics in RNA and DNA repair.

She most often published in these fields:

  • RNA polymerase II (102.11%)
  • Cell biology (87.31%)
  • Molecular biology (76.74%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (87.31%)
  • RNA polymerase II (102.11%)
  • Transcription (44.11%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, RNA polymerase II, Transcription, Mediator and Chromatin. Her Cell biology research integrates issues from Ubiquitin, Transcriptional regulation, Enhancer and Histone, Nucleosome. Her Transcriptional regulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transcription factor II D, Binding site and RNA polymerase II holoenzyme.

Her RNA polymerase II research incorporates themes from Transcription elongation, Protein subunit, Ubiquitin ligase and Polymerase. Her Transcription study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA, Transcription factor, DNA damage and Phosphorylation. Her work in Mediator addresses subjects such as MED26, which are connected to disciplines such as Small nuclear RNA.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Multiomic Analysis of the UV-Induced DNA Damage Response. (100 citations)
  • Multiomic Analysis of the UV-Induced DNA Damage Response. (100 citations)
  • Mediator structure and rearrangements required for holoenzyme formation (90 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Joan Weliky Conaway mostly deals with Transcription, RNA polymerase II, Cell biology, Chromatin and DNA damage. The various areas that she examines in her Transcription study include Structure–activity relationship, RNA, Protein domain, Protein subunit and Mediator. Her Protein subunit study is concerned with Biochemistry in general.

Her RNA polymerase II study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Schizosaccharomyces, General transcription factor and Phosphorylation. Her studies examine the connections between Cell biology and genetics, as well as such issues in DNA repair, with regards to Non-histone protein, Molecular biology, Chromatin binding, Histone H2A and Histone H3. Her studies in DNA damage integrate themes in fields like Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin ligase.
