Initial article assessments from Jocelyn Munson

Capping enzyme

This article is currently a stub. It definitely needs more information, but shouldn't be too technical or too detailed. In my opinion, the article as its currently written is difficult for many readers to understand. It should contain sections, subsections, tables, and external links. Diagrams would also be useful, including a depiction of the protein itself and its general mechanism. Most importantly, more references[1] [2] [3] are needed.

DNA adduct

This article is larger than a stub, but definitely needs more information. I agree with what was written on the talk page; the definition of "DNA adduct" is confusing. The "DNA Damage" section needs to be rewritten or deleted. This article should include, among other things, information on its use in research, discovery, mechanism, and overall significance. The writing should be clear, concise, and not too detailed. More references[1][4][5][6] are needed.

Initial Article Assessments- Cindy Atwell

Acetyltransferase

This article is clearly a stub as it currently is composed of only one sentence with links to the various types of acetyltransferases. There is an illustration of an acetyl group. However, it isn't very useful as it is just a picture of the acetyl group without the enzyme. In other words, the picture doesn't illustrate the function of the enzyme nor does it illustrate the structure of the enzyme. There is currently one reference. In my opinion, the article could use additional content on the structure, function, and implications for disease. This content would ideally be arranged using headings and sub-headings. To substantiate this content, additional references will be needed [CA 1][CA 2] [CA 3] [CA 4]

Protein Inhibitor of Activated STAT

This article is also clearly a stub as it contains one single sentence describing a protein inhibitor of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. There are links to examples, but there are no illustrations. There is a reference to the US National Library of Medicine, and the table describes the JAK-STAT pathway. However, there is a lot of content to develop and many citations will be needed in order to provide the necessary secondary sources. A summary of the protein inhibitor of STAT, the function, structure, and therapeutic indications will need to be summarized in a concise and organized manner[CA 5] [CA 6] [CA 7] [1] [2] .

Article selection rationale

We have chosen to contribute to the protein inhibitor of activated STAT article. While the JAK-STAT pathway has been shown to be important in many diseases, and protein inhibitors of activated STAT (PIAS) family has been shown to interact with over 60 different proteins, [1] this Wiki article is classified as a stub and there has been no discussion regarding the article on the talk page.

Our goal is to provide readers with a general overview of PIAS in a straightforward manner. There is clearly a lot of work to do as this article currently contains only one single sentence describing the PIAS family. There are links to specific examples, but there are no illustrations. As there is a lot of content to develop and many citations will be needed, this is a great article for our group to work on during this class. We will review secondary sources in order to develop a summary of the PIAS family, the function, structure, and importance in disease. For example, there is evidence suggesting the PIAS mechanism is the key to potential cancer treatments. [1] PIAS is also involved in regulating the immune system. [2]

We don’t want to confuse our readers with too many details. At the same time, we want them to understand the significance of PIAS and its relation to the JAK-STAT pathway. With the large amount of information available from the scientific community, we are confident that we can successfully contribute to the PIAS article on Wikipedia.
