DisProt: intrinsic protein disorder annotation in 2020.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-08)The Database of Protein Disorder (DisProt, URL: https://disprot.org) provides manually curated annotations of intrinsically disordered proteins from the literature. Here we report recent developments with DisProt (version ... -
Disruption of the Interaction of RAS with PI 3-Kinase Induces Regression of EGFR-Mutant-Driven Lung Cancer.
(2018-12)RAS family GTPases contribute directly to the regulation of type I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) via RAS-binding domains in the PI3K catalytic p110 subunits. Disruption of this domain of p110α impairs RAS-mutant-onc ... -
Dissecting mechanisms of resistance to targeted drug combination therapy in human colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-06-20)Genomic alterations in cancer cells result in vulnerabilities that clinicians can exploit using molecularly targeted drugs, guided by knowledge of the tumour genotype. However, the selective activity of these drugs exerts ... -
Dissecting PARP inhibitor resistance with functional genomics.
(CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD, 2019-02-01)The poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib was the first licenced cancer drug that targeted an inherited form of cancer, namely ovarian cancers caused by germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. ... -
Dissecting the predictive value of MAPK/AKT/estrogen-receptor phosphorylation axis in primary breast cancer to treatment response for tamoxifen over exemestane: a Translational Report of the Intergroup Exemestane Study (IES)-PathIES.
(SPRINGER, 2019-05-01)PURPOSE: The prognostic and predictive values of the MAPK/AKT/ERα phosphorylation axis (pT202/T204MAPK, pT308AKT, pS473AKT, pS118ERα and pS167ERα) in primary tumours were assessed to determine whether these markers can ... -
Distinct Levels of Reactive Oxygen Species Coordinate Metabolic Activity with Beta-cell Mass Plasticity.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-06-26)The pancreatic beta-cells control glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin in response to nutrient intake. The number of beta-cells is under tight metabolic control, as this number increases with higher nutrient intake. ... -
Distinct roles of BRCA2 in replication fork protection in response to hydroxyurea and DNA interstrand cross-links.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2020-06-01)DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are a form of DNA damage that requires the interplay of a number of repair proteins including those of the Fanconi anemia (FA) and the homologous recombination (HR) pathways. Pathogenic ... -
Distinctive Behaviors of Druggable Proteins in Cellular Networks.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-12-23)The interaction environment of a protein in a cellular network is important in defining the role that the protein plays in the system as a whole, and thus its potential suitability as a drug target. Despite the importance ... -
Distortion correction of echo-planar diffusion-weighted images of uterine cervix.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-05-01)PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical utility of the reverse gradient algorithm in correcting distortions in diffusion-weighted images of the cervix and for increasing diagnostic performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-one ... -
Divergent adaptation in thyroid cancers.

Diverse AR Gene Rearrangements Mediate Resistance to Androgen Receptor Inhibitors in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-04-15)PURPOSE: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer deaths. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a lethal stage of the disease that emerges when endocrine therapies are no longer effective at ... -
Diverse BRCA1 and BRCA2 Reversion Mutations in Circulating Cell-Free DNA of Therapy-Resistant Breast or Ovarian Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-11-01)Purpose: Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy or PARP inhibition in germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers may occur through somatic reversion mutations or intragenic deletions that restore BRCA1 or BRCA2 function. ... -
DNA Copy Number Aberrations, and Human Papillomavirus Status in Penile Carcinoma. Clinico-Pathological Correlations and Potential Driver Genes
(2016-01-01)Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare disease, in which somatic genetic aberrations have yet to be characterized. We hypothesized that gene copy aberrations might correlate with human papillomavirus status and ... -
DNA Damage Activates a Spatially Distinct Late Cytoplasmic Cell-Cycle Checkpoint Network Controlled by MK2-Mediated RNA Stabilization
(CELL PRESS, 2010-10-08)Following genotoxic stress, cells activate a complex kinase-based signaling network to arrest the cell cycle and initiate DNA repair. p53-defective tumor cells rewire their checkpoint response and become dependent on the ... -
DNA damage during S-phase mediates the proliferation-quiescence decision in the subsequent G1 via p21 expression.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-20)Following DNA damage caused by exogenous sources, such as ionizing radiation, the tumour suppressor p53 mediates cell cycle arrest via expression of the CDK inhibitor, p21. However, the role of p21 in maintaining genomic ... -
DNA Damage, Repair, and Cancer Metabolism.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-02-05)Although there has been a renewed interest in the field of cancer metabolism in the last decade, the link between metabolism and DNA damage/DNA repair in cancer has yet to be appreciably explored. In this review, we examine ... -
