Allergen Delivery Inhibitors: A Rationale for Targeting Sentinel Innate Immune Signaling of Group 1 House Dust Mite Allergens through Structure-Based Protease Inhibitor Design.
(AMER SOC PHARMACOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS, 2018-09-01)
Diverse evidence from epidemiologic surveys and investigations into the molecular basis of allergenicity have revealed that a small cadre of "initiator" allergens promote the development of allergic diseases, such as asthma, ...
Allergen Delivery Inhibitors: Characterisation of Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Der p 1 and Their Attenuation of Airway Responses to House Dust Mite Allergens.
(MDPI, 2018-10-15)
Group 1 allergens of house dust mites (HDM) are globally significant triggers of allergic disease. They are considered as initiator allergens because their protease activity enables the development of allergy to a spectrum ...
MEKK3 coordinates with FBW7 to regulate WDR62 stability and neurogenesis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-12-01)
Mutations of WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) lead to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), and down-regulation of WDR62 expression causes the loss of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how WDR62 is regulated ...
Tissue curvature and apicobasal mechanical tension imbalance instruct cancer morphogenesis.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-02-07)
Tubular epithelia are a basic building block of organs and a common site of cancer occurrence1-4. During tumorigenesis, transformed cells overproliferate and epithelial architecture is disrupted. However, the biophysical ...
The deubiquitinase USP9X regulates FBW7 stability and suppresses colorectal cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)
The tumor suppressor FBW7 targets oncoproteins such as c-MYC for ubiquitylation and is mutated in several human cancers. We noted that in a substantial percentage of colon cancers, FBW7 protein is undetectable despite the ...
Ribosome. The complete structure of the 55S mammalian mitochondrial ribosome.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-04-17)
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) synthesize mitochondrially encoded membrane proteins that are critical for mitochondrial function. Here we present the complete atomic structure of the porcine 55S mitoribosome ...
C/EBPα mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells.
(WILEY, 2019-09-16)
Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide ...
CD73 Blockade Promotes Dendritic Cell Infiltration of Irradiated Tumors and Tumor Rejection.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-04-01)
The ability of focal radiotherapy to promote priming of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells and increase responses to immunotherapy is dependent on infiltration of the tumor by Batf3-dependent conventional dendritic cell type 1 ...
Conditional control of fluorescent protein degradation by an auxin-dependent nanobody.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-17)
The conditional and reversible depletion of proteins by auxin-mediated degradation is a powerful tool to investigate protein functions in cells and whole organisms. However, its wider applications require fusing the ...
The Lineage Determining Factor GRHL2 Collaborates with FOXA1 to Establish a Targetable Pathway in Endocrine Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-22)
Notwithstanding the positive clinical impact of endocrine therapies in estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer, de novo and acquired resistance limits the therapeutic lifespan of existing drugs. Taking the ...
