Interferon-driven alterations of the host's amino acid metabolism in the pathogenesis of typhoid fever.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2016-05-30)
Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, is an important public health problem in resource-limited settings and, despite decades of research, human responses to the infection are poorly understood. In ...
Characterization of Two Distinct Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) Complex Assemblies in Embryonic Stem Cells.
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2016-03-01)
Pluripotency and self-renewal, the defining properties of embryonic stem cells, are brought about by transcriptional programs involving an intricate network of transcription factors and chromatin remodeling complexes. The ...
Improving GENCODE reference gene annotation using a high-stringency proteogenomics workflow.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-06-02)
Complete annotation of the human genome is indispensable for medical research. The GENCODE consortium strives to provide this, augmenting computational and experimental evidence with manual annotation. The rapidly developing ...
Flexible Data Analysis Pipeline for High-Confidence Proteogenomics.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-12-02)
Proteogenomics leverages information derived from proteomic data to improve genome annotations. Of particular interest are "novel" peptides that provide direct evidence of protein expression for genomic regions not previously ...
Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)
We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, ...
Parity-related molecular signatures and breast cancer subtypes by estrogen receptor status.
(BMC, 2014-07-08)
INTRODUCTION: Relationships of parity with breast cancer risk are complex. Parity is associated with decreased risk of postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast tumors, but may increase risk for basal-like breast ...
RET recognition of GDNF-GFRα1 ligand by a composite binding site promotes membrane-proximal self-association.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-25)
The RET receptor tyrosine kinase is essential to vertebrate development and implicated in multiple human diseases. RET binds a cell surface bipartite ligand comprising a GDNF family ligand and a GFRα coreceptor, resulting ...
Capture Hi-C identifies the chromatin interactome of colorectal cancer risk loci.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2015-02-19)
Multiple regulatory elements distant from their targets on the linear genome can influence the expression of a single gene through chromatin looping. Chromosome conformation capture implemented in Hi-C allows for genome-wide ...
Loss of INPP4B causes a DNA repair defect through loss of BRCA1, ATM and ATR and can be targeted with PARP inhibitor treatment.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2015-04-30)
Treatment options for ovarian cancer patients remain limited and overall survival is less than 50% despite recent clinical advances. The lipid phosphatase inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) has been ...
Diffusion-weighted MRI for imaging cell death after cytotoxic or apoptosis-inducing therapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-04-28)
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive serial imaging is desirable to detect processes such as necrotic and apoptotic cell death in cancer patients undergoing treatment. This study investigated the use of diffusion-weighted (DW-) magnetic ...
