Recurrent inactivation of STAG2 in bladder cancer is not associated with aneuploidy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-12-01)
Urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) is heterogeneous at the clinical, pathological and genetic levels. Tumor invasiveness (T) and grade (G) are the main factors associated with outcome and determine patient management. A ...
Targeting radioresistance and replication fork stability in prostate cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2022-05-09)
The bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of chromatin reader proteins bind to acetylated histones and regulate gene expression. The development of BET inhibitors (BETi) has expanded our knowledge of BET protein ...
Structures of APC/C(Cdh1) with substrates identify Cdh1 and Apc10 as the D-box co-receptor.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2011-02-10)
The ubiquitylation of cell-cycle regulatory proteins by the large multimeric anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) controls sister chromatid segregation and the exit from mitosis. Selection of APC/C targets is achieved through ...
Prereplicative complexes assembled in vitro support origin-dependent and independent DNA replication.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014-03-18)
Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from multiple replication origins. To ensure each origin fires just once per cell cycle, initiation is divided into two biochemically discrete steps: the Mcm2-7 helicase is first loaded ...
Origin licensing requires ATP binding and hydrolysis by the MCM replicative helicase.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-04)
Loading of the six related Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) proteins as head-to-head double hexamers during DNA replication origin licensing is crucial for ensuring once-per-cell-cycle DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. ...
A Cross-Cancer Genetic Association Analysis of the DNA Repair and DNA Damage Signaling Pathways for Lung, Ovary, Prostate, Breast, and Colorectal Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-01-01)
BACKGROUND: DNA damage is an established mediator of carcinogenesis, although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified few significant loci. This cross-cancer site, pooled analysis was performed to increase ...
A Dynamical Framework for the All-or-None G1/S Transition.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-01-27)
The transition from G1 into DNA replication (S phase) is an emergent behavior resulting from dynamic and complex interactions between cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), Cdk inhibitors (CKIs), and the anaphase-promoting ...
Breast cancer risk variants at 6q25 display different phenotype associations and regulate ESR1, RMND1 and CCDC170.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-04-01)
We analyzed 3,872 common genetic variants across the ESR1 locus (encoding estrogen receptor α) in 118,816 subjects from three international consortia. We found evidence for at least five independent causal variants, each ...
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
MCPH1 inhibits Condensin II during interphase by regulating its SMC2-Kleisin interface.
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2021-12-01)
Dramatic change in chromosomal DNA morphology between interphase and mitosis is a defining features of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Two types of enzymes, namely cohesin and condensin confer the topology of chromosomal DNA ...
