DUSP16 is an epigenetically regulated determinant of JNK signalling in Burkitt’s lymphoma
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2010-07-13)
BACKGROUND: The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases or dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a family of proteins that catalyse the inactivation of MAPK in eukaryotic cells. Little is known of the ...
Splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma: revision of a series of cases reveals characteristic clinico-pathological features
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2010-07)
Background Splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma is an uncommon B-cell lymphoma, now recognized as a provisional entity in the 2008 update of the WHO Classification. Additional work is required to review this ...
Epigenetic downregulation of human disabled homolog 2 switches TGF-beta from a tumor suppressor to a tumor promoter
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2010-08)
The cytokine TGF-beta acts as a tumor suppressor in normal epithelial cells and during the early stages of tumorigenesis. During malignant progression, cancer cells can switch their response to TGF-beta and use this cytokine ...
A case-control study of risk of leukaemia in relation to mobile phone use.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2010-11-23)
BACKGROUND: Mobile phone use is now ubiquitous, and scientific reviews have recommended research into its relation to leukaemia risk, but no large studies have been conducted. METHODS: In a case-control study in South East ...
Three-dimensional structure of recombinant type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2010-05-27)
IP3Rs (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors) are the intracellular channels that mediate release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in response to the many stimuli that evoke Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. We characterized ...
Optimal Threshold for a Positive Hybrid Capture 2 Test for Detection of Human Papillomavirus: Data from the ARTISTIC Trial
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2010-02)
We present data on the use of the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) test for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) with different thresholds for positivity within a primary screening setting and as a method of ...
A Pocket on the Surface of the N-Terminal BRCT Domain of Mcph1 Is Required to Prevent Abnormal Chromosome Condensation
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-02-05)
Mcph1 is mutated in autosomal recessive primary microcephaly and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) syndrome. Increased chromosome condensation is a common feature of cells isolated from patients afflicted with either ...
ELM: the status of the 2010 eukaryotic linear motif resource.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2010-01-01)
Linear motifs are short segments of multidomain proteins that provide regulatory functions independently of protein tertiary structure. Much of intracellular signalling passes through protein modifications at linear motifs. ...
Crystal structure of an Aurora-A mutant that mimics Aurora-B bound to MLN8054: insights into selectivity and drug design
(2010-01-01)
The production of selective protein kinase inhibitors is often frustrated by the similarity of the enzyme active sites. For this reason, it is challenging to design inhibitors that discriminate between the three Aurora ...
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 ...
