The role of spread through air spaces (STAS) in lung adenocarcinoma prognosis and therapeutic decision making.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-08-01)
Spread through air spaces (STAS) was included as a novel pattern of invasion in lung adenocarcinoma by the World Health Organization in 2015. Since then, multiple studies have investigated the association of STAS with ...
Evidence for a novel overlapping coding sequence in POLG initiated at a CUG start codon.
(BMC, 2020-03-06)
BACKGROUND: POLG, located on nuclear chromosome 15, encodes the DNA polymerase γ(Pol γ). Pol γ is responsible for the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Pol γ is the only DNA polymerase found in mitochondria ...
Cyclin A triggers Mitosis either via the Greatwall kinase pathway or Cyclin B.
(WILEY, 2020-06-02)
Two mitotic cyclin types, cyclin A and B, exist in higher eukaryotes, but their specialised functions in mitosis are incompletely understood. Using degron tags for rapid inducible protein removal, we analyse how acute ...
Development of a cell-free split-luciferase biochemical assay as a tool for screening for inhibitors of challenging protein-protein interaction targets.
(F1000 Research Ltd, 2020-01-01)
Targeting the interaction of proteins with weak binding affinities or low solubility represents a particular challenge for drug screening. The NanoLuc â ® Binary Technology (NanoBiT â ®) was originally developed to detect ...
The role of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex in the response to DNA double strand breaks.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)
Mammalian cells possess multiple closely related SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes. These complexes have been implicated in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Evidence suggests that SWI/SNF ...
Histone isoforms and the oncohistone code.
(CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD, 2020-12-04)
Recent studies have highlighted the potential for missense mutations in histones to act as oncogenic drivers, leading to the term 'oncohistones'. While histone proteins are highly conserved, they are encoded by multigene ...
CRISPR activation screen in mice identifies novel membrane proteins enhancing pulmonary metastatic colonisation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-23)
Melanoma represents ~5% of all cutaneous malignancies, yet accounts for the majority of skin cancer deaths due to its propensity to metastasise. To develop new therapies, novel target molecules must to be identified and ...
APOBEC and Cancer Viroimmunotherapy: Thinking the Unthinkable.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-06-15)
The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide (APOBEC) family protects against infection by degrading incoming viral genomes through cytosine deamination. Here, we review how the potential to unleash these ...
A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component.
(F1000 Research Ltd, 2021-01-13)
Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ...
Clinical management and outcomes of primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma - Experience from a sarcoma specialist unit.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-03-01)
Ovarian sarcomas account for 1% of all ovarian malignancies and amongst these, primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma is the rarest subtype. Primary ovarian leiomyosarcoma has a very poor prognosis, with less than 20% of patients ...
