Utilizing Functional Genomics Screening to Identify Potentially Novel Drug Targets in Cancer Cell Spheroid Cultures.
(JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS, 2016-12-26)
The identification of functional driver events in cancer is central to furthering our understanding of cancer biology and indispensable for the discovery of the next generation of novel drug targets. It is becoming apparent ...
Synthesis of a Ribose-Incorporating Medium Ring Scaffold via a Challenging Ring-Closing Metathesis Reaction.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016-09-01)
A practical synthesis of a novel oxabicyclo[6.2.1]undecenetriol useful as a medicinal chemistry scaffold has been developed starting from l-ribose. The sequence involves an oxidation/Grignard addition sequence and a ...
SF3B1 mutations constitute a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2015-03-01)
Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in RNA splicing have been found to occur at relatively high frequencies in several tumour types including myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, uveal melanoma, ...
Discovery of a Chemical Probe Bisamide (CCT251236): An Orally Bioavailable Efficacious Pirin Ligand from a Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1 (HSF1) Phenotypic Screen.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2017-01-12)
Phenotypic screens, which focus on measuring and quantifying discrete cellular changes rather than affinity for individual recombinant proteins, have recently attracted renewed interest as an efficient strategy for drug ...
AXIN Shapes Tankyrase ARChitecture.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-04)
The poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) Tankyrase uses ankyrin repeat modules to capture substrates via Tankyrase-binding peptide motifs. In this issue of Structure, Eisemann et al. (2016) describe how the signaling protein ...
Myosin and Actin Filaments in Muscle: Structures and Interactions.
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2017-01-01)
In the last decade, improvements in electron microscopy and image processing have permitted significantly higher resolutions to be achieved (sometimes <1 nm) when studying isolated actin and myosin filaments. In the case ...
Structure-based drug design: aiming for a perfect fit.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2017-11-08)
Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of therapeutically relevant targets has informed drug discovery since the first protein structures were determined using X-ray crystallography in the 1950s and 1960s. In this ...
Structural rearrangements of the RNA polymerase III machinery during tRNA transcription initiation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-04-01)
RNA polymerase III catalyses the synthesis of tRNAs in eukaryotic organisms. Through combined biochemical and structural characterisation, multiple auxiliary factors have been identified alongside RNA Polymerase III as ...
Mechanism for remodelling of the cell cycle checkpoint protein MAD2 by the ATPase TRIP13.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-12)
The maintenance of genome stability during mitosis is coordinated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) through its effector the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), an inhibitor of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C, ...
Mechanism of selective recruitment of RNA polymerases II and III to snRNA gene promoters.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-05-01)
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) small nuclear RNA (snRNA) promoters and type 3 Pol III promoters have highly similar structures; both contain an interchangeable enhancer and "proximal sequence element" (PSE), which recruits the ...
