Molecular mechanism of APC/C activation by mitotic phosphorylation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-05-12)
In eukaryotes, the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C, also known as the cyclosome) regulates the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of specific cell-cycle proteins to coordinate chromosome segregation in mitosis and entry ...
Cryo-EM structures of the XPF-ERCC1 endonuclease reveal how DNA-junction engagement disrupts an auto-inhibited conformation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-28)
The structure-specific endonuclease XPF-ERCC1 participates in multiple DNA damage repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair (NER) and inter-strand crosslink repair (ICLR). How XPF-ERCC1 is catalytically activated ...
Structure-Enabled Discovery of a Stapled Peptide Inhibitor to Target the Oncogenic Transcriptional Repressor TLE1.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2017-07-18)
TLE1 is an oncogenic transcriptional co-repressor that exerts its repressive effects through binding of transcription factors. Inhibition of this protein-protein interaction represents a putative cancer target, but no ...
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, ...
Tankyrase Requires SAM Domain-Dependent Polymerization to Support Wnt-β-Catenin Signaling.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-08-04)
The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) Tankyrase (TNKS and TNKS2) is paramount to Wnt-β-catenin signaling and a promising therapeutic target in Wnt-dependent cancers. The pool of active β-catenin is normally limited by ...
A fragment-based approach applied to a highly flexible target: Insights and challenges towards the inhibition of HSP70 isoforms.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-10-06)
The heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are molecular chaperones implicated in many cancers and of significant interest as targets for novel cancer therapies. Several HSP70 inhibitors have been reported, but because the majority ...
