Oncogenic All1 fusion proteins target Drosha-mediated microRNA processing.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding small RNA of approximately 22 bases, which suppress expression of target genes through translational block or degradation of a target's transcript. Recent studies uncovered specific miRNA expression profiles in human malignancies. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying cancer-specific miRNA expression are largely unknown. miRNA biogenesis consists of a series o...
متن کاملMarine Optics: Dark Disguise
Survival in the deep sea depends on seeing others without being seen yourself. A recent study examined two switchable camouflage strategies in cephalopods: transparency and dark pigmentation.
متن کاملIntrinsic Structural Disorder Confers Cellular Viability on Oncogenic Fusion Proteins
Chromosomal translocations, which often generate chimeric proteins by fusing segments of two distinct genes, represent the single major genetic aberration leading to cancer. We suggest that the unifying theme of these events is a high level of intrinsic structural disorder, enabling fusion proteins to evade cellular surveillance mechanisms that eliminate misfolded proteins. Predictions in 406 t...
متن کاملForetinib is a potent inhibitor of oncogenic ROS1 fusion proteins.
The rapidly growing recognition of the role of oncogenic ROS1 fusion proteins in the malignant transformation of multiple cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and glioblastoma, is driving efforts to develop effective ROS1 inhibitors for use as molecularly targeted therapy. Using a multidisciplinary approach involving small molecule screening in combination with in vitro a...
متن کاملOncogenic pathway utilizes mitochondrial fusion machinery to support growth
Mitochondria are cellular organelles with dynamic structure and function that respond to and synchronize with cellular signaling pathways. Reduced mitochondrial function results in cell cycle arrest, and mutations in several genes encoding proteins with mitochondrial function have been described in specific types of cancer. Understanding the role of cellular signaling pathways in controlling mi...
