Oncogenic HMGA2: short or small?
The High Mobility Group A (HMGA) family of proteins are architectural transcription factors that bind to DNA and introduce structural alterations in chromatin. The HMGA family consists of two members, HMGA1 and HMGA2, which are encoded by separate genes. As one of the major nonhistone chromosomal proteins, HMGA proteins are multifunctional and are involved in many fundamental cellular processes...
متن کاملPolymorphism and resolution of oncogene promoter quadruplex-forming sequences.
We report the separation of several quadruplex species formed by ten promoter sequences by Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). Modification at the 5' or 3' ends or in loop regions of quadruplex forming sequences has become the standard technique for dealing with quadruplex polymorphism. However, conformations produced employing this method or by other means of artificially shifting the equilib...
متن کاملRhoB: Team Oncogene or Team Tumor Suppressor?
Although Rho GTPases RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC share more than 85% amino acid sequence identity, they play very distinct roles in tumor progression. RhoA and RhoC have been suggested in many studies to contribute positively to tumor development, but the role of RhoB in cancer remains elusive. RhoB contains a unique C-terminal region that undergoes specific post-translational modifications affecting ...

tized. The hybridization signal of the radiolabeled probe appears as white grains. All specimens were observed under dark field illumination after nuclear counterstain with hematoxylin. Immunostaining for factor Vill-related antigen (4) confirmed that injury was limited to endothelium. 23. Binding was carred out in buffer containing 50 mM NaCI, 5 mM MgCI2, 5% glycerol, 2.5 mM Hepes (pH 7.9), 1 ...
متن کاملAMPK: a contextual oncogene or tumor suppressor?
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) functions to monitor and maintain energy homeostasis at the cellular and organism level. AMPK was perceived historically primarily as a component of the LKB1/STK11 tumor suppressor (LKB1 mutations cause the Peutz-Jegher cancer predisposition syndrome) cascade upstream of the TSC1/2/mTOR pathway and thus likely to be a tumor suppressor. However, AMPK has r...
