Cell cycle and apoptosis: A review
Cancer is characterized by abnormally excessive cell proliferation. Cell proliferation, the process by which a cell grows and divides to produce two daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells divides to produce two new cells, steps that are called cell cycle. Meanwhile, apoptosis is a highly regulated process of cell death, which is involved not only in the development of shape and morphogene...
متن کاملA novel benzodioxole-containing inhibitor of Toxoplasma gondii growth alters the parasite cell cycle.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can cause disease in the developing fetus and in immunocompromised humans. Infections can last for the life of the individual, and to date there are no drugs that eliminate the chronic cyst stages that are characteristic of this parasite. In an effort to identify new chemical scaffolds that could form the basis for new therapeutics, w...
متن کاملCells degrade a novel inhibitor of differentiation with E1A-like properties upon exiting the cell cycle.
Control of proliferation and differentiation by the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRB) and related family members depends upon their interactions with key cellular substrates. Efforts to identify such cellular targets led to the isolation of a novel protein, EID-1 (for E1A-like inhibitor of differentiation 1). Here, we show that EID-1 is a potent inhibitor of differentiation and link...
متن کاملContext-Dependent Cell Cycle Checkpoint Abrogation by a Novel Kinase Inhibitor
BACKGROUND Checkpoint kinase 1 and 2 (Chk1/Chk2), and the Aurora kinases play a critical role in the activation of the DNA damage response and mitotic spindle checkpoints. We have identified a novel inhibitor of these kinases and utilized this molecule to probe the functional interplay between these two checkpoints. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Fragment screening, structure guided design, and kinase cr...
متن کاملAn artificial cell-cycle inhibitor isolated from a combinatorial library.
Understanding the genetic networks that operate inside cells will require the dissection of interactions among network members. Here we describe a peptide aptamer isolated from a combinatorial library that distinguishes among such interactions. This aptamer binds to cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) and inhibits its kinase activity. In contrast to naturally occurring inhibitors, such as p21(Cip1...
