Survivin-T34A: molecular mechanism and therapeutic potential
The inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin's threonine 34 to alanine (T34A) mutation abolishes a phosphorylation site for p34(cdc2)-cyclin B1, resulting in initiation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in cancer cells; however, it has little known direct effects on normal cells. The possibility that targeting survivin in this way may provide a novel approach for selective cancer gene thera...
متن کاملNuclear and cytoplasmic survivin: molecular mechanism, prognostic, and therapeutic potential.
Survivin's proposed dual role as an apoptosis inhibitor and a mitotic effector positioned it in the front line of cancer research. Notably, survivin is detected as a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein in cancer patients, which stimulated numerous studies to investigate and to speculate on the functional and prognostic significance of its dynamic localization. Recent evidence shows that the direct ...
متن کاملPotential Therapeutic Effects of Neurotrophins for Acute and Chronic Neurological Diseases
The neurotrophins (NTs) nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), NT-3, and NT-4/5 are proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival in both the developing and mature central nervous system (CNS) by binding to two receptor classes, Trk receptors and p75 NTR. Motivated by the broad growth- and survival-promoting effects of these proteins, num...
