A PK2/Bv8/PROK2 antagonist suppresses tumorigenic processes by inhibiting angiogenesis in glioma and blocking myeloid cell infiltration in pancreatic cancer.
(2011)In many cancer types, infiltration of bone marrow-derived myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment is often associated with enhanced angiogenesis and tumor progression, resulting in poor prognosis. The polypeptide chemokine ... -
BMP signaling in the development of the mouse esophagus and forestomach.
(Development, 2010-12)The stratification and differentiation of the epidermis are known to involve the precise control of multiple signaling pathways. By contrast, little is known about the development of the mouse esophagus and forestomach, ... -
Bonds between fibronectin and fibronectin-binding proteins on Staphylococcus aureus and Lactococcus lactis.
(Langmuir, 2010-07-06)Bacterial cell-wall-associated fibronectin binding proteins A and B (FnBPA and FnBPB) form bonds with host fibronectin. This binding reaction is often the initial step in prosthetic device infections. Atomic force microscopy ... -
BPIFB3 regulates autophagy and coxsackievirus B replication through a noncanonical pathway independent of the core initiation machinery.
(mBio, 2014-12-09)<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Enteroviruses require autophagy to facilitate the formation of autophagosome (AP)-like double-membrane vesicles that provide the scaffolding for RNA replication. Here, we identify bactericidal/permeabi... -
Control of cyclin B1 localization through regulated binding of the nuclear export factor CRM1.
(Genes Dev, 1998-07-15)Activation of the Cyclin B/Cdc2 kinase complex triggers entry into mitosis in all eukaryotic cells. Cyclin B1 localization changes dramatically during the cell cycle, precipitously transiting from the cytoplasm to the nucleus ... -
Cyclosporine A inhibits Ca2+-dependent stimulation of the Na+/H+ antiport in human T cells.
(J Cell Biol, 1986-08)The cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporine A (CsA) is a potent immunosuppressive agent that inhibits the initial activation of T lymphocytes. This agent appears to be most effective in blocking the action of mitogens such as ... -
Dysferlin, annexin A1, and mitsugumin 53 are upregulated in muscular dystrophy and localize to longitudinal tubules of the T-system with stretch.
(Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology, 2011-04)Mutations in dysferlin cause an inherited muscular dystrophy because of defective membrane repair. Three interacting partners of dysferlin are also implicated in membrane resealing: caveolin-3 (in limb girdle muscular dystrophy ... -
Extracellular Matrix Remodeling Regulates Glucose Metabolism through TXNIP Destabilization.
(Cell, 2018-09-06)The metabolic state of a cell is influenced by cell-extrinsic factors, including nutrient availability and growth factor signaling. Here, we present extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling as another fundamental node ... -
Generation of high curvature membranes mediated by direct endophilin bilayer interactions.
(J Cell Biol, 2001-10-15)Endophilin 1 is a presynaptically enriched protein which binds the GTPase dynamin and the polyphosphoinositide phosphatase synptojanin. Perturbation of endophilin function in cell-free systems and in a living synapse has ... -
Genetic variants in the TEP1 gene are associated with prostate cancer risk and recurrence.
(Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis, 2015-12)BACKGROUND: Telomere-related genes play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). It is not fully understood whether genetic variations in telomere-related genes are associated with development ... -
Identification of the endophilins (SH3p4/p8/p13) as novel binding partners for the beta1-adrenergic receptor.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999-10-26)Several G-protein coupled receptors, such as the beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1-AR), contain polyproline motifs within their intracellular domains. Such motifs in other proteins are known to mediate protein-protein interactions ... -
Lactic acidosis triggers starvation response with paradoxical induction of TXNIP through MondoA.
(PLoS Genet, 2010-09-02)Although lactic acidosis is a prominent feature of solid tumors, we still have limited understanding of the mechanisms by which lactic acidosis influences metabolic phenotypes of cancer cells. We compared global transcriptional ... -
Localization of DIR1 at the tissue, cellular and subcellular levels during Systemic Acquired Resistance in Arabidopsis using DIR1:GUS and DIR1:EGFP reporters.
(BMC plant biology, 2011-01)BACKGROUND: Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) is an induced resistance response to pathogens, characterized by the translocation of a long-distance signal from induced leaves to distant tissues to prime them for increased ... -
Pleiotrophin regulates the ductular reaction by controlling the migration of cells in liver progenitor niches.
(Gut, 2016-04)OBJECTIVE: The ductular reaction (DR) involves mobilisation of reactive-appearing duct-like cells (RDC) along canals of Hering, and myofibroblastic (MF) differentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in the space of Disse. ... -
Selective loss of RPGRIP1-dependent ciliary targeting of NPHP4, RPGR and SDCCAG8 underlies the degeneration of photoreceptor neurons.
(Cell Death Dis, 2012-07-19)The retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) and nephrocystin-4 (NPHP4) comprise two key partners of the assembly complex of the RPGR-interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1). Mutations in RPGR and NPHP4 are linked to severe ... -
The potential repertoire of the innate immune system in the bladder: expression of pattern recognition receptors in the rat bladder and a rat urothelial cell line (MYP3 cells).
(International urology and nephrology, 2015-12)The urothelium is a frontline sensor of the lower urinary tract, sampling the bladder lumen and stimulating an immune response to infectious and noxious agents. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize such agents ... -
The Trim39 ubiquitin ligase inhibits APC/CCdh1-mediated degradation of the Bax activator MOAP-1.
(J Cell Biol, 2012-04-30)Proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members, such as Bax, promote release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, leading to caspase activation and cell death. It was previously reported that modulator of apoptosis protein 1 (MOAP-1), ... -
Tocopherol-associated protein suppresses prostate cancer cell growth by inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway.
(Cancer research, 2005-11)Epidemiologic studies suggested that vitamin E has a protective effect against prostate cancer. We showed here that tocopherol-associated protein (TAP), a vitamin E-binding protein, promoted vitamin E uptake and facilitated ... -
