    • A Switch in p53 Dynamics Marks Cells That Escape from DSB-Induced Cell Cycle Arrest. 

      Tsabar, Michael; Mock, Caroline S; Venkatachalam, Veena; Reyes, Jose; Karhohs, Kyle W; Oliver, Trudy G; Regev, Aviv; ... (9 authors) (Cell reports, 2020-08)
      Cellular responses to stimuli can evolve over time, resulting in distinct early and late phases in response to a single signal. DNA damage induces a complex response that is largely orchestrated by the transcription factor ...
    • BRD4 Prevents R-Loop Formation and Transcription-Replication Conflicts by Ensuring Efficient Transcription Elongation. 

      Edwards, Drake S; Maganti, Rohin; Tanksley, Jarred P; Luo, Jie; Park, James JH; Balkanska-Sinclair, Elena; Ling, Jinjie; ... (8 authors) (Cell reports, 2020-09)
      Effective spatio-temporal control of transcription and replication during S-phase is paramount to maintaining genomic integrity and cell survival. Dysregulation of these systems can lead to conflicts between the transcription ...
    • Phosphorylation at tyrosine 262 promotes GADD34 protein turnover. 

      Zhou, Wei; Jeyaraman, Krishna; Yusoff, Permeen; Shenolikar, Shirish (The Journal of biological chemistry, 2013-11)
      In mammalian cells, metabolic and environmental stress increases the phosphorylation of the eukaryotic translational initiation factor, eIF2α, and attenuates global protein synthesis. Subsequent transcriptional activation ...
    • Site-specific phosphorylation and caspase cleavage of GFAP are new markers of Alexander disease severity. 

      Battaglia, Rachel A; Beltran, Adriana S; Delic, Samed; Dumitru, Raluca; Robinson, Jasmine A; Kabiraj, Parijat; Herring, Laura E; ... (16 authors) (eLife, 2019-11-04)
      Alexander disease (AxD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), which supports the structural integrity of astrocytes. Over 70 GFAP missense mutations cause AxD, ...
    • The inoculum effect and band-pass bacterial response to periodic antibiotic treatment. 

      Tan, Cheemeng; Smith, Robert Phillip; Srimani, Jaydeep K; Riccione, Katherine A; Prasada, Sameer; Kuehn, Meta; You, Lingchong (Mol Syst Biol, 2012)
      The inoculum effect (IE) refers to the decreasing efficacy of an antibiotic with increasing bacterial density. It represents a unique strategy of antibiotic tolerance and it can complicate design of effective antibiotic ...
    • Translating antibody-binding peptides into peptoid ligands with improved affinity and stability. 

      Bordelon, Tee; Bobay, Benjamin; Murphy, Andrew; Reese, Hannah; Shanahan, Calvin; Odeh, Fuad; Broussard, Amanda; ... (9 authors) (Journal of chromatography. A, 2019-09)
      A great number of protein-binding peptides are known and utilized as drugs, diagnostic reagents, and affinity ligands. Recently, however, peptide mimetics have been proposed as valuable alternative to peptides by virtue ...
    • Unc93b Induces Apoptotic Cell Death and Is Cleaved by Host and Enteroviral Proteases. 

      Harris, Katharine G; Coyne, Carolyn B (PloS one, 2015-01)
      Unc93b is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident transmembrane protein that serves to bind and traffic toll-like receptors (TLRs) from the ER to their appropriate subcellular locations for ligand sensing. Because of its ...
