Study on genes with altered expression in α-amanitin poisoned mice and evaluation on antagonistic effects of traditional Chinese medicines against toxicity of α-amanitin [PDF]

open access: yes
The forward and reverse cDNA subtractive libraries before and after the toxic effect of α-amanitin were constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization and randomly selected clones from each subtractive library were screened by PCR and dot blot ...

Structural basis of transcription: α-Amanitin–RNA polymerase II cocrystal at 2.8 Å resolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The structure of RNA polymerase II in a complex with the inhibitor α-amanitin has been determined by x-ray crystallography. The structure of the complex indicates the likely basis of inhibition and gives unexpected insight into the transcription ...

Unraveling the Carcinogenic Mechanisms of Food Contaminants: An Integrated in Silico Framework Combining Network Toxicology, Machine Learning, and Molecular Docking

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Food contamination poses a significant global health threat with carcinogenic potential, though the molecular pathways connecting contaminants to cancer remain poorly understood. This study sought to identify key molecular targets mediating the carcinogenic effects of nine prevalent dietary contaminants: glyphosate, perfluorooctane sulfonate ...

Distribution of fluorescent α-amanitin (FAMA) during mitosis in cultured rat kangaroo (PtK1) cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The mushroom toxin α-amanitin is known to possess a high affinity to eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (or B) [1–3]. To pursue the question where these enzymes are located during mitosis of cells, a fluorescent derivative of α-amanitin (FAMA) was prepared ...

BRAF inhibition sensitizes melanoma cells to α-amanitin via decreased RNA polymerase II assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Despite the great success of small molecule inhibitors in the treatment of patients with BRAF mutated melanoma, the response to these drugs remains transient and patients eventually relapse within a few months, highlighting the need to develop novel ...

An explicit-solvent conformation search method using open software [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Computer modeling is a popular tool to identify the most-probable conformers of a molecule. Although the solvent can have a large effect on the stability of a conformation, many popular conformational search methods are only capable of describing ...

Nucleolar Organization in Response to Transcriptional Stress

open access: yesCancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 10, Page 2649-2656, October 2025.
In this review, we provide an overview of the research field on nucleolar regulation, mainly focusing on nucleolar organization under transcriptional stress. We also highlight the importance of ribosomal DNA stability, particularly in disease prevention, including cancer.

Abundance of Maternal Mitochondrial Genome Is Dispensable up to the Mitochondrial Genome Activation in Post‐Implantation Embryos

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
A mouse model of Tfam conditional knock‐out (TfamloxP/loxP; Zp3‐Cre) produces mtDNA‐depleted eggs. An abundance of mitochondrial mass is maintained through fission during oocyte growth and enables egg fertilization and blastocyst formation. Although embryonic genome activation may compensate for the maternal knock‐out in the two‐cell stage, the ...

Heterozygous deletion of chromosome 17p renders prostate cancer vulnerable to inhibition of RNA polymerase II

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Heterozygous loss of chromosome 17p is a common genomic event in castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC). Here, the authors use CRISPR-based screen to identify RBX1 as a target gene for CRPC with 17p loss and targeting RBX1 sensitizes CRPC to the ...
