Substrate Binding and Energy Transduction in a Multidrug Resistance ABC Transporter DrrAB [PDF]
, 2018 Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious problem for treatment of cancers and infectious diseases. A leading cause of MDR is energy-dependent drug efflux by membrane transport proteins.

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.

Characterization of a new ATP-binding cassette transporter in Trypanosoma cruzi associated to a L1Tc retrotransposon [PDF]
, 2013 We have characterized the tcpgp1-like gene of Trypanosoma cruzi, a new ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. tcpgp1 codes for a 1035 amino acid protein with a considerable homology to LtpgpA of Leishmania.

Pharmacokinetic profiling of imatinib in relation to CYP3A4 activity in leukaemia patients
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aim Imatinib pharmacokinetics exhibit large interindividual variability because of differences in CYP3A4 activity—the main imatinib‐metabolizing enzyme. While therapeutic drug monitoring is effective, it requires steady‐state conditions and frequent sampling.

Mechanistic diversity in ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters [PDF]
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2016 ABC transporters catalyze transport reactions, such as the high-affinity uptake of micronutrients into bacteria and the export of cytotoxic compounds from mammalian cells. Crystal structures of ABC domains and full transporters have provided a framework for formulating reaction mechanisms of ATP-driven substrate transport, but recent studies have ...

ABCB5 and the regulation of p16INK4a by non-coding RNA [PDF]
, 2014 p16INK4a (p16) traps the cell at the restriction point of the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 thus preventing the phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRB).

What Makes an “Ideal” Cell Line for Recombinant Adeno‐Associated Virus Production?
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.Several host cell types have been used to produce rAAVs to date. Cell line‐specific traits that are beneficial in the context of rAAV manufacturing are reviewed here, with the goal of developing a consensus on the ‘ideal’ characteristics that an rAAV production host should possess (created with Biorender.com).

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Functional significance of the ATP‐binding cassette transporter B6 in hepatocellular carcinoma
Molecular Oncology, 2011 ABCB6 is a mitochondrial transporter that regulates porphyrin biosynthesis. ABCB6 expression is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but the significance of this upregulation to HCC is not known.
