Resistance to kinase inhibition through shortened target engagement
Imatinib, a selective inhibitor of the breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-ABL kinase, is the poster child for targeted cancer therapeutics. However, its efficacy is limited by resistance mutations.

Statistics of Solar Wind Electron Breakpoint Energies Using Machine Learning Techniques [PDF]
Solar wind electron velocity distributions at 1 au consist of a thermal "core" population and two suprathermal populations: "halo" and "strahl". The core and halo are quasi-isotropic, whereas the strahl typically travels radially outwards along the ...

Cancer chromosome breakpoints cluster in gene‐rich genomic regions [PDF]
AbstractCancer cells are characterized by chromosome abnormalities, of which some, in particular balanced rearrangements, are associated with distinct tumor entities and/or with specific gene rearrangements that represent important steps in the carcinogenic process.

Duplex DNA from Sites of Helicase-Polymerase Uncoupling Links Non-B DNA Structure Formation to Replicative Stress [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Replication impediments can produce helicase-polymerase uncoupling allowing lagging strand synthesis to continue for as much as 6 kb from the site of the impediment.

Breakpoint Cluster Region–Mediated Inflammation Is Dependent on Casein Kinase II [PDF]
Abstract The breakpoint cluster region (BCR) is known as a kinase and cause of leukemia upon fusing to Abl kinase. In this study, we demonstrate that BCR associated with the α subunit of casein kinase II (CK2α), rather than BCR itself, is required for inflammation development.

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET [PDF]
Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...

Myeloproliferative neoplasms and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway: an overview
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are caused by a clonal proliferation of a hematopoietic progenitor. First described in 1951 as 'Myeloproliferative Diseases' and reevaluated by the World Health Organization classification system in 2011, myeloproliferative ...

Genome reorganization in different cancer types: detection of cancer specific breakpoint regions [PDF]
Background: Tumorigenesis is a multi-step process which is accompanied by substantial changes in genome organization. The development of these changes is not only a random process, but rather comprise specific DNA regions that are prone to the ...
