Arabidopsis ULTRAVIOLET-B-INSENSITIVE4 maintains cell division activity by temporal inhibition of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome [PDF]
The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multisubunit ubiquitin ligase that regulates progression through the cell cycle by marking key cell division proteins for destruction.

Deterministic and stochastic descriptions of gene expression dynamics [PDF]
A key goal of systems biology is the predictive mathematical description of gene regulatory circuits. Different approaches are used such as deterministic and stochastic models, models that describe cell growth and division explicitly or implicitly etc.

Cell cycle and protein complex dynamics in discovering signaling pathways [PDF]
Signaling pathways are responsible for the regulation of cell processes, such as monitoring the external environment, transmitting information across membranes, and making cell fate decisions. Given the increasing amount of biological data available and the recent discoveries showing that many diseases are related to the disruption of cellular signal ...

Mitotic waves in an import-diffusion model with multiple nuclei in a shared cytoplasm [PDF]
Nuclei import and export proteins, including cell cycle regulators. These import-export processes are modulated periodically by the cell cycle, for example due to the periodic assembly and breakdown of the nuclear envelope. As such, replicated DNA can be segregated between the two daughter cells and the proteins that were localized in the nucleus are ...

Stage-Specific Inhibition of MHC Class I Presentation by the Epstein-Barr Virus BNLF2a Protein during Virus Lytic Cycle [PDF]
gamma-herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persists for life in infected individuals despite the presence of a strong immune response. During the lytic cycle of EBV many viral proteins are expressed, potentially allowing virally infected cells to be ...

p25/Cdk5-mediated retinoblastoma phosphorylation is an early event in neuronal cell death [PDF]
In large models of neuronal cell death, there is a tight correlation between Cdk5 deregulation and cell-cycle dysfunction. However, pathways that link Cdk5 to the cell cycle during neuronal death are still unclear.

Dynamical Analysis of Yeast Cell Cycle Using a Stochastic Markov Model
Introduction: The cell cycle network is responsible of control, growth and proliferation of cells. The relationship between the cell cycle network and cancer emergence, and the complex reciprocal interactions between genes/proteins calls for ...

Endothelin-1 Activates MAPKs and Modulates Cell Cycle Proteins in OKP Cells
The signaling mechanisms through which endothelin (ET)-1 induces hyperplasia of the renal tubular epithelium are largely unknown. Methods: These mechanisms were explored using ETB-overexpressing opossum kidney (OKP) cells as a model system. Results: ET-1

Exact solution of stochastic gene expression models with bursting, cell cycle and replication dynamics [PDF]
The bulk of stochastic gene expression models in the literature do not have an explicit description of the age of a cell within a generation and hence they cannot capture events such as cell division and DNA replication. Instead, many models incorporate cell cycle implicitly by assuming that dilution due to cell division can be described by an ...

Targeting ATM pathway for therapeutic intervention in cancer [PDF]
The Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated gene encodes the ATM protein, a key element in the DNA damage response (DDR) signalling pathway responsible for maintaining genomic integrity within the cell.
