Tumor suppressors BTG1 and BTG2: Beyond growth control
Members of the B‐cell translocation gene (BTG) protein family are important regulators of cellular differentiation and maintenance of homeostasis under conditions of cellular stress. This review describes these and other cellular functions, and highlights their emerging roles as potential tumor suppressors.

We describe the use of AMP detection to measure the biochemical activity of deadenylase enzymes and show its utility by determining the inhibitory activity of 1‐hydroxy‐xanthines versus the Caf1 subunit, or subcomplexes of Ccr4‐Not containing the Caf1 and Ccr4 subunits.

A New Network‐Based Strategy for Predicting the Potential miRNA‐mRNA Interactions in Tumorigenesis
MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in the degradation and inhibition of mRNAs and is a kind of essential drug targets for cancer therapy. To facilitate the clinical cancer research, we proposed a network‐based strategy to identify the cancer‐related miRNAs and to predict their targeted genes based on the gene expression profiles. The strategy was

Identification of disease genes is a hot topic in biomedicine and genomics. However, it is a challenging problem because of the complexity of diseases. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic disease caused by a dysregulated immune response to host intestinal microflora.

The Ccr4‐Not complex is a key regulator of eukaryotic gene expression
The Ccr4‐Not complex is a multisubunit complex present in all eukaryotes that contributes to regulate gene expression at all steps, from production of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the nucleus to their degradation in the cytoplasm. In the nucleus it influences the post‐translational modifications of the chromatin template that has to be remodeled for ...

Cytotoxicity and Pharmacogenomics of Medicinal Plants from Traditional Korean Medicine
Aim. The present study was designed to investigate the cytotoxicity of a panel of 280 Korean medicinal plants belonging to 73 families and 198 species against human CCRF‐CEM leukemia cells. Selected phytochemicals were investigated in more detail for their mode of action. Methods.

During the progression of CRC, MDM2, as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, promotes the degradation of the LLGL2 protein. Reduced expression of the LLGL2 protein leads to the loss of support for the CNOT1 protein, decreasing the degradation of THBS3 mRNA. The increased THBS3 further activates the PI3K‐Akt pathway, promoting the proliferation and metastasis of CRC.

Mutation of Brain Aromatase Impairs Behavior and Neuroplasticity in Adult Zebrafish
This study investigates the functional role of brain aromatase, encoded by the cyp19a1b gene, in zebrafish neurodevelopment and adult behavior. Using TALENs technology, we introduced a 10‐nucleotide deletion in exon 2, generating a zebrafish line that expresses a truncated aromatase protein.

The anti-proliferative activity of BTG/TOB proteins is mediated via the Caf1a (CNOT7)/Caf1b (CNOT8) deadenylase enzymes [PDF]
The human BTG/TOB protein family comprises six members (BTG1, BTG2/PC3/Tis21, BTG3/Ana, BTG4/PC3B, TOB1/Tob, and TOB2) that display anti-proliferative activity in a number of cell types. They are characterised by a conserved N-terminal BTG domain that mediates interactions with the Caf1a (CNOT7) and Caf1b (CNOT8) deadenylases.
