Disrupting Lipid Raft Microdomains to Block Polyploid Giant Cancer Cell Budding and Enhance Radiotherapy Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiation induces polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) that regenerate tumors through virus‐like budding. This process depends on a SNCG–FLOT2–CHMP4B signaling axis functioning in lipid raft microdomains. Disrupting these domains using statins or anti‐PCSK9 antibodies blocks PGCC budding, suppresses tumor repopulation, and enhances radiotherapy ...

Conservation of the COP9/signalosome in budding yeast

BMC Genetics, 2002
Background The COP9/signalosome (CSN), a multiprotein complex consisting of eight subunits, is implicated in a wide variety of regulatory processes including cell cycle control, signal transduction, transcriptional activation, and plant ...

Functional conservation of coenzyme Q biosynthetic genes among yeasts, plants, and humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is an essential factor for aerobic growth and oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport system. The biosynthetic pathway for CoQ has been proposed mainly from biochemical and genetic analyses of Escherichia coli and ...

External and internal triggers of cell death in yeast [PDF]

, 2016
In recent years, yeast was confirmed as a useful eukaryotic model system to decipher the complex mechanisms and networks occurring in higher eukaryotes, particularly in mammalian cells, in physiological as well in pathological conditions.

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

FYPO: the fission yeast phenotype ontology [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2013
Abstract Motivation: To provide consistent computable descriptions of phenotype data, PomBase is developing a formal ontology of phenotypes observed in fission yeast. Results: The fission yeast phenotype ontology (FYPO) is a modular ontology that uses several existing ontologies from the open biological and biomedical ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of human diseases: the benefits of fission yeasts

Microbial Cell
The role of model organisms such as yeasts in life science research is crucial. Although the baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is the most popular model among yeasts, the contribution of the fission yeasts (Schizosaccharomyces) to life science is ...

Exploring Genetic Interactions with Telomere Protection Gene pot1 in Fission Yeast

Biomolecules, 2023
The regulation of telomere length has a significant impact on cancer risk and aging in humans. Circular chromosomes are found in humans and are often unstable during mitosis, resulting in genome instability.

Natural and Induced Mitochondrial Phosphate Carrier Loss: DIFFERENTIAL DEPENDENCE OF MITOCHONDRIAL METABOLISM AND DYNAMICS AND CELL SURVIVAL ON THE EXTENT OF DEPLETION. [PDF]

, 2016
The relevance of mitochondrial phosphate carrier (PiC), encoded by SLC25A3, in bioenergetics is well accepted. However, little is known about the mechanisms mediating the cellular impairments induced by pathological SLC25A3 variants.

Comparative Analysis of Septin Modifiers, Forchlorfenuron and UR214‐9, on Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Lytic Cell Death

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Septins are conserved GTP‐binding proteins that play key roles in cell division, mitochondrial dynamics and immune responses. Despite their importance to human health, pharmacological compounds to modify septins remain limited. Forchlorfenuron (FCF) was the first small molecule identified to modify septins, disrupting their organisation and ...
