A role for p53 in telomere protection
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and are crucial for genome stability. The p53 protein (TP53) is a vital tumor suppressor, activating the transcription of numerous genes in response to cell stress.

Open Biology, 2021 Treslin/Ticrr is required for the initiation of DNA replication and binds to MTBP (Mdm2 Binding Protein). Here, we show that in Xenopus egg extract, MTBP forms an elongated tetramer with Treslin containing two molecules of each protein.

Gene autoregulation via intronic microRNAs and its functions [PDF]
, 2012 Background: MicroRNAs, post-transcriptional repressors of gene expression, play a pivotal role in gene regulatory networks. They are involved in core cellular processes and their dysregulation is associated to a broad range of human diseases.

The human lncRNA LINC-PINT inhibits tumor cell invasion through a highly conserved sequence element
Genome Biology, 2017 Background It is now obvious that the majority of cellular transcripts do not code for proteins, and a significant subset of them are long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Origins of Binary Gene Expression in Post-transcriptional Regulation by MicroRNAs
, 2012 MicroRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression is characterised by some distinctive features that set it apart from unregulated and transcription factor-regulated gene expression. Recently, a mathematical model has been proposed to describe the dynamics
