In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Transient tether between the SRP RNA and SRP receptor ensures efficient cargo delivery during cotranslational protein targeting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Kinetic control of macromolecular interactions plays key roles in biological regulation. An example of such control occurs in cotranslational protein targeting by the signal recognition particle (SRP), during which the SRP RNA and the cargo both ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

IQ-domain GTPase-activating protein 1 promotes the malignant phenotype of invasive ductal breast carcinoma via canonical Wnt pathway

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
IQ-domain GTPase-activating protein 1 is a scaffolding protein with multidomain which plays a role in modulating dishevelled (Dvl) nuclear translocation in canonical Wnt pathway.

Activation of G Proteins by Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors Relies on GTPase Activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
G proteins are an important family of signalling molecules controlled by guanine nucleotide exchange and GTPase activity in what is commonly called an 'activation/inactivation cycle'.

Case Report: A Novel Missense Variant in the SIPA1L3 Gene Associated With Cataracts in a Chinese Family

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The signal-induced proliferation-associated 1-like 3 (SIPA1L3) gene that encodes a putative Rap GTPase-activating protein (RapGAP) has been associated with congenital cataract and eye development abnormalities.

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Proteome-wide analysis reveals G protein-coupled receptor-like proteins in rice (Oryza sativa)

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane proteins in metazoans that mediate the regulation of various physiological responses to discrete ligands through heterotrimeric G protein subunits.

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

Rho family GTPases: Key players in neuronal development, neuronal survival, and neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The Rho family of GTPases belongs to the Ras superfamily of low molecular weight (~21 kDa) guanine nucleotide binding proteins. The most extensively studied members are RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42.
