Targeting Cell Cycle Vulnerabilities in Cancers: Emerging Strategies for Therapeutic Development
Cancer Science, EarlyView.Dysregulated cell cycle control often involves alternative compensatory pathways in cancers to maintain its robustness but provide unique targetable vulnerabilities. We overview recent insights on cancer‐specific vulnerabilities across the cell cycle and discuss how these can be used to develop new therapeutic strategies.

Crystal structure of Zen4 in the apo state reveals a missing conformation of kinesin
Nature Communications, 2017 Kinesins are molecular motors that travel along microtubules through a nucleotide-dependent stepping mechanism. Here the authors present the crystal structure of Zen4 (kinesin-6) in an apo state that sheds light on a key stepping intermediate of kinesin.

Kinesin and dynein use distinct mechanisms to bypass obstacles
eLife, 2019 Kinesin-1 and cytoplasmic dynein are microtubule (MT) motors that transport intracellular cargoes. It remains unclear how these motors move along MTs densely coated with obstacles of various sizes in the cytoplasm.

Pleiotropic Roles of FBXO11 in Tumorigenesis: Implications for Targeted Therapy
Cancer Science, EarlyView.This complex comprises of scaffold CUL1, SKP1, RBX1 and FBXO11 receptor. The substrate is phosphorylated by specific kinase enzyme and recognized by the substrate recognition domain. FBXO11 targets numerous substrates for ubiquitination and degradation, FBXO11 substrates mainly include Snail, ZEB1, p53, BCL6, CDT2, CIITA, Cdc25a, hnRNPA2B1, SAMD1 and ...

Molecular Motors in Blood–Brain Barrier Maintenance by Astrocytes
Brain SciencesThe blood–brain barrier (BBB) comprises distinct cell types, including endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes, and is essential for central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis by selectively regulating molecular transport and maintaining integrity. In

RNF13 regulates the endolysosomal pathway through interaction with the small GTPase Arl8B
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF13 functions as a regulatory scaffold, organizing Arl8B‐dependent complexes and tuning downstream signaling that controls endolysosomal organization and trafficking. In this model, wild‐type RNF13 associates with Arl8B on endolysosomes, whereas Arl8B (E22D/F55A) or RNF13 (L244A) variants weaken complex assembly, potentially ...

Engineered kinesin motor proteins amenable to small-molecule inhibition
Nature Communications, 2016 The use of specific small molecule inhibitors can contribute to the study of kinesins' cellular functions. Here the authors develop a chemical-genetic approach to engineer kinesin motors that can be efficiently inhibited upon addition of cell-permeable ...
