Elucidation of Ligand-Dependent Modulation of Disorder-Order Transitions in the Oncoprotein MDM2. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Numerous biomolecular interactions involve unstructured protein regions, but how to exploit such interactions to enhance the affinity of a lead molecule in the context of rational drug design remains uncertain.

Advanced Materials for Biologics Delivery to Brain Tumors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Material innovation is central to unlocking the therapeutic potential of biologics against many central nervous system diseases, including brain cancer. By engineering carriers with controlled transport, targeting, and release properties, advanced materials can overcome the blood–brain barrier and tumor microenvironment, improving the delivery of ...

Mechanistic Role of the Mdm2/MdmX Lid Domain in Regulating Their Interactions with p53

Biomolecules
p53 functions as a critical guardian of the genome, orchestrating tumor suppression pathways and ensuring the integrity of chromosomal stability. Mdm2 and MdmX, homologous proteins, serve as negative feedback regulators of p53.

Loss of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RINES via CpG Methylation Relieves Suppression of STAT3 and MYC, Facilitating Multiple Tumorigeneses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulated protein modifications drive tumorigenesis. RINES, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, represses tumor cell proliferation and metastasis by facilitating RING domain‐dependent, ubiquitin–proteasome‐mediated degradation of STAT3 and MYC, which consequently restrains cancer stemness and oncogenic progression.

An MDM2 inhibitor achieves synergistic cytotoxic effects with adenoviruses lacking E1B55kDa gene on mesothelioma with the wild-type p53 through augmenting NFI expression

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
A majority of mesothelioma specimens were defective of p14 and p16 expression due to deletion of the INK4A/ARF region, and the p53 pathway was consequently inactivated by elevated MDM2 functions which facilitated p53 degradaton. We investigated a role of

Modulation of Lung Adenocarcinoma by Phosphorylated FOXN3‐Mediated Transcriptional Inactivation of p53

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In non‐tumorous lung tissues, FOXN3 promotes the transcriptional activation of p53 by facilitating its recruitment to target promoters, thereby suppressing lung tumorigenesis through activation of the p53 signaling pathway. Conversely, in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, hyperphosphorylated FOXN3 dissociates from the promoters of p53‐responsive genes and ...

Promising Terpenes as Natural Antagonists of Cancer: An In-Silico Approach

Molecules, 2019
Overexpression of murine double minute 2 (MDM2) results in the inactivation of p53 and causes cancer which is a leading cause of death in recent era. In recent decades, much attention has been paid to discover potential inhibitors against MDM2 in order ...

SPSB1 Promotes Subcutaneous Adipose Hyperplasia in Facial Port‐Wine Stains by Controlling HDAC1 Degradation and Stability Through Two Distinct Proteolytic Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In PWS‐ASPCs, FOSL1 drives the expression of SPSB1. SPSB1, as part of the ESC complex, further binds to HDAC1 and promotes K29‐linked and K48‐linked polyubiquitination of HDAC1. These modifications facilitate the degradation of HDAC1 through the ALP and UPS pathways, respectively.

UFL1‐Mediated UFMylation of ENO1 Restrains Aerobic Glycolysis and Colorectal Cancer Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
UFMylation restrains aerobic glycolysis and colorectal cancer progression by modifying the glycolytic enzyme ENO1. Pharmacological enhancement of the UFL1–ENO1 interaction by the FDA‐approved antibiotic torezolid promotes ENO1 UFMylation, suppresses tumor metabolism, and sensitizes colorectal cancer to chemotherapy, revealing an actionable metabolic ...
