FGFR3-TACC3 is an oncogenic fusion protein in respiratory epithelium [PDF]
Structural rearrangements of the genome can drive lung tumorigenesis through the generation of fusion genes with oncogenic properties. Advanced genomic approaches have identified the presence of a genetic fusion between fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and transforming acidic coiled-coil 3 (TACC3) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ...

FOP is a centriolar satellite protein involved in ciliogenesis. [PDF]
Centriolar satellites are proteinaceous granules that are often clustered around the centrosome. Although centriolar satellites have been implicated in protein trafficking in relation to the centrosome and cilium, the details of their function and ...

SUMOylation inhibits FOXM1 activity and delays mitotic transition [PDF]
The forkhead box transcription factor FOXM1 is an essential effector of G2/M-phase transition, mitosis and the DNA damage response. As such, it is frequently deregulated during tumorigenesis. Here we report that FOXM1 is dynamically modified by SUMO1 but

Myeloproliferative neoplasms and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway: an overview
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are caused by a clonal proliferation of a hematopoietic progenitor. First described in 1951 as 'Myeloproliferative Diseases' and reevaluated by the World Health Organization classification system in 2011, myeloproliferative ...

Localization of the Major NF-κB-activating Site and the Sole TRAF3 Binding Site of LMP-1 Defines Two Distinct Signaling Motifs [PDF]
The TRAF3 molecule interacts with the cytoplasmic carboxyl terminus (COOH terminus) of the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded oncogene LMP-1. NF-κB activation is a downstream signaling event of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) molecules in

Differential Subcellular Localization Regulates Oncogenic Signaling by ROS1 Kinase Fusion Proteins [PDF]
Abstract Chromosomal rearrangements involving receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) are a clinically relevant oncogenic mechanism in human cancers. These chimeric oncoproteins often contain the C-terminal kinase domain of the RTK joined in cis to various N-terminal, nonkinase fusion partners.

Orchestration of autophagosome fusion by STRIPAK complex components in muscle tissue
Autophagy is a central process responsible for the disposal of normal as well as damaged cellular proteins and organelles. Proper regulation of multiple steps – including initiation and the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes – is essential for ...

The molecular basis of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) arise from the malignant transformation of hematopoietic progenitors primed toward T cell development, as result of a multistep oncogenic process involving constitutive activation of NOTCH signaling and ...
