Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Overcoming maladaptive plasticity through plastic compensation

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2013
Most species evolve within fluctuating environments, and have developed adaptations to meet the challenges posed by environmental heterogeneity. One such adaptation is phenotypic plasticity, or the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple ...

EMT-driven plasticity prospectively increases cell–cell variability to promote therapeutic adaptation in breast cancer

open access: yesCancer Cell International
Cellular plasticity enables cancer cells to adapt non-genetically, thereby preventing therapeutic success. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a type of plasticity linked to resistance and metastasis.

Increased phenotypic plasticity to climate may have boosted the invasion success of polyploid Centaurea stoebe.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Phenotypic plasticity may allow organisms to cope with altered environmental conditions as e.g. after the introduction into a new range. In particular polyploid organisms, containing more than two sets of chromosomes, may show high levels of plasticity ...

Impacts of sperm competition on mating behaviour and life history traits in a simultaneous hermaphrodite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Evolutionary theory suggests that post-copulatory sexual selection plays an important role in the evolution of reproductive traits of sexually reproducing animals.

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

Responding to environmental change: plastic responses vary little in a colonial breeder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The impact of environmental change on animal populations is strongly influenced by the ability of individuals to plastically adjust key life-history events.

Guiding AlphaFold to predict how Munc13‐1 opens Syntaxin‐1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The syntaxin‐1 Habc‐domain (orange), linker (pink) and SNARE motif (yellow) form a closed conformation that binds to Munc18‐1 (violet) and is opened by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain (cyan) to form the SNARE complex that triggers neurotransmitter release.

Phenotypic Plasticity in Bacterial Plasmids [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2004
AbstractPlasmid pB15 was previously shown to evolve increased horizontal (infectious) transfer at the expense of reduced vertical (intergenerational) transfer and vice versa, a key trade-off assumed in theories of parasite virulence. Whereas the models predict that susceptible host abundance should determine which mode of transfer is selectively ...
