Significance of KRAS/PAK1/Crk pathway in non-small cell lung cancer oncogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundKey effector(s) of mutated KRAS in lung cancer progression and metastasis are unknown. Here we investigated the role of PAK1/Crk axis in transduction of the oncogenic KRAS signal in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsWe used NSCLC ...

An Activating Mutation in sos-1 Identifies Its Dbl Domain as a Critical Inhibitor of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Pathway during Caenorhabditis elegans Vulval Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Proper regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways is critical for normal development and the prevention of cancer.

Mutations of the BRAF gene in human cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Cancers arise owing to the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal programmes of cell proliferation, differentiation and death. As the first stage of a systematic genome-wide screen for these genes, we have prioritized for analysis ...

Reciprocal regulation of PKA and rac signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases relay extracellular signals through spatial and temporal controlled kinase and GTPase entities.

Targeting Oncogenic BRAF: Past, Present, and Future. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Identifying recurrent somatic genetic alterations of, and dependency on, the kinase BRAF has enabled a "precision medicine" paradigm to diagnose and treat BRAF-driven tumors.

Glutathione Metabolism in Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression and Implications for Therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A significantly increased level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger glutathione (GSH) has been identified as a hallmark of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The proposed mechanism for increased GSH levels is to counteract damaging ROS to sustain the

FAK acts as a suppressor of RTK-MAP kinase signalling in Drosophila melanogaster epithelia and human cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) regulate multiple signalling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. FAK interacts with several RTKs but little is known about how FAK regulates their downstream

Ras-mediated phosphorylation of a conserved threonine residue enhances the transactivation activities of c-Ets1 and c-Ets2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The Ras oncogene products regulate the expression of genes in transformed cells, and members of the Ets family of transcription factors have been implicated in this process.

Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of melanoma initiation and progression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Melanoma is a malignant tumour of melanocytes, which can spread to other organs of the body resulting in severe and/or lethal malignancies. Melanocytes are pigment producing cells found in deep layer of the epidermis and are originated from melanocytes ...

Contribution of the R-Ras2 GTP-binding protein to primary breast tumorigenesis and late-stage metastatic disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
R-Ras2 is a transforming GTPase that shares downstream effectors with Ras subfamily proteins. However, little information exists about the function of this protein in tumorigenesis and its signalling overlap with classical Ras GTPases.
