The effect of oxidation on the stability of G-quadruplex DNA : implications for oncogene expression [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) are a class of secondary structures formed from Guanine rich sequences. In recent years these structures have been implicated in both telomere maintenance and oncogene expression, and have been shown to be abundant in upstream ...

Selective induction of cell death in melanoma cell lines through targeting of Mcl-1 and A1. [PDF]
Melanoma is an often fatal form of skin cancer which is remarkably resistant against radio- and chemotherapy. Even new strategies that target RAS/RAF signaling and display unprecedented efficacy are characterized by resistance mechanisms.

Suppression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3-dependent B lymphocyte terminal differentiation by BCL-6 [PDF]
Lymphocytes usually differentiate into effector cells within days after antigen exposure, except in germinal centers where terminal differentiation is delayed while somatic hypermutation creates high-affinity antibody mutants. Here we investigate whether

Roles of Bcl-3 in the pathogenesis of murine type 1 diabetes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: It has long been recognized that autoimmunity is often associated with immunodeficiency. The mechanism underlying this paradox is not well understood.

Molecular Interactions of Prodiginines with the BH3 Domain of Anti-Apoptotic Bcl-2 Family Members. [PDF]
Prodigiosin and obatoclax, members of the prodiginines family, are small molecules with anti-cancer properties that are currently under preclinical and clinical trials. The molecular target(s) of these agents, however, is an open question.

Ets-2 is a target for an Akt (protein kinase B)/Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway in macrophages of motheaten-viable mutant mice [PDF]
The transcription factor ets-2 was phosphorylated at residue threonine 72 in a colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)- and mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent manner in macrophages isolated from motheaten-viable (me-v) mice.

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

The role of the proto-oncogene Ski in cortical development [PDF]
The proto-oncogene Ski is an evolutionary conserved protein associated with various cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation as well as transformation and tumor progression.

Proto-oncogene c-jun expression is induced by AML1-ETO in a JNK dependent manner:possible role in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Overexpression of proto-oncogene c-jun and constitutive activation of the Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway have been implicated in the leukemic transformation process.
