Epstein-Barr virus latent proteins regulate expression of the anti-apoptotic cellular bfl-1 gene [PDF]
, 2005 The ubiquitous and oncogenic human herpes-virus Epstem-Barr virus (EB V) establishes a latent infection and promotes the long-term survival of the infected host cell by targeting the molecular machinery that controls cell fate decisions, including ...

G-quadruplexes: Kinetic stability and effects on the c-KIT promoter [PDF]
, 2013 In addition to the famous Watson & Crick model for B-form duplex DNA, guanine-rich DNA sequences can self-assemble under certain conditions to form a four-stranded structure known as a G-quadruplex. G-quadruplexes are composed of stacks of Gquartets,

Induction of Noxa-mediated apoptosis by modified vaccinia virus Ankara depends on viral recognition by cytosolic helicases, leading to IRF-3/IFN-β-dependent induction of pro-apoptotic Noxa. [PDF]
, 2011 Viral infection is a stimulus for apoptosis, and in order to sustain viral replication many viruses are known to carry genes encoding apoptosis inhibitors. F1L, encoded by the orthopoxvirus modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) has a Bcl-2-like structure.

Targeting apoptosis signaling in pancreatic cancer [PDF]
, 2011 The ability to escape apoptosis or programmed cell death is a hallmark of human cancers, for example pancreatic cancer. This can promote tumorigenesis, since too little cell death by apoptosis disturbs tissue homeostasis.

C/EBPalpha downregualtes c-jun expression [PDF]
, 2003 The transcription factor C/EBPa is crucial for the differentiation of granulocytes. Conditional expression of C/EBPa triggers neutrophilic differentiation and C/EBPa can block TPA induced monocytic differentiation of bipotential myeloid cells.
