An approach for the identification of targets specific to bone metastasis using cancer genes interactome and gene ontology analysis [PDF]
, 2012 Metastasis is one of the most enigmatic aspects of cancer pathogenesis and is a major cause of cancer-associated mortality. Secondary bone cancer (SBC) is a complex disease caused by metastasis of tumor cells from their primary site and is characterized ...

Dependence of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations on protein shape [PDF]
, 2022 Membrane proteins typically deform the surrounding lipid bilayer membrane, which can play an important role in the function, regulation, and organization of membrane proteins. Membrane elasticity theory provides a beautiful description of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations, in which all physical parameters can be directly determined from ...

Binding of anisotropic curvature-inducing proteins onto membrane tubes [PDF]
Soft Matter 18, 3384-3394 (2022), 2022 Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins and other curvature-inducing proteins have anisotropic shapes and anisotropically bend biomembrane. Here, we report how the anisotropic proteins bind the membrane tube and are orientationally ordered using mean-field theory including an orientation-dependent excluded volume.

Matriptase regulates c-Met mediated proliferation and invasion in inflammatory breast cancer. [PDF]
, 2016 The poor prognosis for patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) compared to patients with other types of breast cancers emphasizes the need to better understand the molecular underpinnings of this disease with the goal of developing effective ...

Curvature sensing of curvature-inducing proteins with internal structure [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 109, 024403 (2024), 2023 Many types of peripheral and transmembrane proteins can sense and generate membrane curvature. Laterally isotropic proteins and crescent proteins with twofold rotational symmetry, such as Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins, have been studied theoretically. However, proteins often have an asymmetric structure or a higher rotational symmetry.

In silico evidence that protein unfolding is as a precursor of the protein aggregation [PDF]
ChemPhysChem 2020, 21, 377, 2019 We present a computational study on the folding and aggregation of proteins in aqueous environment, as function of its concentration. We show how the increase of the concentration of individual protein species can induce a partial unfolding of the native conformation without the occurrence of aggregates. A further increment of the protein concentration

Targeting RTK signaling pathways in cancer [PDF]
, 2015 The RAS/MAP kinase and the RAS/PI3K/AKT pathways play a key role in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation and survival. The induction of these pathways depends on Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) that are activated upon ligand binding.
