The parafibromin tumor suppressor protein inhibits cell proliferation by repression of the c-myc proto-oncogene [PDF]
Parafibromin is a tumor suppressor protein encoded by HRPT2 , a gene recently implicated in the hereditary hyperparathyroidism–jaw tumor syndrome, parathyroid cancer, and a subset of kindreds with familial isolated hyperparathyroidism.

Manipulation of the host cell is a crucial part of life for many intracellular organisms. We have recently come to appreciate the extent to which the intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii reprograms its host cell, and this is illustrated by the marked

Integration of genome and chromatin structure with gene expression profiles to predict c-MYC recognition site binding and function. [PDF]
The MYC genes encode nuclear sequence specific-binding DNA-binding proteins that are pleiotropic regulators of cellular function, and the c-MYC proto-oncogene is deregulated and/or mutated in most human cancers. Experimental studies of MYC binding to the

Heat Shock Protein 90α–Dependent B‐Cell‐2–Associated Transcription Factor 1 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Proliferation by Regulating MYC Proto‐Oncogene c‐MYC mRNA Stability [PDF]
B‐cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‐2)‐associated transcription factor 1 (Bclaf1) is known to be involved in diverse biological processes, but, to date, there has been no evidence for any functional role of Bclaf1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression.

Induced pluripotent stem cells are usually derived by reprogramming transcription factors (OSKM), such as octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4), (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2), Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), and cellular proto-oncogene (c-

Hexachlorobenzene-Induced Early Changes in Ornithine Decarboxylase and Protein Tyrosine Kinase Activities, Polyamines and c-Myc, c-Fos and c-Jun Proto-Oncogenes in Rat Liver [PDF]
El hexaclorobenceno (HCB) es un compuesto químico lipófilo que se distribuye ampliamente en el medio ambiente. Se sabe que el HCB causa tumores hepáticos en animales de experimentación. En el presente estudio se investigó el efecto in vivo del tratamiento con HCB sobre las actividades de la ornitina descarboxilasa (ODC) y la proteína tirosina quinasa ...

The deazaguanine‐derivative, queuine, affects cell proliferation, protein phosphorylation and the expression of the proto oncogenes c‐fos and c‐myc in HeLa cells [PDF]
In higher eukaryotes the hypermodified guanine analogue, queuine (7‐(5‐(((1S,4S,5R)‐4,5‐dihydroxy‐2‐cyclopentene‐1‐yl)amino)‐methyl)‐7‐deazaguanine), occurs free or as modified nucleoside (Q) in the anticodon of specific tRNAs. Fast proliferating tissues and tumors contain considerable amounts of free queuine and Q‐deficient tRNAs.

Ubiquitylation in immune disorders and cancer: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic implications [PDF]
Conjugation of ubiquitin to proteins (ubiquitylation) has emerged to be one of the most crucial post-translational modifications controlling virtually all cellular processes.

Maf1, a new player in the regulation of human RNA polymerase III transcription. [PDF]
Human RNA polymerase III (pol III) transcription is regulated by several factors, including the tumor suppressors P53 and Rb, and the proto-oncogene c-Myc.
