Inhibition of retinoblastoma mRNA degradation through Poly (A) involved in the neuroprotective effect of berberine against cerebral ischemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Berberine is one kind of isoquinoline alkaloid with anti-apoptotic effects on the neurons suffering ischemia. To address the explanation for these activities, the berberine-induced cell cycle arrest during neurons suffering ischemia/reperfusion had been ...

Contagious obesity: from adenovirus 36 to RB dysfunction [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Significant overweight represents a major health problem in industrialized countries. Besides its known metabolic origins, this condition may also have an infectious cause, as recently postulated. Here, it is surmised that the potentially causative adenovirus 36 contributes to such disorder by inactivating the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein ...

Virtual Identification of Essential Proteins Within the Protein Interaction Network of Yeast [PDF]
, 2005 Topological analysis of large scale protein-protein interaction networks (PINs) is important for understanding the organisational and functional principles of individual proteins. The number of interactions that a protein has in a PIN has been observed to be correlated with its indispensability.

Antiproliferative MCR peptides block physical interaction of insulin with retinoblastoma protein (RB) in human lung cancer cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Fifteen years ago, a structural analysis of the hormone insulin and the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) revealed that they may physically interact with one another. Subsequently, an RB peptide corresponding to the proposed RB binding site for insulin was found to recognize full-length insulin in vitro.

Length, Protein-Protein Interactions, and Complexity [PDF]
, 2004 The evolutionary reason for the increase in gene length from archaea to prokaryotes to eukaryotes observed in large scale genome sequencing efforts has been unclear. We propose here that the increasing complexity of protein-protein interactions has driven the selection of longer proteins, as longer proteins are more able to distinguish among a larger ...

Tumor suppressor and anti-inflammatory protein: an expanded view on insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 In 1994, I conjectured that insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) acts as an inhibitor of malignant transformation by degrading insulin and thus preventing this major growth-stimulatory hormone from binding and thereby inactivating the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB).

The insulin-RB synapse in health and disease: cellular rocket science [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Time has come for a survey of our knowledge on the physical interaction between the growth-promoting insulin molecule and retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB). Theoretical and experimental observations over the past 15 years reviewed here indicate that the insulin-RB dimer may represent an essential molecular crossroads involved in major ...

Cell-permeable tumor suppressor peptides for cancer therapy: back to the future [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Miniaturization is a hallmark of modern technologies. Notably, this feature has not spared molecular biology and its potential applications. Towards developing more effective therapeutics against cancer, studies began to explore more than a decade ago how natural tumor suppression could be translated into antineoplastic drugs.
