A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

Inducible expression of the gene of Zinnia elegans coding for extracellular ribonuclease in Nicotiana tabacum plants

, 2012
The gene of Zinnia elegans L. coding for S-like extracellular ribonuclease (ZRNase II) was used to produce transgenic tobacco plants with an increased ribonuclease activity. The protein-coding part of ZRNase II included the signal peptide sequence so the

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Reverse Transcription in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Long-Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon Ty3

Viruses, 2017
Converting the single-stranded retroviral RNA into integration-competent double-stranded DNA is achieved through a multi-step process mediated by the virus-coded reverse transcriptase (RT).

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Castration‐resistant prostate cancer cells are addicted to the high activity of cyclin‐dependent kinase 2

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that emergence of castration‐resistant prostate (CRPC) is associated with significant upregulation of cyclins that positively regulate cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and concomitant downregulation of CDK4 cyclins. This renders CRPC cells dependent on the high activity of CDK2, and CDK2 inhibitors synergistically sensitize CRPC cells to both ...

Prediction of terminal protein and ribonuclease H domains in the gene P product of hepadnaviruses [PDF]

, 1989
By means of comparative analysis of primary and secondary structures, and hydropathy plots of hepadnavirus P proteins new functional domains were revealed additionally to the polymerase domain which had been found earlier in these proteins.
