Targeting the AKT/mTOR pathway attenuates the metastatic potential of colorectal carcinoma circulating tumor cells in a murine xenotransplantation model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells

Slip of grip of a molecular motor on a crowded track: Modeling shift of reading frame of ribosome on RNA template [PDF]

EPL, vol.114, 68005 (2016), 2016
We develop a stochastic model for the programmed frameshift of ribosomes synthesizing a protein while moving along a mRNA template. Normally the reading frame of a ribosome decodes successive triplets of nucleotides on the mRNA in a step-by-step manner.

Folding molecular origami from ribosomal RNA

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Approximately 80 percent of the total RNA in cells is ribosomal RNA (rRNA), making it an abundant and inexpensive natural source of long, single-stranded nucleic acid, which could be used as raw material for the fabrication of molecular origami.

The human RNA helicase DHX37 is required for release of the U3 snoRNP from pre-ribosomal particles

RNA Biology, 2018
Ribosome synthesis is an essential cellular process, and perturbation of human ribosome production is linked to cancer and genetic diseases termed ribosomopathies. During their assembly, pre-ribosomal particles undergo numerous structural rearrangements,

Tryptophan‐sensing receptor GPR142 expression levels are directly regulated by proinflammatory cytokines in ghrelin‐producing cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GPR142, a tryptophan‐sensing receptor, stimulates gastrointestinal hormones like ghrelin and is linked to inflammation regulation. Proinflammatory cytokines suppress ghrelin production, while tryptophan levels decrease via IDO1 activation. Our findings reveal that proinflammatory cytokines directly regulate GPR142 expression in ghrelin‐producing cells,

PTRF/Cavin-1 promotes efficient ribosomal RNA transcription in response to metabolic challenges

eLife, 2016
Ribosomal RNA transcription mediated by RNA polymerase I represents the rate-limiting step in ribosome biogenesis. In eukaryotic cells, nutrients and growth factors regulate ribosomal RNA transcription through various key factors coupled to cell growth ...

Transcription–translation coupling: direct interactions of RNA polymerase with ribosomes and ribosomal subunits

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase and ribosomes can bind concurrently to the same RNA transcript, leading to the functional coupling of transcription and translation.

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Molecular interactions between the constituents of small ribosomal subunit [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Availability of high-resolution crystal structures of ribosomal subunits of different species opens a route to investigate about molecular interactions between its constituents and stabilization strategy. Structural analysis of the small ribosomal subunit shows that primary binder proteins are mainly employed in stabilizing the folded ribosomal RNA by ...

Physical modeling of ribosomes along messenger RNA: estimating kinetic parameters from ribosome profiling experiments using a ballistic model [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Gene expression consists in the synthesis of proteins from the information encoded on DNA. One of the two main steps of gene expression is the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide sequences of amino acids. Here, by taking into account mRNA degradation, we model the motion of ribosomes along mRNA with a ballistic model where particles ...
