Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Shape based indexing for faster search of RNA family databases [PDF]
, 2008 Janssen S, Reeder J, Giegerich R. Shape based indexing for faster search of RNA family databases. BMC Bioinformatics. 2008;9(1):131.Background: Most non-coding RNA families exert their function by means of a conserved, common secondary structure.

Comparison of Three Computational Tools for the Prediction of RNA Tertiary Structures
Non-Coding RNAUnderstanding the structures of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) is important for the development of RNA-based therapeutics. There are inherent challenges in employing current experimental techniques to determine the tertiary (3D) structures of RNAs with high ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Phylogenetic analysis of the structure of RNase MRP RNA in yeasts
, 2002 RNase MRP is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme involved in processing precursor rRNA in eukaryotes. To facilitate our structure-function analysis of RNase MRP from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have determined the likely secondary structure of the RNA component ...

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 ...

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Protein-RNA interactions: a structural analysis [PDF]
, 2001 A detailed computational analysis of 32 protein-RNA complexes is presented. A number of physical and chemical properties of the intermolecular interfaces are calculated and compared with those observed in protein-double-stranded DNA and protein-single ...

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.
