Early origin and evolution of the FtsZ/tubulin protein family [PDF]

, 2023
The origin of the FtsZ/tubulin protein family was extremely relevant for life since these proteins are present in nearly all organisms, carrying out essential functions such as cell division or forming a major part of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotes ...

Adaptor protein CIN85 potentiates the motility of osteosarcoma cells via the Akt/mTOR and MMP2‐COL3A1 axis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CIN85 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma, particularly in metastatic lesions. Its overexpression increases cell migration and Matrigel invasion, while silencing CIN85 suppresses these behaviors. Transcriptome analysis shows that CIN85 regulates MMP2, COL3A1, and Akt/mTOR signaling. Targeting these pathways reverses CIN85‐induced motility, highlighting

Cryo-EM structures of the tubulin cofactors reveal the molecular basis of alpha/beta-tubulin biogenesis

Nature Communications
Microtubule polarity and dynamic polymerization arise from the self-association properties of the αβ-tubulin heterodimer. For decades, it has remained unclear how the tubulin cofactors TBCD, TBCE, TBCC, and the Arl2 GTPase mediate the biogenesis of αβ ...

The Novel Diketopiperazine Derivative, Compound 5-3, Selectively Inhibited the Proliferation of FLT3-ITD Mutant Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Cells

Marine Drugs
The internal tandem duplication mutation of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD) is associated with high recurrence and mortality rates in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), making it a critical target for anti-AML therapies.

Functional genomics identifies five distinct molecular subtypes with clinical relevance and pathways for growth control in epithelial ovarian cancer

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is hallmarked by a high degree of heterogeneity. To address this heterogeneity, a classification scheme was developed based on gene expression patterns of 1538 tumours. Five, biologically distinct subgroups — Epi‐A, Epi‐B,

Clinical and Functional Characterization of the Recurrent TUBA1A p.(Arg2His) Mutation

Brain Sciences, 2018
The TUBA1A gene encodes tubulin alpha-1A, a protein that is highly expressed in the fetal brain. Alpha- and beta-tubulin subunits form dimers, which then co-assemble into microtubule polymers: dynamic, scaffold-like structures that perform key functions ...

A new microtubule-stabilizing agent shows potent antiviral effects against African swine fever virus with no cytotoxicity

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causal agent of a fatal disease of domestic swine for which no effective antiviral drugs are available. Recently, it has been shown that microtubule-targeting agents hamper the infection cycle of different viruses.

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.
