Tumor suppressor p53 cross-talks with TRIM family proteins

open access: yesGenes and Diseases, 2021
p53 is a key tumor suppressor. As a transcription factor, p53 accumulates in cells in response to various stress signals and selectively transcribes its target genes to regulate a wide variety of cellular stress responses to exert its function in tumor ...

VAV Proteins as Double Agents in Cancer: Oncogenes with Tumor Suppressor Roles

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Guanosine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are responsible for catalyzing the transition of small GTPases from the inactive (GDP-bound) to the active (GTP-bound) states. RHO GEFs, including VAV proteins, play essential signaling roles in a wide variety

The Role of Epstein-Barr Virus in Modulating Key Tumor Suppressor Genes in Associated Malignancies: Epigenetics, Transcriptional, and Post-Translational Modifications

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is ubiquitous and carried by approximately 90% of the world’s adult population. Several mechanisms and pathways have been proposed as to how EBV facilitates the pathogenesis and progression of malignancies, such as Hodgkin’s ...

From Anti-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Immune Response to Cancer Onset via Molecular Mimicry and Cross-Reactivity

open access: yesGlobal Medical Genetics, 2021
Background and Objectives Whether exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may predispose to the risk of cancer in individuals with no prior cancers is a crucial question that remains unclear.

Retinoblastoma Protein Paralogs and Tumor Suppression

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
The retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB1) is the first tumor suppressor gene discovered and a prototype for understanding regulatory networks that function in opposition to oncogenic stimuli.

Targeted protein degradation as a tumor suppressor [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2014
Targeted protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has an essential role in carcinogenesis and cancer cell survival. Thus, the search for proteasome inhibitors is of great interest as a potential anticancer therapy.1 Recent studies by the Ferbeyre group suggest that certain UPS-targeted proteins play a role not just in carcinogenesis,

Proapoptotic Function of the Retinoblastoma Tumor Suppressor Protein [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Cell, 2009
The retinoblastoma protein (pRB) tumor suppressor blocks cell proliferation by repressing the E2F transcription factors. This inhibition is relieved through mitogen-induced phosphorylation of pRB, triggering E2F release and activation of cell-cycle genes. E2F1 can also activate proapoptotic genes in response to genotoxic or oncogenic stress.
