WWOX and Its Binding Proteins in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) is known as one of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease. WWOX binds Tau via its C-terminal SDR domain and interacts with Tau phosphorylating enzymes ERK, JNK, and GSK-3β ...

Association of WWOX Gene Expression with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Aim:The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene is located on chromosome 16q23.3-q24.1 and contains the common chromosomal fragile site, FRA16D. The WWOX gene encodes a Wwox tumor suppressor protein with a molecular weight of 46 kDa.

Normal cells repel WWOX-negative or -dysfunctional cancer cells via WWOX cell surface epitope 286-299 [PDF]
Yu-An Chen et al characterize the role of cell surface epitopes of the tumor suppressor protein WWOX in cell–cell recognition. The find that cells expressing functional WWOX, repel cancer cells which express dysfunctional WWOX or lack this protein, in a ...

Introduction: The discovery of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) dates back to the pre-genomics era, but the progress in this field is still dynamic and leverages current post-genomics solutions.

WWOX Modulates ROS-Dependent Senescence in Bladder Cancer
The tumor-suppressor gene, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), has been found to be lost in various types of cancers. ROS result as a tightly regulated signaling process for the induction of cell senescence.

WWOX Phosphorylation, Signaling, and Role in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Homozygous null mutation of tumor suppressor WWOX/Wwox gene leads to severe neural diseases, metabolic disorders and early death in the newborns of humans, mice and rats.

Endogenous Processes Underlying Clock-Like Mutational Signatures. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Wellcome Trust scientists have shown that “mutational signatures” in specific nucleotide contexts accumulate in genomes of mammalian tissues, providing clues to underlying causes of specific signatures. Analysis of cancer genomes has identified more than 50 single‐base substitution (SBS) signatures, with SBS1, SBS5, and SBS40 linked to aging ...

Folate Interaction With Genetic Risk for Neural Tube Defects Among Infants in Bangladesh. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Neural tube defects such as spina bifida (SB) are congenital anomalies associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Environmental factors, particularly folate, modify SB risk. Based on recurrence rates of SB within families, genetic risk also contributes to SB development.

Loss of wwox expression in zebrafish embryos causes edema and alters Ca2+ dynamics [PDF]
We investigated the role of the WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (wwox) gene in the embryonic development of zebrafish, with particular emphasis on intracellular Ca2+ dynamics because Ca2+ is an important intracellular messenger.

Tumor suppressor WWOX inhibits cancer growth and retards Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Supporting evidence shows that the more strongly WWOX binds intracellular protein partners, the weaker is cancer cell growth in vivo.
