Centromeric signaling proteins boost G1 cyclin degradation and modulate cell size in budding yeast
(Public Library of Science, 2018-08-06)
Cell size scales with ploidy in a great range of eukaryotes, but the underlying mechanisms
remain unknown. Using various orthogonal single-cell approaches, we show that cell size
increases linearly ...
A systematic analysis of orphan cyclins reveals CNTD2 as a new oncogenic driver in lung cancer
(Scientific Reports, 2017-08-31)
As lung cancer has increased to the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, prognostic
biomarkers and efective targeted treatments remain lacking despite advances based on patients’
stratifcation. ...
Phosphoregulation of the oncogenic protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) by the atypical CDK16/CCNY complex
(Experimental and molecular medicine, 2019)
CDK16 (also known as PCTAIRE1 or PCTK1) is an atypical member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family that forms an active complex with cyclin Y (CCNY). Although both proteins have been recently ...
Structural (betaalpha) 8 TIM barrel model of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2003)
This study describes three novel homozygous missense mutations (S75R, S201Y, and D204N) in the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) lyase gene, which caused 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria in ...
Polyphosphate degradation by Nudt3-Zn2+ mediates oxidative stress response
(Elsevier, 2021)
Polyphosphate (polyP) is a polymer of hundreds of phosphate residues present in all organisms. In mammals, polyP is involved in crucial physiological processes, including coagulation, inflammation, and ...
CPT1c is localized in endoplasmic reticulum of neurons and has carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008)
CPT1c is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) isoform that is expressed only in the brain. The enzyme has recently been localized in neuron mitochondria. Although it has high sequence identity with ...
The atypical cyclin CNTD2 promotes colon cancer cell proliferation and migration
(Scientific Reports, 2018-08-07)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with 8–10% of these tumours presenting a BRAF (V600E) mutation. Cyclins are known oncogenes deregulated in many cancers, but the role ...
Atypical cyclin P regulates cancer cell stemness through activation of the WNT pathway
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Purpose: Cancer stem cells represent a cancer cell subpopulation that has been found to be associated with metastasis and chemoresistance. Therefore, it is vital to identify mechanisms regulating cancer ...
Atypical cyclins: the extended family portrait
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Regulation of cell division is orchestrated by cyclins, which bind and activate their catalytic workmates, the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclins have been traditionally defined by an oscillating ...
Comprehensive and quantitative analysis of G1 cyclins. A tool for studying the cell cycle
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06-25)
In eukaryotes, the cell cycle is driven by the actions of several cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) and an array of regulatory proteins called cyclins, due to the cyclical expression patterns of the latter. ...
