CRISPR transcript processing: a mechanism for generating a large number of small interfering RNAsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2012
Marko Djordjevic, Magdalena Djordjevic, Konstantin Severinov
CRISPR/Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated sequences) is a recently discovered prokaryotic defense system against foreign DNA, including viruses and plasmids. CRISPR cassette is transcribed as a continuous transcript (pre-crRNA), which is processed by Cas proteins into small RNA molecules (crRNAs) that are responsible for defense against invading viruse...... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of cell-to-cell P-glycoprotein transfer on acquired multidrug resistance in breast cancer: a cell population dynamics modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2011
Pasquier, Jennifer, Magal, Pierre, Boulangé-Lecomte, Céline, Webb, Glenn, Le Foll, Frank
Cancer is a proliferation disease affecting a genetically unstable cell population, in which molecular alterations can be somatically inherited by genetic, epigenetic or extragenetic transmission processes, leading to a cooperation of neoplastic cells within tumoural tissue. The efflux protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is overexpressed in many cancer cells and has known capacity to confer multidrug re...... hiện toàn bộ
Loss of the centrosomal protein ALMS1 alters lipid metabolism and the regulation of extracellular matrix-related processesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Brais Bea-Mascato, Eduardo Gómez-Castañeda, Yara E. Sánchez-Corrales, Sergi Castellano, Diana Valverde
Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is associated with mutations in ALMS1 gene. The main clinical manifestations of ALMS are retinal dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dilated cardiomyopathy and multi-organ fibrosis, characteristic in kidneys and liver. Depletion of the protein encoded by ALMS1 has been associated with the alteration of different processes...... hiện toàn bộ
Selection in spatial stochastic models of cancer: Migration as a key modulator of fitnessSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2010
Craig J Thalhauser, John S Lowengrub, Dwayne Stupack, Natalia L Komarova
We study the selection dynamics in a heterogeneous spatial colony of cells. We use two spatial generalizations of the Moran process, which include cell divisions, death and migration. In the first model, migration is included explicitly as movement to a proximal location. In the second, migration is implicit, through the varied ability of cell types to place their offspring a distance away, in res...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of LINC01419 in regulating the cell stemness in lung adenocarcinoma through recruiting EZH2 and regulating FBP1 expressionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1-12 - 2022
Zhao Chen, Weijian Tang, Yuhan Zhou, Zhengfu He
Recent years have witnessed a growing academic interest in the effects of lncRNAs on tumors. LINC01419 is found to facilitate proliferation and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells, but there is a great deal of uncertainty about how LINC01419 works on LUAD cell stemness. For this reason, the focus of this research is centered on the regulatory impact of LINC01419 on LUAD cell stemness. F...... hiện toàn bộ
RGS5 maintaining vascular homeostasis is altered by the tumor microenvironmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1-14 - 2023

Regulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5), as a negative regulator of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, is highly expressed in arterial VSMCs and pericytes, which is involved in VSMC phenotypic heterogeneity and vascular remodeling in tumors. However, its role in normal and tumor vascular remodeling is controversial. RGS5 knockout (Rgs5-KO) mice and RGS5 overexpression or knockdown in V...... hiện toàn bộ
Endogenous retroviruses of the chicken genomeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-5 - 2008
Ahsan Huda, Nalini Polavarapu, I King Jordan, John F McDonald
We analyzed the chicken (Gallus gallus) genome sequence to search for previously uncharacterized endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences using ab initio and combined evidence approaches. We discovered 11 novel families of ERVs that occupy more than 21 million base pairs, approximately 2%, of the chicken genome. These novel families include a number of recently active full-length elements possessing ...... hiện toàn bộ
MutL homologs in restriction-modification systems and the origin of eukaryotic MORC ATPasesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-9 - 2008
Lakshminarayan M Iyer, Saraswathi Abhiman, L Aravind
The provenance and biochemical roles of eukaryotic MORC proteins have remained poorly understood since the discovery of their prototype MORC1, which is required for meiotic nuclear division in animals. The MORC family contains a combination of a gyrase, histidine kinase, and MutL (GHKL) and S5 domains that together constitute a catalytically active ATPase module. We identify the prokaryotic MORCs ...... hiện toàn bộ
Whole-genome assembly of Akkermansia muciniphila sequenced directly from human stoolSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-11 - 2015

Alterations in gut microbiota composition under antibiotic pressure have been widely studied, revealing a restricted diversity of gut flora, including colonization by organisms such as Enterococci, while their impact on bacterial load is variable. High-level colonization by Akkermansia muciniphila, ranging from 39% to 84% of the total bacterial population, has been recently reported in two patient...... hiện toàn bộ
