  • We observed "protein ubiquitination" and "apoptosis signaling" pathways were both enriched in the two breast cancer models while "IGF signaling" and "cell motility" pathways were enriched in BT474 and "amino acid metabolism" were enriched in the SKBR3 cell line. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Our studies revealed that the synergistic lethality of HDAC and PARP inhibitors resulted from promoting DNA damage and inhibiting HR DNA damage repair pathways, in particular targeting the UHRF1/BRCA1 protein complex. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Understanding the mutations in APOE, their structural properties, and their isoforms is important to determine its role in various diseases and to advance the development of therapeutic strategies. (dovepress.com)
  • It has two main isoforms: TAp63 has an N-terminal TA homologous to that of p53, while ΔNp63 has a truncated but specific TA domain, the expression of which depends on selective promoters. (researchsquare.com)
  • In line with a more complex picture, multiple isoforms of the protein likely exist and non-centrosomal sites of localisation have been reported. (springer.com)
  • Specific mutations on those points molecular evolution of specific genes of influenza viruses, may enable an avian influenza virus to become a human comprehensive comparisons among the nucleotide virus. (cdc.gov)
  • Western blot analysis of HD brain tissue shows full-length huntingtin protein in the nuclear fraction as well as abundant immunopositive bands at lower molecular weight, suggesting proteolytic products in the nucleus. (jci.org)
  • We describe how these are activated, which are their target proteins, and how their proteolytic activity modulates platelet functions. (frontiersin.org)
  • The TMC1 gene is located on chromosome 9q21 and contains 24 exons that encodes a 760 amino acid membrane protein TMC1 with six transmembrane domains [ 12 , 13 ]. (hindawi.com)
