Silencing of cryptic prophages in Corynebacterium glutamicum
DNA of viral origin represents a ubiquitous element of bacterial genomes. Its integration into host regulatory circuits is a pivotal driver of microbial evolution but requires the stringent regulation of phage gene activity. In this study, we describe the nucleoid-associated protein CgpS, which represents an essential protein functioning as a xenogeneic silencer in the Gram-positive Corynebacte...
متن کاملHistamine Receptors as Potential Therapeutic Targets for Cancer Drug Development
Although research over the last decade has led to new and improved therapies for a variety of different diseases, anticancer drug therapy continues to have undesirable outcomes, including both poor response and severe toxicity. In addition to the critical need to discover new drugs, it is important to optimize existing therapies in order to minimize adverse reactions and maximize efficacy. In t...
متن کاملIAP proteins as targets for drug development in oncology
The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) constitute a family of proteins involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell death, immune and inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell motility. There is accumulating evidence supporting IAP-targeting in tumors: IAPs regulate various cellular processes that contribute to tumor development, such as ...
متن کاملProtein Kinases as Drug Development Targets for Heart Disease Therapy
Protein kinases are intimately integrated in different signal transduction pathways for the regulation of cardiac function in both health and disease. Protein kinase A (PKA), Ca²⁺-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK), protein kinase C (PKC), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are not only involved in the control of subcellular activities for maint...
متن کاملInflammation-activated protein kinases as targets for drug development.
Given the prevalence and debilitating nature of chronic inflammatory diseases, there is a never-ending quest to identify novel targets for the rational development of antiinflammatory drugs. The major signaling pathway that controls inflammation-associated gene expression is the one which leads to activation of transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB. Therefore, inhibitors of the kinase resp...
