Keeping p53 in Check: A High-Stakes Balancing Act
How do regulatory switches achieve high sensitivity within the noisy cellular milieu? Loewer et al. (2010) now use single-cell microscopy to demonstrate that alternative posttranslational modifications allow the tumor suppressor p53 to differentiate between benign breaks in DNA during the cell cycle and deleterious damage caused by mutagens.

متن کاملCentrosomes: Keeping Tumors in Check
Centrosomal abnormalities have been observed in a wide range of tumors, but it is not clear whether these abnormalities alone can induce cancer formation or whether they are a consequence of cancer progression. Recent work in Drosophila suggests that centrosome defects in asymmetrically dividing cells can induce tumors at a higher frequency than other conditions known to cause genomic instability.
متن کاملKeeping EGFR signaling in check
The discovery of multiple entry and trafficking routes within cells has changed the classical view of endocytosis: once thought to be a simple one-way mechanism to downmodulate plasma membrane (PM) signaling, it is now considered to be a network of intricate and interconnected highly regulated pathways, which allows the resolution of receptor-originated signals in space and time. In addition to...
متن کاملA PKGarious Balancing Act
The pathologically hypertrophied and failing heart is a battlefield in a war that would make even George Lucas proud. On the one side, you have hemodynamic, neurohormonal, morphological, and cellular/molecular dark forces urging the ventricle toward decompensation and ultimate demise. On the other, Jedi signaling cascades try valiantly to stave off the impending disaster. Alas, unlike the movie...
