Activation of Myosin Phosphatase Targeting Subunit by Mitosis-specific Phosphorylation
It has been demonstrated previously that during mitosis the sites of myosin phosphorylation are switched between the inhibitory sites, Ser 1/2, and the activation sites, Ser 19/Thr 18 (Yamakita, Y., S. Yamashiro, and F. Matsumura. 1994. J. Cell Biol. 124:129- 137; Satterwhite, L.L., M.J. Lohka, K.L. Wilson, T.Y. Scherson, L.J. Cisek, J.L. Corden, and T.D. Pollard. 1992. J. Cell Biol. 118:595-60...
متن کاملSelective killing of cancer cells by a small molecule targeting the stress response to ROS
Malignant transformation, drivenby gain-of-functionmutations in oncogenes and loss-of-function mutations in tumour suppressor genes, results in cell deregulation that is frequently associated with enhanced cellular stress (for example, oxidative, replicative, metabolic andproteotoxic stress, andDNAdamage). Adaptation to this stress phenotype is required for cancer cells to survive, and conseque...
متن کاملSelective killing of K-ras–transformed pancreatic cancer cells by targeting NAD(P)H oxidase
INTRODUCTION Oncogenic activation of the K-ras gene occurs in >90% of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of this malignancy. Increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has also been observed in a wide spectrum of cancers. This study aimed to investigate the mechanistic association between K-ras-induced transformation and increased ROS stress and its therape...
متن کاملEnhanced killing of melanoma cells by simultaneously targeting Mcl-1 and NOXA.
By deciphering the dysregulation of apoptosis in melanoma cells, new treatment approaches exploiting aberrant control mechanisms regulating cell death can be envisioned. Among the Bcl-2 family, a BH3-only member, NOXA, functions in a specific mitochondrial-based cell death pathway when melanoma cells are exposed to a proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib). Some therapeutic agents, such as bort...
متن کاملFungal killing by mammalian phagocytic cells.
Phagocytes are considered the most important effector cells in the immune response against fungal infections. To exert their role, they must recognize the invading fungi, internalise, and kill them within the phagosome. Major advances in the field have elucidated the roles of pattern-recognition receptors in the innate immunity sensing and the importance of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species ...
