Oncogenic herpesviruses sending mixed signals.
Human herpesvirus infections are generally asymptomatic in immune-competent hosts; however, immune dysfunction can unveil inherent oncogenic properties associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. Although these viruses were first discovered in human tumor specimens in 1964 and 1994, respectively, it was discovered later on that large proportions o...
متن کاملSending mixed signals: bone morphogenetic protein in myelination and demyelination.
Developing oligodendrocytes undergo a well-characterized maturation process that is controlled by extrinsic factors that promote specification, proliferation, and differentiation. Inhibitory factors also influence oligodendrocyte development and may regulate the location and number of oligodendrocytes available for myelination. These factors may also repress regeneration and remyelination after...
متن کاملSending signals dynamically.
Proteins mediate transmission of signals along intercellular and intracellular pathways and between the exterior and the interior of a cell. The dynamic properties of signaling proteins are crucial to their functions. We discuss emerging paradigms for the role of protein dynamics in signaling. A central tenet is that proteins fluctuate among many states on evolutionarily selected energy landsca...
متن کاملReviews Evolutionary aspects of oncogenic herpesviruses
Several of the ã-herpesviruses are known to have cellular transforming and oncogenic properties. The genomes of eight distinct ã-herpesviruses have been sequenced, and the resulting database of information has enabled the identification of genetic similarities and diVerences between evolutionarily closely related and distant viruses of the subfamily and between the ã-herpesviruses and other mem...
متن کاملSending and Receiving Hedgehog Signals.
Communication between cells pervades the development and physiology of metazoans. In animals, this process is carried out by a relatively small number of signaling pathways, each consisting of a chain of biochemical events through which extracellular stimuli control the behavior of target cells. One such signaling system is the Hedgehog pathway, which is crucial in embryogenesis and is implicat...
