HPV proteins as targets for therapeutic intervention.
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the aetiological agents of several types of anogenital tumours, particularly cervical carcinoma. Recent evidence also suggests a role for HPV in the development of squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, especially in immunocompromised individuals. HPV infection also produces a number of non-malignant, but nonetheless cosmetically unpleasant lesions. Therefore, an...
متن کاملTARGETING TNF-RECEPTOR ASSOCIATED FACTORS (TRAFs) FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION
TNF-Receptors Associated Factors (TRAFs) are the molecules that upon engagement of the TNF-receptor (TNFR) by a TNF-family ligand come first in contact with the activated TNFR, initially acting as docking molecules for kinases and other effector proteins that are recruited to the activated receptor. TRAFs later regulate the subcellular relocalization of the receptor-ligand complex and finally t...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase: targeting adhesion signaling pathways for therapeutic intervention.
The tumor microenvironment plays a central role in cancer progression and metastasis. Within this environment, cancer cells respond to a host of signals including growth factors and chemotactic factors, as well as signals from adjacent cells, cells in the surrounding stroma, and signals from the extracellular matrix. Targeting the pathways that mediate many of these signals has been a major goa...
متن کاملRab proteins and endocytic trafficking: potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
Rab GTPases serve as master regulators of vesicular membrane transport on both the exo- and endocytic pathways. In their active forms, rab proteins serve in cargo selection and as scaffolds for the sequential assembly of effectors requisite for vesicle budding, cytoskeletal transport, and target membrane fusion. Rab protein function is in turn tightly regulated at the level of protein expressio...
متن کاملNew dimension in therapeutic targeting of BCL-2 family proteins
Proteins of the BCL-2 family control the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Targeting these proteins proves to be an attractive strategy for anticancer therapy. The biological context is based on the fact that BH3-only members of the family are specific antagonists of prosurvival members. This prompted the identification of "BH3 mimetic" compounds. These small peptides or organic molecules ind...
