SUMO wrestling with Ras
This review discusses our current understanding of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) pathway and how it functionally intersects with Ras signaling in cancer. The Ras family of small GTPases are frequently mutated in cancer. The role of the SUMO pathway in cancer and in Ras signaling is currently not well understood. Recent studies have shown that the SUMO pathway can both regulate Ras/MA...
متن کاملWrestling with rep exposure
A central methodological problem in programming with multiple levels of abstractions is the loosely defined problem of rep exposure. This paper traces the problem of rep exposure to the precisely defined notion of abstract aliasing. The paper also outlines a statically-enforceable discipline for avoiding abstract aliasing, but the outline is incomplete.
متن کاملYY1 Regulates Melanocyte Development and Function by Cooperating with MITF
Studies of coat color mutants have greatly contributed to the discovery of genes that regulate melanocyte development and function. Here, we generated Yy1 conditional knockout mice in the melanocyte-lineage and observed profound melanocyte deficiency and premature gray hair, similar to the loss of melanocytes in human piebaldism and Waardenburg syndrome. Although YY1 is a ubiquitous transcripti...
متن کاملBiological and mathematical modeling of melanocyte development.
We aim to evaluate environmental and genetic effects on the expansion/proliferation of committed single cells during embryonic development, using melanoblasts as a paradigm to model this phenomenon. Melanoblasts are a specific type of cell that display extensive cellular proliferation during development. However, the events controlling melanoblast expansion are still poorly understood due to in...
متن کاملThe melanocyte lineage in development and disease
Melanocyte development provides an excellent model for studying more complex developmental processes. Melanocytes have an apparently simple aetiology, differentiating from the neural crest and migrating through the developing embryo to specific locations within the skin and hair follicles, and to other sites in the body. The study of pigmentation mutations in the mouse provided the initial key ...
