c-Abl regulation: a tail of two lipids
c-Abl is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase whose activity is tightly controlled in vivo through unknown mechanisms. Recent studies suggest that c-Abl may be regulated in different cellular contexts by distinct lipids.
متن کاملThe long-term outcome and efficacy of PR1/BCR-ABL multipeptides vaccination in chronic myeloid leukemia: results of a 7-year longitudinal investigation
Background: Although Imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), not all patients reach complete remission and a considerable proportion of the patients develop resistance to Imatinib. Material and Methods: In an attempt to increase the tail on the survival curve, we conducted a Phase I/II study of PR1/BCR-ABL multipeptides vaccination trial in CML patients wit...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of a c-Src complex in an active conformation suggests possible steps in c-Src activation.
The regulation of the activity of Abl and Src family tyrosine kinases is mediated by intramolecular interactions between the SH3, SH2, and kinase (SH1) domains. We have determined the crystal structure of an unphosphorylated form of c-Src in which the SH2 domain is not bound to the C-terminal tail. This results in an open structure where the kinase domain adopts an active conformation and the C...
متن کاملA Myristoyl/Phosphotyrosine Switch Regulates c-Abl
The c-Abl tyrosine kinase is inhibited by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Disruption of these mechanisms in the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein leads to several forms of human leukemia. We found that like Src kinases, c-Abl 1b is activated by phosphotyrosine ligands. Ligand-activated c-Abl is particularly sensitive to the anti-cancer drug STI-571/Gleevec/imatinib (STI-571). The SH2 domain-phosphoryl...
متن کاملC-abl Gene Expression in Gastric Cancer
The aim of the study was to observe the differences between the expression of c-abl inside the tumor and at the resection limit at patients with gastric cancer. We use for our study 20 patients with gastric cancer with ages between 49 and 79 years with a median of 65 years, with a repartition on sexes 12 men and 8 women. We collected after the surgical intervention two samples of tissue: one sa...
