Muc4/Muc4 Functions And Regulation In Cancer., Goldi Kozloski Dec 2009

Muc4/Muc4 Functions And Regulation In Cancer., Goldi Kozloski

Goldi A Kozloski

The membrane mucin MUC4 (human) is abundantly expressed in many epithelia, where it is proposed to play a protective role, and is overexpressed in some epithelial tumors. Studies on the rat homologue, Muc4, indicate that it acts through anti-adhesive or signaling mechanisms. In particular, Muc4/MUC4 can serve as a ligand/modulator of the receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2, regulating its phosphorylation and the phosphorylation of its partner ErbB3, with or without the involvement of the ErbB3 ligand neuregulin. Muc4/MUC4 can also modulate cell apoptosis via multiple mechanisms, both ErbB2 dependent and independent. Muc4/MUC4 expression is regulated by multiple mechanisms, ranging from transcriptional …

Conformational Changes In Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling: An Erbb Garden Of Delights., Goldi Kozloski

Goldi A Kozloski

The ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases plays important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Recent structural studies of these receptors have demonstrated dramatic conformational effects that are critical to their ligand binding and activation, and have shown that these receptors provide levels of control beyond the classic dimerization/activation mechanism. These results indicate that this class of receptors has evolved subtle regulatory mechanisms via genetic and protein structural changes to influence their effects on cell behaviors.

Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genomic Data, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

In the past decade, we have witnessed a period of unparallel development in the field of cancer genomics. To address the same or similar biomedical questions, multiple cancer genomic studies have been independently designed and conducted. Cancer gene signatures identified from analysis of individual datasets often have low reproducibility. A cost-effective way of improving reproducibility is to conduct integrative analysis of datasets from multiple studies with comparable designs. To properly integrate multiple studies and conduct integrative analysis, we need to access various public data warehouses, retrieve experiment protocols and raw data, evaluate individual studies and select those with comparable designs, …

Triangle Network Motifs Predict Complexes By Complementing High-Error Interactomes With Structural Information, Bill Andreopoulos, Christof Winter, Dirk Labudde, Michael Schroeder

William B. Andreopoulos

Background
A lot of high-throughput studies produce protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs) with many errors and missing information. Even for genome-wide approaches, there is often a low overlap between PPINs produced by different studies. Second-level neighbors separated by two protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were previously used for predicting protein function and finding complexes in high-error PPINs. We retrieve second level neighbors in PPINs, and complement these with structural domain-domain interactions (SDDIs) representing binding evidence on proteins, forming PPI-SDDI-PPI triangles.

Results
We find low overlap between PPINs, SDDIs and known complexes, all well below 10%. We evaluate the overlap of PPI-SDDI-PPI triangles with …

Catena-Poly[[(Pyridine-Κn)Copper(Ii)]-Μ3-Pyridine-2,6-Dicarboxylato-Κ3o2:O2′,N,O6:O6′], Manoj Trivedi, Daya Shankar Pandey, Nigam P. Rath Mar 2009

Catena-Poly[[(Pyridine-Κn)Copper(Ii)]-Μ3-Pyridine-2,6-Dicarboxylato-Κ3o2:O2′,N,O6:O6′], Manoj Trivedi, Daya Shankar Pandey, Nigam P. Rath

In the title compound, [Cu(C7H3NO4)(C5H5N)]n, the CuII atom is in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. Each CuII atom is bound to two N atoms and one O atom of the pyridine­dicarboxyl­ate (PDA) ligand in a tridentate manner, one N atom of the pyridine mol­ecule and two bridging carboxyl­ate O atoms of adjacent PDA ligands, leading to a linear one-dimensional chain running along the c axis. These chains are further assembled via weak C-H...O and [pi]-[pi] inter­actions into a three-dimensional supra­molecular network structure. The centroid-centroid distance between the [pi]-[pi] inter­acting pyridine rings is 3.9104 (13) Å. The two N atoms …
