Systems and synthetic microRNA biology: from biogenesis to disease pathogenesis

H Matsuyama, HI Suzuki - International journal of molecular sciences, 2019 - mdpi.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are approximately 22-nucleotide-long, small non-coding RNAs that
post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. The biogenesis of miRNAs involves multiple …

[HTML][HTML] Argonaute proteins: Structural features, functions and emerging roles

J Yang, WC Cho, Y Zheng - Journal of Advanced Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Argonaute proteins are highly conserved in almost all organisms. They not only involve in
the biogenesis of small regulatory RNAs, but also regulate gene expression and defend …

KRAS-MEK signaling controls Ago2 sorting into exosomes

AJ McKenzie, D Hoshino, NH Hong, DJ Cha… - Cell reports, 2016 - cell.com
Secretion of RNAs in extracellular vesicles is a newly recognized form of intercellular

The functional proximal proteome of oncogenic Ras includes mTORC2

JR Kovalski, A Bhaduri, AM Zehnder, PH Neela, Y Che… - Molecular cell, 2019 - cell.com
Proximity-dependent biotin labeling (BioID) may identify new targets for cancers driven by
difficult-to-drug oncogenes such as Ras. Therefore, BioID was used with wild-type (WT) and …

The Q61H mutation decouples KRAS from upstream regulation and renders cancer cells resistant to SHP2 inhibitors

T Gebregiworgis, Y Kano, J St-Germain… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Cancer cells bearing distinct KRAS mutations exhibit variable sensitivity to SHP2 inhibitors
(SHP2i). Here we show that cells harboring KRAS Q61H are uniquely resistant to SHP2i …

Regulation of microRNA (miRNA) localization and stability is critical for their extensive
cytoplasmic RNA silencing activity and emerging nuclear functions. Here, we have …

Overexpression of wild-type IL-7Rα promotes T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

A Silva, ARM Almeida, A Cachucho… - Blood, The Journal …, 2021 - ashpublications.org
Tight regulation of IL-7Rα expression is essential for normal T-cell development. IL-7Rα gain-
of-function mutations are known drivers of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) …

Interrogating the protein interactomes of RAS isoforms identifies PIP5K1A as a KRAS-specific vulnerability

H Adhikari, CM Counter - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
In human cancers, oncogenic mutations commonly occur in the RAS genes KRAS, NRAS, or
HRAS, but there are no clinical RAS inhibitors. Mutations are more prevalent in KRAS …
