RASSF1A elicits apoptosis through an MST2 pathway directing proapoptotic transcription by the p73 tumor suppressor protein.

TL;DR: In this paper, an MST2-dependent effector pathway for RASSF1A proapoptotic signaling was proposed, where the Raf1 proto-oncogene binds to MST 2 to prevent its activation.

RASSF1A elicits apoptosis through an MST2 pathway directing proapoptotic transcription by the p73 tumor suppressor protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that key steps in RASSF1A-induced apoptosis are the disruption of the inhibitory Raf1-MST2 complex by RASSf1A and the concomitant enhancement of MST2 interaction with its substrate, LATS1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raf Family Kinases: Old Dogs Have Learned New Tricks

TL;DR: The regulation of Raf proteins and their role in cancer are discussed, with special focus on the interacting proteins that modulate Raf signaling, and new kinase-independent roles for Raf proteins have emerged.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b Associate with Enhancers to Regulate Human Epidermal Stem Cell Homeostasis

TL;DR: It is shown that in human epidermal stem cells, the two proteins bind in a histone H3K36me3-dependent manner to the most active enhancers and are required to produce their associated enhancer RNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein interaction switches coordinate Raf-1 and MST2/Hippo signalling.

TL;DR: It is shown that competing protein interactions can cause steep signalling switches through phosphorylation-induced changes in binding affinities, which provides a versatile regulatory mechanism for signal distribution through the dynamic integration of graded signals into switch-like responses.
