A SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map reveals targets for drug repurposing.

David E. Gordon, +128 more
- 30 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: A human–SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map highlights cellular processes that are hijacked by the virus and that can be targeted by existing drugs, including inhibitors of mRNA translation and predicted regulators of the sigma receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active-site inhibitors of mTOR target rapamycin-resistant outputs of mTORC1 and mTORC2.

TL;DR: This work uses two novel and specific mTOR kinase domain inhibitors (PP242 and PP30) to show that pharmacological inhibition of mTOR blocks the phosphorylation of Akt at S473 and prevents its full activation, and shows that the TORKinib PP242 is a more effective mTORC1 inhibitor than rapamycin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does the ribosome translate cancer

TL;DR: Although many studies have correlated deregulation of protein biosynthesis with cancer, it remains to be established whether this translates directly into an increase in cancer susceptibility, and under what circumstances.
