Journal ArticleDOI
Abraxas and RAP80 Form a BRCA1 Protein Complex Required for the DNA Damage Response
Bin Wang,Shuhei Matsuoka,Bryan A. Ballif,Bryan A. Ballif,Dong Zhang,Agata Smogorzewska,Steven P. Gygi,Stephen J. Elledge +7 more
TL;DR: Phosphopeptide affinity proteomic analysis identified a protein, Abraxas, that directly binds the BRCA1 BRCT repeats through a phospho-Ser-X- X-Phe motif, forming a third type of B RCA1 complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ubiquitin-specific protease USP28 is required for MYC stability
Nikita Popov,Michael Wanzel,Mandy Madiredjo,Dong Zhang,Roderick L. Beijersbergen,René Bernards,Roland Moll,Stephen J. Elledge,Martin Eilers +8 more
TL;DR: The MYC proto-oncogene encodes a transcription factor that has been implicated in the genesis of many human tumours and one of these genes encodes USP28, an ubiquitin-specific protease required for MYC stability in human tumour cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Role for the Deubiquitinating Enzyme USP28 in Control of the DNA-Damage Response
TL;DR: It is shown that USP28 is required to stabilize Chk2 and 53BP1 in response to DNA damage, and these studies implicate DNA-damage-induced ubiquitination and deubiquitination as a major regulator of theDNA-damage response for Chk 2, 53BP 1, and a number of other proteins in the DNA- damage checkpoint pathway, including several mediators, such as Mdc1, Claspin, and TopBP1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of eight proteins that cross-link to pre-mRNA in the yeast commitment complex
Dong Zhang,Michael Rosbash +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the 5' splice site region and environs are dense with protein contacts in the commitment complex and suggest that some of them make important contributions to formation or stability of the U1 snRNP-pre-mRNA complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabidiol (CBD) as a Promising Anti-Cancer Drug
TL;DR: The most recent findings that strongly support the further development of CBD as a promising anti-cancer drug are discussed.
