Journal ArticleDOI

MAP kinase-interacting kinase 1 regulates SMAD2-dependent TGF-β signaling pathway in human glioblastoma

TL;DR: Findings offer insights into how MNK1 pathways control translation of cancer-related mRNAs including SMAD2, a key component of the TGF-β signaling pathway, and suggestMNK1-controlled translational pathways in targeted strategies to more effectively treat GBM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mer receptor tyrosine kinase promotes invasion and survival in glioblastoma multiforme

TL;DR: The show that the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer (MerTK) is overexpressed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and that this is accompanied with increased invasive potential suggests that MerTK is a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of the malignant gliomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

MNK1 pathway activity maintains protein synthesis in rapalog-treated gliomas

TL;DR: Combined MNK1 and mTORC1 inhibition profoundly inhibited 4EBP1 phosphorylation at Ser65, protein synthesis and proliferation in glioma cells, and reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic glioblastoma (GBM) mouse model, indicating a molecular cross-talk between the m TORC1 andMNK1 pathways that has potential to be exploited therapeutically.
Journal ArticleDOI

The platelet receptor CLEC-2 is active as a dimer

TL;DR: CLEC-2 exists as a non-disulfide-linked homodimer which could allow each Syk molecule to interact with two YXXL motifs, one from each CLEC- 2 monomer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A functional chimaeric S-layer-enhanced green fluorescent protein to follow the uptake of S-layer-coated liposomes into eukaryotic cells.

TL;DR: The chimaeric gene encoding a C-terminally truncated form of the S-layer protein SbpA of Bacillus sphaericus and the EGFP was ligated into plasmid pET28a and cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, showing the ability to self-assemble in suspension and to recrystallize on peptidoglycan-containing sacculi or on positively charged liposomes, as well as to fluoresce.
