Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt addiction of genetically defined cancers reversed by PORCN inhibition

TL;DR: A novel potent, orally available PORCN inhibitor, ETC-1922159, that blocks the secretion and activity of all Wnts is developed that is remarkably effective in treating RSPO-translocation bearing colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of MCH2, a Novel Human MCH Receptor

TL;DR: The cloning and functional characterization of a novel second human MCH receptor is described, initially identified in a genomic survey sequence as being homologous to MCH1 receptors, which belongs to class 1 of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting of the MNK–eIF4E axis in blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia inhibits leukemia stem cell function

TL;DR: This work shows that the MAP kinase interacting serine/threonine kinase (MNK)-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) axis is overexpressed in BC GMPs but not normal HSCs, and suggests that pharmacologic inhibition of the MNK kinases may be therapeutically useful in BC chronic myeloid leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

High level expression and characterisation of Plasmepsin II, an aspartic proteinase from Plasmodium falciparum

TL;DR: DNA encoding the last 48 residues of the propart and the whole mature sequence of Plasmepsin II was inserted into the T7 dependent vector pET 3a and the ability of this enzyme to hydrolyse several chromogenic peptide substrates was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning and characterization of two novel retinoic acid-inducible orphan G-protein-coupled receptors (GPRC5B and GPRC5C).

TL;DR: Analysis of novel protein sequences identified containing seven putative transmembrane domains characteristic of G-protein-coupled receptors places them within the type 3 GPCR family, which includes metabotropic glutamate receptors, GABA(B) receptors, calcium-sensing receptors, and pheromone receptors.
