Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of protein kinase B beta and gamma isoforms by insulin in vivo and by 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 in vitro: comparison with protein kinase B alpha.

TL;DR: PKBgamma which had been activated by PDK1 possessed a substrate specificity identical with that of PKBalpha and PKBbeta towards a range of peptides, and was the major isoform activated by insulin in rat L6 myotubes (a skeletal-muscle cell line).
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and synthesis of novel lactate dehydrogenase A inhibitors by fragment-based lead generation.

TL;DR: Progress using fragment-based lead generation (FBLG), assisted by X-ray crystallography to develop small molecule LDHA inhibitors, which were identified through NMR and SPR screening and optimized into lead compounds with nanomolar binding affinities via fragment linking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting KRAS-dependent tumors with AZD4785, a high-affinity therapeutic antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of KRAS.

TL;DR: The safety of this approach was demonstrated in mice and monkeys with KRAS ASOs that produced robust target knockdown in a broad set of tissues without any adverse effects, and data suggest that AZD4785 is an attractive therapeutic for the treatment of KRAS-driven human cancers and warrants further development.
Journal ArticleDOI

LCR/MEL: a versatile system for high-level expression of heterologous proteins in erythroid cells.

TL;DR: The utility of the LCR/MEL cell system is demonstrated by the expression of growth hormone at high levels (greater than 100 mg/l) 7 days after induction, and it is possible to obtain clones with stable high-level expression within 3-4 weeks after transfection.
