Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of TIFA as an adapter protein that links tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK-1) in IL-1 receptor signaling.

TL;DR: Analysis of endogenous proteins indicates that TIFA associates with TRAF6 constitutively, whereas it associates with IRAK-1 in an IL-1 stimulation-dependent manner in vivo, Thus, TIFA is likely to mediate IRAk-1/TRAF6 interaction upon IL- 1 stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vpx Is Critical for Reverse Transcription of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Genome in Macrophages

TL;DR: It is clearly demonstrated that the entire Vpx protein is critical for reverse transcription of the HIV-2 genome in human MDMs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and synthesis of novel quinoline/chalcone/1,2,4-triazole hybrids as potent antiproliferative agent targeting EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases.

TL;DR: New quinoline / chalcone hybrids containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety have been designed, synthesized and their structures elucidated and confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques.
