Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation Improves Glucose Homeostasis through IKKβ-XBP1s Interaction

TL;DR: It is shown here, contrary to expectation, that IKK β-mediated inflammation is a positive regulator of hepatic glucose homeostasis and a beneficial role of IKKβ-mediated hepatic inflammation in glucoseHomeostasis is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The yeast and mammalian Ras pathways control transcription of heat shock genes independently of heat shock transcription factor

TL;DR: In mammals, as in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Ras pathway controls the transcription of heat shock genes via a mechanism not involving the heat shock transcription factor.
Journal Article

Jun and v-jun contain multiple regions that participate in transcriptional activation in an interdependent manner.

TL;DR: It is shown that both the cellular Jun and its viral counterpart, v-Jun, are efficient transcriptional activators even in the absence of Fos, and once given the ability to bind DNA on its own, Fos is also an independent trans-activator.
Journal ArticleDOI

B-cell activating factor and v-Myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (c-Myc) influence progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: This study reveals an important relationship between BAFF and c-MYC in CLL which may affect disease development and progression, and suggests that inhibitors of the canonical NF-κB pathway may be effective in treatment of patients with this disease.
