Identification of GPI anchor attachment signals by a Kohonen self-organizing map

TL;DR: In order to identify anchoring signals in silico, neural networks are trained on known GPI-anchored proteins, systematically optimizing input parameters, and a Kohonen self-organizing map,GPI-SOM, was developed that predicts G PI-anchoring proteins with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIF-driven SF3B1 induces KHK-C to enforce fructolysis and heart disease

TL;DR: Heart-specific depletion of SF3B1 or genetic ablation of Khk, but not Khk-A alone, in mice, suppresses pathological stress-induced fructose metabolism, growth and contractile dysfunction, thus defining signalling components and molecular underpinnings of a fructose metabolism regulatory system crucial for pathological growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

p53 suppresses type II endometrial carcinomas in mice and governs endometrial tumour aggressiveness in humans

TL;DR: It is suggested that molecular alterations in p53 and the mTORC1 pathway play different roles in the initiation of the different endometrial cancer subtypes, but that combined p53 inactivation and mTORc1 pathway activation are unifying pathogenic features among histologically diverse subtypes of late stage aggressive endometricrial tumours.

miR-28-5p Promotes Chromosomal Instability in VHL-Associated Cancers by Inhibiting Mad2 Translation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a regulatory mechanism for Mad2 expression involving miR-28-5p-mediated inhibition of Mad2 translation and demonstrate that this mechanism is triggered by inactivation of the tumor suppressor VHL, the most common event in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
