Programmed Translational Readthrough Generates Antiangiogenic VEGF-Ax

TL;DR: It is shown that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) mRNA in mammalian endothelial cells undergoes programmed translational readthrough (PTR) generating VEGF-Ax, an isoform containing a unique 22-amino-acid C terminus extension, revealing a novel protein-regulated PTR event in a vertebrate system.

Repression of BET activity sensitizes homologous recombination-proficient cancers to PARP inhibition.

TL;DR: The authors found that BET inhibitors suppress homologous recombination, inducing the functional defect that sensitizes tumors to PARP inhibitors, and found that inhibition or depletion of BET proteins impairs transcription of BRCA1 and RAD51, two genes essential for HR.
