TL;DR: Analyses of samples from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia reveal that drug response is associated with mutational status and gene expression; the generated dataset provides a basis for future clinical and functional studies of this disease.
Abstract: The implementation of targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has been challenging because of the complex mutational patterns within and across patients as well as a dearth of pharmacologic agents for most mutational events. Here we report initial findings from the Beat AML programme on a cohort of 672 tumour specimens collected from 562 patients. We assessed these specimens using whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing and analyses of ex vivo drug sensitivity. Our data reveal mutational events that have not previously been detected in AML. We show that the response to drugs is associated with mutational status, including instances of drug sensitivity that are specific to combinatorial mutational events. Integration with RNA sequencing also revealed gene expression signatures, which predict a role for specific gene networks in the drug response. Collectively, we have generated a dataset—accessible through the Beat AML data viewer (Vizome)—that can be leveraged to address clinical, genomic, transcriptomic and functional analyses of the biology of AML. Analyses of samples from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia reveal that drug response is associated with mutational status and gene expression; the generated dataset provides a basis for future clinical and functional studies of this disease.

TL;DR: Localization to this microdomain is likely to optimize eNOS activation and the extracellular release of nitric oxide and that both myristoylation and palmitoylation are required to target the enzyme to caveolae and that each acylation process enhances targeting by 10-fold.

TL;DR: Data are consistent with a model in which PCSK9 binding to EGF-A interferes with an acid-dependent conformational change required for receptor recycling, and the LDLR is rerouted from the endosome to the lysosome where it is degraded.

TL;DR: Biophysical studies suggest that mechanical forces control the opening and closing of transduction channels by acting through elastic components in each hair cell's mechanoreceptive hair bundle.
Abstract: The senses of hearing and equilibrium depend on sensory receptors called hair cells which can detect motions of atomic dimensions and respond more than 100,000 times a second. Biophysical studies suggest that mechanical forces control the opening and closing of transduction channels by acting through elastic components in each hair cell's mechanoreceptive hair bundle. Other ion channels, as well as the mechanical and hydrodynamic properties of hair bundles, tune individual hair cells to particular frequencies of stimulation.

TL;DR: A reiterative selection procedure is used to identify new specific binding sites for p53, using nuclear extracts from normal human fibroblasts as the source of p53 protein, and the preferred consensus is the palindrome GGACATGCCCGGGCATGTCC.
Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated transcriptional activation domains within the tumor suppressor protein p53, while others have described specific DNA-binding sites for p53, implying that the protein may act as a transcriptional regulatory factor. We have used a reiterative selection procedure (CASTing: cyclic amplification and selection of targets) to identify new specific binding sites for p53, using nuclear extracts from normal human fibroblasts as the source of p53 protein. The preferred consensus is the palindrome GGACATGCCCGGGCATGTCC. In vitro-translated p53 binds to this sequence only when mixed with nuclear extracts, suggesting that p53 may bind DNA after posttranslational modification or as a complex with other protein partners. When placed upstream of a reporter construct, this sequence promotes p53-dependent transcription in transient transfection assays.
