TLDR
The human paracaspase prodomain binds Bcl10, a protein involved in the t(1;14)(p22;q32) translocation of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and it is found that this fusion activates NF-kappaB and that the caspase domain is required for this function, since mutation of the conserved catalytic cysteine attenuates NF- kappaB activation.

The sequence of the human genome.

J. Craig Venter, +272 more
- 16 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: Comparative genomic analysis indicates vertebrate expansions of genes associated with neuronal function, with tissue-specific developmental regulation, and with the hemostasis and immune systems are indicated.

Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: This is the first complete genome sequence of a plant and provides the foundations for more comprehensive comparison of conserved processes in all eukaryotes, identifying a wide range of plant-specific gene functions and establishing rapid systematic ways to identify genes for crop improvement.

Missing Pieces in the NF-κB Puzzle

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent progress as well as unanswered questions regarding the regulation and function of NF-kappaB and IKK is presented, focusing on recent progress and unanswered questions.

IAP proteins: blocking the road to death's door

TL;DR: The functional and structural properties of the IAP gene family, a group of structurally related proteins that, in addition to their ability to suppress apoptotic cell death, are involved in an increasing number of seemingly unrelated cellular functions, are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-κB and the link between inflammation and cancer.

TL;DR: In all malignancies, NF‐κB acts in a cell type‐specific manner: activating survival genes within cancer cells and inflammation‐promoting genes in components of the tumor microenvironment, yet, the complex biological functions of NF-κB have made its therapeutic targeting a challenge.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice

TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.

Caspases: the executioners of apoptosis

TL;DR: The importance of caspase prodomains in the regulation of apoptosis is further highlighted by the recognition of adapter molecules, such as RAIDD [receptor-interacting protein (RIP)-associated ICH-1/CED-3-homologous protein with a death domain]/CRADD (caspase and RIP adapter with death domain), which binds to the prodomain of cspase-2 and recruits it to the signalling complex.

Aberrant rel/nfkb genes and activity in human cancer.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the status of the rel, nfkb and ikb genes and their activity in human tumors and their association with the onset or progression of malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) and their emerging role in cancer.

TL;DR: A picture consistent with an IAP role in tumour progression rather than tumour initiation is emerging making the IAPs an attractive therapeutic target.
