Over-expression by degradation rescue of RTKs via cancer-secreted autocrine growth factors: a Phospho-degron-driven actionable layer of post-translational regulation?

The relationship between receptors tyrosine kinases (RTKs) overexpression in cancer by growth-factors signaling and Degron domains has been addressed in the peer-reviewed article entitled: “Over-expression by degradation rescue of RTKs via cancer-secreted autocrine growth factors: a Phospho-degron-driven actionable layer of post-translational regulation?” In this peer-reviewed perspective article authored by the…

Experimental method developed by our team published on Bioprotocol

Streamlining the study of novel cellular proteins and their specific interacting protein partners is a key goal of basic life sciences. This was accomplished for a poorly known variant of an oncogenic protein sub-domain referred as Degron and responsible for the rapid protein clearance upon flagging mediated via a process…

Human IGF-II epigenetic and transcriptional regulation unfolded on a special “Biomedicines” journal issue

Regulation of the insulin-like growth factor 2 gene is central to the mechanisms used by cancer cells to sustain their proliferative and aggressive behavior. A new peer-reviewed article gives us an updated view of the underlying molecular mechanisms in a special issue of Biomedicines which we contributed as ISOPROG-Somatolink research…
