Studies of proteins from one organism in another organism's cells have shown that such exogenous proteins stick more, pointing toward coevolution of the cytoplasm and protein surface to minimize stickiness. Here we flip this question around by asking whether exogenous proteins can assemble efficiently into their target complexes in a non-native cytoplasm. We use as our model system the assembly of BtubA and BtubB from hosted in human U-2 OS cells.

The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib have drastically improved the life expectancies of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). While survival outcomes are comparable across first-line TKIs, each TKI has a unique toxicity profile that should be considered before starting or managing any treatment. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of TKIs are particularly important in CML-CP, as the majority of patients remain on treatment for several years or for life.
