Ovarian serous carcinoma (OSC) is the most common and lethal histologic type of ovarian epithelial malignancy. Mutations of TP53 and dysfunction of the Brca1 and/or Brca2 tumor-suppressor proteins have been implicated in the molecular pathogenesis of a large fraction of OSCs, but frequent somatic mutations in other well-established tumor-suppressor genes have not been identified. Using a genome-wide screen of DNA copy number alterations in 36 primary OSCs, we identified two tumors with apparent homozygous deletions of the NF1 gene.

Heat-shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is a key regulator of the expression of heat-shock proteins during the heat-shock response. The C terminus of HSF1 (CT) contains both the regulatory and transcriptional activation domains. Predictors of natural disordered regions analysis predicts and our study demonstrates that CT is predominantly natively unfolded under physiological conditions but can be induced to fold into a number of structured states under different conditions.

Ovarian cancer is a morphologically and biologically heterogeneous disease. The identification of type-specific protein markers for ovarian cancer would provide the basis for more tailored treatments, as well as clues for understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cancer progression. In the present study, we used a novel approach to classify 24 ovarian cancer tissue samples based on the proteomic pattern of each sample.

Assembly and penetration of 14-strand beta-barrel of staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin (alpha-HL) is an intriguing phenomenon due to its water soluble property. alpha-HL interacts with the Caveolin-1 of A431 cells for its rapid assembly. A nine amino acid, non-hydrophobic peptide derived from alpha-HL has been shown to block the interaction of alpha-HL with the scaffolding domain of Caveolin-1.

In the presence of assembled alpha-hemolysin (alpha-HL) of Staphylococcus aureus, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) is rapidly dephosphorylated. Several obvious possibilities that otherwise would have contributed to the dephosphorylation were ruled out. Instead, an elevation in the activity of a protein tyrosine phosphatase appears to be responsible for the observed loss of phosphorylation signal of EGFr.
