The positive feedback loop FOXO3/CASC11/miR-498 promotes the tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer.

An increasing number of studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, there are still numerous undiscovered mechanisms underlying this molecular regulation. Here, the results illustrated that CASC11 is overexpressed in NSCLC tumor tissues and cell lines, which is closely related to the clinical features of NSCLC and poor survival.

Association between cancer concealment and the survival of the patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma.

To explore the relationship between cancer awareness and the survival of the patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).
 Methods: A total of 865 NSCLC patients were screened for the risk factors, including age, gender, address, tumor/lymph nodes/metastasis (TNM) stage, and cancer awareness. Survival of the patients was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis.

Structural basis of neutralization by a human anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome spike protein antibody, 80R.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a newly emerged infectious disease that caused pandemic spread in 2003. The etiological agent of SARS is a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The coronaviral surface spike protein S is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates initial host binding via the cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), as well as the subsequent membrane fusion events required for cell entry.

The regions of securin and cyclin B proteins recognized by the ubiquitination machinery are natively unfolded.

The proteins securin and cyclin B are destroyed in mitosis by the ubiquitin/proteasome system. This destruction is important to mitotic progression. The N-terminal regions of these proteins contain the sequence features recognized by the ubiquitination system.

Structural and functional analysis of the human mitotic-specific ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, UbcH10.

Cell cycle progression is controlled at several different junctures by the targeted destruction of cell cycle regulatory proteins. These carefully orchestrated events include the destruction of the securin protein to permit entry into anaphase, and the destruction of cyclin B to permit exit from mitosis. These destruction events are mediated by the ubiquitin/proteasome system.
