Affinity-purified bovine brain phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) contains two major proteins of 85 and 110 kd. Amino acid sequence analysis and cDNA cloning reveals two related 85 kd proteins (p85 alpha and p85 beta), which both contain one SH3 and two SH2 regions (src homology regions). When expressed, these 85 kd proteins bind to and are substrates for tyrosine-phosphorylated receptor kinases and the polyoma virus middle-T antigen/pp60c-src complex, but lack PI3-kinase activity. However, an antiserum raised against p85 beta immunoprecipitates PI3-kinase activity. The active PI3-kinase complex containing p85 alpha or p85 beta and the 110 kd protein binds to PDGF but not EGF receptors. p85 alpha and p85 beta may mediate specific PI3-kinase interactions with a subset of tyrosine kinases.

Identification of a Compound Inhibiting Both the Enzymatic and Nonenzymatic Functions of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1.
ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci
October 2024

Article Synopsis
- Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is important for tumors to evade the immune system, acting both as an enzyme that breaks down tryptophan and as a signaling protein that supports immunosuppression in tumors.
- Researchers aimed to find a better way to inhibit IDO1 that would disrupt its enzymatic and signaling roles, leading them to discover a compound called VS-15.
- VS-15 effectively binds to the inactive form of IDO1, blocking its activity and its interaction with other proteins, which helps improve immune responses, particularly in pancreatic cancer patients, and points to new treatment possibilities in cancer immunotherapy.
Genetic architecture and socio-environmental risk factors for major depressive disorder in Nepal.

Article Synopsis
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common illness that causes difficulties in life, and scientists are studying how genetics and environment influence it.
- This study looked at 10,032 people in Nepal to understand the genetic factors related to MDD and found that both genetics and a person's life experiences matter.
- Although the genetic factors for MDD in Nepal were similar to those found in European studies, the methods used for predicting MDD based on European data did not work well for Nepalese people, suggesting more research is needed.

Cancer cells depend on specific oncogenic pathways or present a genetic alteration that leads to a particular disturbance. Still, personalized and targeted biological therapy remains challenging, with current efforts generally yielding disappointing results. Carefully assessing onco-target molecular pathways can, however, potently assist with such efforts for the selection of patient populations that would best respond to a given drug treatment.

Background: This study aims to identify metabolomic signatures in uterine fluid of women with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (IRSM) during window of implantation (WOI). Also, glucose transporters GLUT3 and GLUT4 and proteins of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in endometrial tissue are assessed.
Methods: Paired uterine fluid and endometrial biopsies were collected during WOI from women with IRSM (n = 24) and healthy women with azoospermic male partners as controls (n = 15).
