The p53 gene product has been implicated in both human and animal tumorigenesis. p53 complexes with the transforming proteins encoded by several different DNA tumour viruses. We demonstrate that human p53 is phosphorylated by the mammalian p34cdc2 kinase in vitro and coprecipitates with p34cdc2 in vivo. Our observations suggest that phosphorylation of p53 by p34cdc2 kinase may regulate the known activities of p53 in the initiation steps of DNA replication in mammalian cells.

·Role of Cathepsin K in Bone Invasion of Pituitary Adenomas: A Dual Mechanism Involving Cell Proliferation and Osteoclastogenesis.
Cancer Lett
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China 100853. Electronic address:
This study aimed to investigate the regulation and underlying mechanism of Cathepsin K (CTSK) in bone-invasive pituitary adenomas (BIPAs). A total of 1437 patients with pituitary adenomas were included and followed up. RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and qRT-PCR were used to analyze CTSK expression.

Baculoviral transduction of mammalian cells (BacMam) offers cost-effective and robust gene transfer and straightforward scalability. The advantages over conventional approaches are, no need of high biosafety level laboratories, efficient transduction of various cell types and transfer of large transgenes into host cells.

Migration is an essential characteristic of cells that occurs during many physiological and pathological processes. Astrocytes represent the most abundant cell type in the adult central nervous system (CNS), that play a crucial role in various functions such as guiding and supporting neuronal migration during development and maintaining brain homeostasis at adulthood. Astrocytes specifically synthesize and release endozepines, a family of regulatory peptides, including the octadecaneuropeptide (ODN).

Tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs), comprising the greatest subfamily of E3 ubiquitin ligases with approximately 80 members of this family, are widely distributed in mammalian cells. TRIMs actively participate in ubiquitination of target proteins, a type of post-translational modification associated with protein degradation and other functions. Tripartite motif-containing protein 29 (TRIM29), a member of the TRIM family, differs from other members of this family in that it lacks the RING finger structural domain containing cysteine and histidine residues that mediates DNA binding, protein-protein interactions, and ubiquitin ligase, at its N-terminus.

With praziquantel being the sole available drug for schistosomiasis, identifying novel anthelmintic agents is imperative. A chemical investigation of the fruiting body of the bioluminescent mushroom Berk. resulted in the isolation of new conjugated long-chain fatty acids (8,10,12,13)-12,13-dihydroxy-7-oxo-octadeca-8,10-dienoic acid () and (7,8,9,11)-7,8-dihydroxy-13-oxo-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid () and three previously described compounds, (7,8,9)-7,8-dihydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid (), (2)-dec-2-ene-1,10-dioic acid (), and a ketolactone marasmeno-1,15-dione ().
