The transforming protein of Kirsten murine sarcoma virus (Ki-MuSV) is a virally encoded 21-kilodalton protein called p21 kis. The sequences encoding p21 kis were genetically localized to a 1.3-kilobase segment near the 5' end of the viral genome by assaying the capacity of a series of defined deletion mutants of molecularly cloned Ki-MuSV DNA to induce focal transformation of mouse cells. Nucleotide sequencing of a portion of this region has led to the identification of an open reading frame of 567 nucleotides coding for p21 kis protein.

Transamination of Sn(NMe) with HNMes (Mes is 2,4,6-tri-methyl-phenyl, CH) led to the formation of the title compound, [Sn(CHN)] or Sn(NHMes), which crystallizes in the tetra-gonal space group 2 , with four formula units per unit cell. The mol-ecular structure consists of a central tin(IV) atom, which is surrounded by four NHMes groups. Sn(NHMes) possesses crystallographically imposed symmetry.

Phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) 4 inhibits its ability to induce a glycolytic shift. PDK4 expression is frequently upregulated in various cancer tissues, with its elevation being critical for the induction of the Warburg effect. PDK4 is an attractive target for cancer therapy given its effect on shifting glucose metabolism.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses challenges in enrolling multiple myeloma patients in clinical trials due to the need for invasive bone-marrow aspirates for genomic profiling.
  • Researchers developed a Liquid Biopsy Sequencing (LB-Seq) method to analyze cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood samples, achieving high sensitivity in detecting tumors.
  • Findings show that LB-Seq can accurately identify most somatic mutations found in bone marrow samples, with high concordance and the ability to discover additional mutations, making it a valuable alternative to traditional methods.

Tumor protein 53-induced nuclear protein-1 (TP53inp1) is expressed by activation via p53 and p73. The purpose of our study was to investigate the role of TP53inp1 in response of fibroblasts to ionizing radiation. γ-Ray radiation dose-dependently induces the expression of TP53inp1 in human immortalized fibroblast (F11hT) cells.
