ASAP1 and ARF1 regulate myogenic differentiation in rhabdomyosarcoma by modulating TAZ activity
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Despite aggressive, multimodal therapies, the prognosis of patients with refractory or recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has not improved in four decades. Because RMS resembles skeletal muscle...

Oncogenic KRAS Mutations Confer a Unique Mechanotransduction Response to Peristalsis in Colorectal Cancer Cells
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Colorectal cancer tumors start as polyps on the inner lining of the colorectum, in which they are exposed to the mechanics of peristalsis. Our previous work leveraged a custom-built peristalsis...

#PLOSONE: Rabex-5 E3 and Rab5 GEF domains differ in their regulation of Ras, Notch, and PI3K signaling in Drosophila wing development.
journals.plos.org
Rabex-5 (also called RabGEF1), a protein originally characterized for its Rab5 GEF function, also has an A20-like E3 ubiquitin ligase domain. We and others reported that Rabex-5 E3 activity promotes...
