The stromal compartment of the tumor microenvironment consists of a heterogeneous set of tissue-resident and tumor-infiltrating cells,which are profoundly moulded by cancer cells.An outstanding question is to what ext...
G protein-coupled receptors (GP- CRs) are ubiquitous gatekeepers of cellular response and signal predomi- nantly by recruitment and activation of G proteins. In a recent paper in Nature, Flock et aL use large-scale ...
The energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters are multi-subunit protein complexes that mediate uptake of transition-metal ions and vitamins in about 50% of the prokaryotes, including bacteria and archaea. Biological...
Histone lysine methylation can be removed by JmjC domain-containing proteins in a sequence- and methylationstate-specific manner. However, how substrate specificity is determined and how the enzymes are regulated were...
H3K9me2 and H3K27me2 are important epigenetic marks associated with transcription repression, while H3K4me3 is associated with transcription activation. It has been shown that active and repressive histone methylation...
