Publications
Ras oncogenes: split personalitiesAntoine E Karnoub
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 9:517-31. 2008....
Mesenchymal stem cells within tumour stroma promote breast cancer metastasisAntoine E Karnoub
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 449:557-63. 2007..Collectively, these data demonstrate that the tumour microenvironment facilitates metastatic spread by eliciting reversible changes in the phenotype of cancer cells...
Transformation of different human breast epithelial cell types leads to distinct tumor phenotypesTan A Ince
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cancer Cell 12:160-70. 2007..Hence, the pre-existing differences between BPECs and HMECs strongly influence the phenotypes of their transformed derivatives...
Distinct requirements for Ras oncogenesis in human versus mouse cellsNesrin M Hamad
Department of Pharmacology, Division of Neurology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham North Carolina 27710, USA
Genes Dev 16:2045-57. 2002..Thus, oncogenic Ras may transform murine and human cells by distinct mechanisms, and the RalGEF pathway--previously deemed to play a secondary role in Ras transformation--could represent a new target for anti-cancer therapy...
Vav transformation requires activation of multiple GTPases and regulation of gene expressionTodd R Palmby
Department of Pharmacology, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CB 7295, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7295, USA
Mol Cancer Res 2:702-11. 2004....
Auto-inhibition of the Dbl family protein Tim by an N-terminal helical motifMarielle E Yohe
Department of Pharmacology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 7295, USA
J Biol Chem 282:13813-23. 2007..Furthermore, substitutions within the most highly conserved surface of the DH domain designed to disrupt interactions with the auto-inhibitory helix also activate the exchange process...
Rac1b, a tumor associated, constitutively active Rac1 splice variant, promotes cellular transformationAnurag Singh
Department of Pharmacology, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA
Oncogene 23:9369-80. 2004..However, Rac1b did promote activation of the AKT serine/threonine kinase. Therefore, we suggest that Rac1b selectively activates a subset of Rac1 downstream signaling pathways to facilitate cellular transformation...
Molecular basis for Rho GTPase signaling specificityAntoine E Karnoub
Department of Pharmacology, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7295, USA
Breast Cancer Res Treat 84:61-71. 2004..In this review, we highlight issues relating to the structural basis by which Dbl family GEFs facilitate signaling convergence and Rho GTPase activation, and how Rho GTPases promote signal dissemination through downstream effectors...
Role of the pleckstrin homology domain in intersectin-L Dbl homology domain activation of Cdc42 and signalingWendy M Pruitt
Department of Pharmacology and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7295, USA
Biochim Biophys Acta 1640:61-8. 2003..PH domains can interact with phosphoinositide substrates and products of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). However, PI3K activation did not modulate ITSN-L DH domain function in vivo...
RhoG signals in parallel with Rac1 and Cdc42Krister Wennerberg
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 7295, USA
J Biol Chem 277:47810-7. 2002..Together, these data argue that RhoG function is mediated by signals independent of Rac1 and Cdc42 activation and instead by direct utilization of a subset of common effectors...
Structural and biophysical insights into the role of the insert region in Rac1 functionRoopa Thapar
Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, School of Medicine, and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, USA
Biochemistry 41:3875-83. 2002....
Role of MLK3-mediated activation of p70 S6 kinase in Rac1 transformationJohn M Lambert
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Department of Pharmacology and Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 7295, USA
J Biol Chem 277:4770-7. 2002..These results suggest that MLK3 may be a negative regulator of the growth-promoting and transforming properties of Rac1...
