THE DEUBIQUITINATING ENZYME OTUD1 ANTAGONIZES BH3-MIMETIC INHIBITOR INDUCED CELL DEATH THROUGH REGULATING THE STABILITY OF THE MCL1 PROTEIN

The deubiquitinating enzyme OTUD1 antagonizes BH3-mimetic inhibitor induced cell death through regulating the stability of the MCL1 protein

Abstract Background Myeloid cell leukaemia 1 (MCL1) is a pro-survival Bcl-2 family Ceramic Ornament Gift Box protein that plays important roles in cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and tumourigenesis.MCL1 is a fast-turnover protein that is degraded via an ubiquitination/proteasome-dependent mechanism.Although several E3 ligases have bee

De novo donor-specific HLA antibody development after kidney transplantation is impacted by PIRCHE II score and recipient age

BackgroundAntibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major cause of graft loss in kidney transplantation, often associated with de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA).The detection of clinically relevant dnDSA relies on evaluating reactivity in single antigen bead (SAB) assays.Immunogenetic mismatches between donor and recipient, particularly invol

Aegicetus gehennae, a new late Eocene protocetid (Cetacea, Archaeoceti) from Wadi Al Hitan, Egypt, and the transition to tail-powered swimming in whales.

Aegicetus gehennae is a new African protocetid whale based on a partial skull with much of an associated postcranial skeleton.The type specimen, Egyptian Geological Museum, Cairo [CGM] 60584, was found near the base of the early-Priabonian-age (earliest late Eocene) Gehannam Formation of the Wadi Al Hitan World Heritage Site in Egypt.The cranium is
