The inhibition of EPAC1, a cAMP-binding protein, appears as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity without interfering with its antitumoral activity.
The initiation of DNA damage checkpoint recovery involves ATM-mediated E3 ubiquitin ligase E6AP phosphorylation which disrupts E6AP-MASTL association and leads to MASTL protein accumulation and cell cycle resumption.
Rtf2 is shown to associate with multiple splicing factors and influence splicing of a subset of introns explaining why previous work erroneously assigned it as a replication restart factor in fission yeast.
Ifrd1 and Ifrd2 were identified using knockout mice as new molecular players regulating via two discrete mechanisms the activity of the transcriptional regulator Dlk1 and thereby affecting adipocyte differentiation.
