    Description: The gp120 envelope glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is expressed on the surface of many HIV-infected cells, binds to the cell surface molecule CD4. Soluble derivatives of recombinant CD4 (rCD4) that bind gp120 with high affinity are attractive vehicles for targeting a cytotoxic reagent to HIV-infected cells. Soluble rCD4 was conjugated to the active subunit of the toxin ricin. This conjugate killed HIV-infected H9 cells but was 1/1000 as toxic to uninfected H9 cells (which do not express gp120) and was not toxic to Daudi cells (which express major histocompatibility class II antigens, the putative natural ligand for cell surface CD4). Specific killing of infected cells can be blocked by rgp120, rCD4, or a monoclonal antibody to the gp120 binding site on CD4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Till, M A -- Ghetie, V -- Gregory, T -- Patzer, E J -- Porter, J P -- Uhr, J W -- Capon, D J -- Vitetta, E S -- CA-09082/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-28149/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-41081/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 25;242(4882):1166-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2847316" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The current model of apoptosis holds that upstream signals lead to activation of downstream effector caspases. We generated mice deficient in the two effectors, caspase 3 and caspase 7, which died immediately after birth with defects in cardiac development. Fibroblasts lacking both enzymes were highly resistant to both mitochondrial and death receptor-mediated apoptosis, displayed preservation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and had defective nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Furthermore, the early apoptotic events of Bax translocation and cytochrome c release were also delayed. We conclude that caspases 3 and 7 are critical mediators of mitochondrial events of apoptosis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3738210/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3738210/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lakhani, Saquib A -- Masud, Ali -- Kuida, Keisuke -- Porter, George A Jr -- Booth, Carmen J -- Mehal, Wajahat Z -- Inayat, Irteza -- Flavell, Richard A -- 1 K08 HD044580/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- 5 K12 HD01401/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- K08 DK002965/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K08 DK002965-04/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K12 HD00850/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NIDDK P30-34989/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Feb 10;311(5762):847-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Immunobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16469926" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Hedgehog (Hh) proteins comprise a family of secreted signaling molecules essential for patterning a variety of structures in animal embryogenesis. During biosynthesis, Hh undergoes an autocleavage reaction, mediated by its carboxyl-terminal domain, that produces a lipid-modified amino-terminal fragment responsible for all known Hh signaling activity. Here it is reported that cholesterol is the lipophilic moiety covalently attached to the amino-terminal signaling domain during autoprocessing and that the carboxyl-terminal domain acts as an intramolecular cholesterol transferase. This use of cholesterol to modify embryonic signaling proteins may account for some of the effects of perturbed cholesterol biosynthesis on animal development.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Porter, J A -- Young, K E -- Beachy, P A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Oct 11;274(5285):255-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8824192" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Extracellular signaling proteins encoded by the hedgehog (hh) multigene family are responsible for the patterning of a variety of embryonic structures in vertebrates and invertebrates. The Drosophila hh gene has now been shown to generate two predominant protein species that are derived by an internal autoproteolytic cleavage of a larger precursor. Mutations that reduced the efficiency of autoproteolysis in vitro diminished precursor cleavage in vivo and also impaired the signaling and patterning activities of the HH protein. The two HH protein species exhibited distinctive biochemical properties and tissue distribution, and these differences suggest a mechanism that could account for the long- and short-range signaling activities of HH in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, J J -- Ekker, S C -- von Kessler, D P -- Porter, J A -- Sun, B I -- Beachy, P A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1528-37.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985023" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Calmodulin is a highly conserved regulatory protein found in all eukaryotic organisms which mediates a variety of calcium ion-dependent signalling pathways. In the Drosophila retina, calmodulin was concentrated in the photoreceptor cell microvillar structure, the rhabdomere, and was found in lower amounts in the sub-rhabdomeral cytoplasm. This calmodulin localization was dependent on the NINAC (neither inactivation nor afterpotential C) unconventional myosins. Mutant flies lacking the rhabdomere-specific p174 NINAC protein did not concentrate calmodulin in the rhabdomere, whereas flies lacking the sub-rhabdomeral p132 isoform had no detectable cytoplasmic calmodulin. Furthermore, a defect in vision resulted when calmodulin was not concentrated in the rhabdomeres, suggesting a role for calmodulin in the regulation of fly phototransduction. A general function of unconventional myosins may be to control the subcellular distribution of calmodulin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Porter, J A -- Yu, M -- Doberstein, S K -- Pollard, T D -- Montell, C -- EY08117/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Nov 12;262(5136):1038-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8235618" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: 5-Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is a key enzyme in the methionine salvage pathway. The MTAP gene is frequently deleted in human cancers because of its chromosomal proximity to the tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A. By interrogating data from a large-scale short hairpin RNA-mediated screen across 390 cancer cell line models, we found that the viability of MTAP-deficient cancer cells is impaired by depletion of the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5. MTAP-deleted cells accumulate the metabolite methylthioadenosine (MTA), which we found to inhibit PRMT5 methyltransferase activity. Deletion of MTAP in MTAP-proficient cells rendered them sensitive to PRMT5 depletion. Conversely, reconstitution of MTAP in an MTAP-deficient cell line rescued PRMT5 dependence. Thus, MTA accumulation in MTAP-deleted cancers creates a hypomorphic PRMT5 state that is selectively sensitized toward further PRMT5 inhibition. Inhibitors of PRMT5 that leverage this dysregulated metabolic state merit further investigation as a potential therapy for MTAP/CDKN2A-deleted tumors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mavrakis, Konstantinos J -- McDonald, E Robert 3rd -- Schlabach, Michael R -- Billy, Eric -- Hoffman, Gregory R -- deWeck, Antoine -- Ruddy, David A -- Venkatesan, Kavitha -- Yu, Jianjun -- McAllister, Gregg -- Stump, Mark -- deBeaumont, Rosalie -- Ho, Samuel -- Yue, Yingzi -- Liu, Yue -- Yan-Neale, Yan -- Yang, Guizhi -- Lin, Fallon -- Yin, Hong -- Gao, Hui -- Kipp, D Randal -- Zhao, Songping -- McNamara, Joshua T -- Sprague, Elizabeth R -- Zheng, Bing -- Lin, Ying -- Cho, Young Shin -- Gu, Justin -- Crawford, Kenneth -- Ciccone, David -- Vitari, Alberto C -- Lai, Albert -- Capka, Vladimir -- Hurov, Kristen -- Porter, Jeffery A -- Tallarico, John -- Mickanin, Craig -- Lees, Emma -- Pagliarini, Raymond -- Keen, Nicholas -- Schmelzle, Tobias -- Hofmann, Francesco -- Stegmeier, Frank -- Sellers, William R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Mar 11;351(6278):1208-13. doi: 10.1126/science.aad5944.
