    C-O bond formation by polyketide synthases (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-08-24
    Description: Polyketide synthases (PKSs) assemble the polyketide carbon backbone by sequential decarboxylative condensation of acyl coenzyme A (CoA) precursors, and the C-C bond-forming step in this process is catalyzed by the beta-ketoacyl synthase (KS) domain or subunit. Genetic and biochemical characterization of the nonactin biosynthesis gene cluster from Streptomyces griseus revealed two KSs, NonJ and NonK, that are highly homologous to known KSs but catalyze sequential condensation of the acyl CoA substrates by forming C-O rather than C-C bonds. This chemistry can be used in PKS engineering to increase the scope and diversity of polyketide biosynthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kwon, Hyung-Jin -- Smith, Wyatt C -- Scharon, A Janelle -- Hwang, Sung Hee -- Kurth, Mark J -- Shen, Ben -- AI51689/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM08505/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 23;297(5585):1327-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences and, Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53705, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12193782" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Budding yeast Cdc20: a target of the spindle checkpoint (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-03-07
    Description: The spindle checkpoint regulates the cell division cycle by keeping cells with defective spindles from leaving mitosis. In the two-hybrid system, three proteins that are components of the checkpoint, Mad1, Mad2, and Mad3, were shown to interact with Cdc20, a protein required for exit from mitosis. Mad2 and Mad3 coprecipitated with Cdc20 at all stages of the cell cycle. The binding of Mad2 depended on Mad1 and that of Mad3 on Mad1 and Mad2. Overexpression of Cdc20 allowed cells with a depolymerized spindle or damaged DNA to leave mitosis but did not overcome the arrest caused by unreplicated DNA. Mutants in Cdc20 that were resistant to the spindle checkpoint no longer bound Mad proteins, suggesting that Cdc20 is the target of the spindle checkpoint.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hwang, L H -- Lau, L F -- Smith, D L -- Mistrot, C A -- Hardwick, K G -- Hwang, E S -- Amon, A -- Murray, A W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Feb 13;279(5353):1041-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143-0444, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9461437" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evidence of a pluripotent human embryonic stem cell line derived from a cloned blastocyst (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-02-14
    Description: Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technology has recently been used to generate animals with a common genetic composition. In this study, we report the derivation of a pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cell line (SCNT-hES-1) from a cloned human blastocyst. The SCNT-hES-1 cells displayed typical ES cell morphology and cell surface markers and were capable of differentiating into embryoid bodies in vitro and of forming teratomas in vivo containing cell derivatives from all three embryonic germ layers in severe combined immunodeficient mice. After continuous proliferation for more than 70 passages, SCNT-hES-1 cells maintained normal karyotypes and were genetically identical to the somatic nuclear donor cells. Although we cannot completely exclude the possibility that the cells had a parthenogenetic origin, imprinting analyses support a SCNT origin of the derived human ES cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hwang, Woo Suk -- Ryu, Young June -- Park, Jong Hyuk -- Park, Eul Soon -- Lee, Eu Gene -- Koo, Ja Min -- Jeon, Hyun Yong -- Lee, Byeong Chun -- Kang, Sung Keun -- Kim, Sun Jong -- Ahn, Curie -- Hwang, Jung Hye -- Park, Ky Young -- Cibelli, Jose B -- Moon, Shin Yong -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Mar 12;303(5664):1669-74.

    Patient-specific embryonic stem cells derived from human SCNT blastocysts (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-05-21
    Description: Patient-specific, immune-matched human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are anticipated to be of great biomedical importance for studies of disease and development and to advance clinical deliberations regarding stem cell transplantation. Eleven hESC lines were established by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) of skin cells from patients with disease or injury into donated oocytes. These lines, nuclear transfer (NT)-hESCs, grown on human feeders from the same NT donor or from genetically unrelated individuals, were established at high rates, regardless of NT donor sex or age. NT-hESCs were pluripotent, chromosomally normal, and matched the NT patient's DNA. The major histocompatibility complex identity of each NT-hESC when compared to the patient's own showed immunological compatibility, which is important for eventual transplantation. With the generation of these NT-hESCs, evaluations of genetic and epigenetic stability can be made. Additional work remains to be done regarding the development of reliable directed differentiation and the elimination of remaining animal components. Before clinical use of these cells can occur, preclinical evidence is required to prove that transplantation of differentiated NT-hESCs can be safe, effective, and tolerated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hwang, Woo Suk -- Roh, Sung Il -- Lee, Byeong Chun -- Kang, Sung Keun -- Kwon, Dae Kee -- Kim, Sue -- Kim, Sun Jong -- Park, Sun Woo -- Kwon, Hee Sun -- Lee, Chang Kyu -- Lee, Jung Bok -- Kim, Jin Mee -- Ahn, Curie -- Paek, Sun Ha -- Chang, Sang Sik -- Koo, Jung Jin -- Yoon, Hyun Soo -- Hwang, Jung Hye -- Hwang, Youn Young -- Park, Ye Soo -- Oh, Sun Kyung -- Kim, Hee Sun -- Park, Jong Hyuk -- Moon, Shin Yong -- Schatten, Gerald -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jun 17;308(5729):1777-83.

    Intravenous delivery of a multi-mechanistic cancer-targeted oncolytic poxvirus in humans (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-09-03
    Description: The efficacy and safety of biological molecules in cancer therapy, such as peptides and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), could be markedly increased if high concentrations could be achieved and amplified selectively in tumour tissues versus normal tissues after intravenous administration. This has not been achievable so far in humans. We hypothesized that a poxvirus, which evolved for blood-borne systemic spread in mammals, could be engineered for cancer-selective replication and used as a vehicle for the intravenous delivery and expression of transgenes in tumours. JX-594 is an oncolytic poxvirus engineered for replication, transgene expression and amplification in cancer cells harbouring activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/Ras pathway, followed by cell lysis and anticancer immunity. Here we show in a clinical trial that JX-594 selectively infects, replicates and expresses transgene products in cancer tissue after intravenous infusion, in a dose-related fashion. Normal tissues were not affected clinically. This platform technology opens up the possibility of multifunctional products that selectively express high concentrations of several complementary therapeutic and imaging molecules in metastatic solid tumours in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Breitbach, Caroline J -- Burke, James -- Jonker, Derek -- Stephenson, Joe -- Haas, Andrew R -- Chow, Laura Q M -- Nieva, Jorge -- Hwang, Tae-Ho -- Moon, Anne -- Patt, Richard -- Pelusio, Adina -- Le Boeuf, Fabrice -- Burns, Joe -- Evgin, Laura -- De Silva, Naomi -- Cvancic, Sara -- Robertson, Terri -- Je, Ji-Eun -- Lee, Yeon-Sook -- Parato, Kelley -- Diallo, Jean-Simon -- Fenster, Aaron -- Daneshmand, Manijeh -- Bell, John C -- Kirn, David H -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- England -- Nature. 2011 Aug 31;477(7362):99-102. doi: 10.1038/nature10358.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Jennerex Inc., 450 Sansome Street, 16th floor, San Francisco, California 94111, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21886163" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
