Abstract:
We identified a 1A6/DRIM (down-regulated in metastasis) interacting protein, KIAA0649 during the yeast two-hybrid screen. The interaction between KIAA0649 and 1A6/DRIM was further confirmed by GST-pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays. KIAA0649 was originally identified from human brain tissue. However, its biological function remains unknown. In this report, we showed that KIAA0649 mRNA is widely expressed in human multiple tissues and cell lines. We have also demonstrated that KIAA0649 has oncogenic characteristics: it enhances colony formation, allows anchorage-independent growth. Moreover, KIAA0649 exogenous expression in NIH3T3 fibroblasts caused tumor development in nude mice.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
