Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.8K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Enzyme-linked Receptors01:00

Enzyme-linked Receptors

81.5K
Enzyme-linked receptors are proteins that act as both receptor and enzyme, activating multiple intracellular signals. This is a large group of receptors that include the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Many growth factors and hormones bind to and activate the RTKs.
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...

Structure and Function of Leukocytes01:21

Structure and Function of Leukocytes

3.0K
An adult in good health typically has between 4,500 and 11,000 leukocytes, or white blood cells, per microliter of blood, which constitutes about 1% of the total blood volume. Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells contain a nucleus and other cellular organelles but do not have hemoglobin. Most white blood cells reside in connective tissues, particularly in lymphatic organs such as the lymph nodes, with only a small fraction present in circulating blood.
White blood cells protect the body...

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues01:18

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

2.1K
Lymphoid cells and tissues are integral to the immune system, which is crucial in maintaining our body's defense against harmful pathogens. They form the building blocks of lymphoid organs, which include the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

General Transcription Factors01:30

General Transcription Factors

6.1K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

Structure and Function of Platelets01:18

Structure and Function of Platelets

2.3K
The cell fragments known as platelets are disc-shaped, with an average diameter of about 3 μm and a thickness of roughly 1 μm. They play a crucial role in the body's vascular clotting system, which also involves plasma proteins, blood cells, and blood vessel tissues.
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular biology
  • Oncology
  • Protein biochemistry

Background:

  • The Tribbles protein family (TRIB1, TRIB2, TRIB3, STK40) has distinct roles in cellular processes.
  • TRIB1 is structurally well-characterized and implicated in various cancers, notably acute myeloid leukemia.
  • TRIB1 regulates key pathways like C/EBP transcription factors and kinase signaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the structural and functional roles of TRIB1 in cancer.

  • To assess the potential of Tribbles proteins as therapeutic targets or biomarkers.

Main Methods:

  • Structure-function studies of TRIB1.
  • Analysis of TRIB1's interaction with C/EBPα.
  • Examination of TRIB1's role in various cancer types and signaling pathways.

Main Results:

  • TRIB1 undergoes conformational switching upon binding to C/EBPα, modulating its activity.
  • The active site of TRIB1 is accessible to small-molecule inhibitors, despite lacking ATP-binding ability.
  • TRIB1 influences cancer development and chemoresistance across leukemia, glioma, breast, lung, and prostate cancers.
