Abstract The c-MYC (MYC) oncoprotein is deregulated in over 50% of cancers, yet regulatory mechanisms controlling MYC remain unclear. To this end, we interrogated the interactome using BioID mass spectrometry (MS) and identified PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) its subunit PNUTS phosphatase-1 nuclear-targeting subunit) as interactors. We demonstrate that endogenous interact across multiple cell types they co-occupy target gene promoters. Inhibiting by RNAi or pharmacological inhibition results...

The activity of the transcription factor signal transducer and activator 3 (STAT3) is dysregulated in a number hematological solid malignancies. Development pharmacological STAT3 Src homology 2 (SH2) domain interaction inhibitors holds great promise for cancer therapy, novel class salicylic acid-based dimerization that includes orally bioavailable drug candidates has been recently developed. compounds SF-1-066 BP-1-102 are predicted to bind SH2 domain. However, given highly unstructured...
Evidence shows that signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5) protein, a member the STAT family signalling proteins, plays pivotal role in progression many human cancers including acute myeloid leukemias prostate cancer. This mini-review outlines progress made towards identifying agents capable silencing aberrant Stat5 signalling.
Abstract MYC activity is regulated by a complex network of signaling cascades and protein interactions, some which result in post-translation modifications (PTMs). For example, phosphorylation the regulatory threonine 58 (T58) serine 62 (S62) plays pivotal role regulating stability activity. Loss this pathway cancer can lead to dysregulation contribute tumorigenesis. Despite their important role, majority PTMs arising downstream different consequences on remain largely unknown. To capture...
Abstract The Myc family of transcription factors, c-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc, are known to be deregulated in a large variety cancers. Mechanisms responsible for the deregulation activity members cancer not well understood. A number protein-protein interactions post-translational modifications have been suggested promote oncogenic Myc. Traditional biochemical approaches successful at mapping interactors due their tight association with chromatin labile nature proteins. Mapping that support...
Abstract The oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is deregulated, and often overexpressed, in more than 50% of cancers. MYC deregulation associated with poor prognosis aggressive disease, suggesting that the development therapeutic inhibitors targeting would dramatically impact patient care outcome. a highly regulated factor, protein mRNA half-life approximately 30 min. most extensively studied pathway regulating stability involves ubiquitylation proteasomal degradation mediated by...
