T cell-engaging immunotherapies are changing the landscape of current cancer care. However, suitable target antigens scarce, restricting these strategies to very few tumor types. Here, we report on a antibody derivative that comes in two complementary halves and addresses antigen combinations instead single molecules. Each half, now coined hemibody, contains an antigen-specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused either light (VL) or heavy (VH) chain domain anti-CD3 antibody. When...
SREBP2 is a master regulator of the mevalonate pathway (MVP), biosynthetic process that drives synthesis dolichol, heme A, ubiquinone and cholesterol also provides substrates for protein prenylation. Here, we identify as novel substrate USP28, deubiquitinating enzyme frequently upregulated in squamous cancers. Our results show silencing USP28 reduces expression MVP enzymes lowers metabolic flux into this pathway. We binds to mature SREBP2, leading its deubiquitination stabilisation....
Abstract In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), endogenous MYC is required for S-phase progression and escape from immune surveillance. Here we show that in PDAC cells needed the recruitment of PAF1c transcription elongation complex to RNA polymerase depletion CTR9, a subunit, enables long-term survival PDAC-bearing mice. largely dispensable normal proliferation regulation target genes. Instead, limits DNA damage associated with by being essential expression long genes involved...
Abstract Deregulated expression of the MYC oncoprotein enables tumor cells to evade immune surveillance, but mechanisms underlying this surveillance are poorly understood. We show here that endogenous protects pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) driven by KRASG12D and TP53R172H from eradication system. Deletion TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) bypassed requirement for high expression. TBK1 was active due accumulation double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which derived inverted repetitive elements...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains a major challenge in cancer medicine. Given the increase incidence and mortality, interdisciplinary research is necessary to translate basic knowledge into therapeutic strategies improving outcome of patients. On 4
In response to perturbed transcription elongation, the MYC oncoprotein multimerizes and undergoes a phase transition; underlying mechanisms their function are unknown. Here, we show that re-localizes from its canonical location on DNA RNA in accumulation of intronic RNA. binds directly, which enhances multimerization. multimers concentrate nuclear exosome, 3'-5' exonuclease, targeting complexes around double-stranded R-loops, promote exosome recruitment R-loops. binding suppresses activation...
