• Identification of MAPK phosphorylation sites and their role in the localization and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α 

      Mylonis, I.; Chachami, G.; Samiotaki, M.; Panayotou, G.; Paraskeva, E.; Kalousi, A.; Georgatsou, E.; Bonanou, S.; Simos, G. (2006)
      Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1α, involves several post-translational modifications. ...
    • Internal translation initiation stimulates expression of the ARF/core+1 open reading frame of HCV genotype 1b 

      Boumlic, A.; Vassilaki, N.; Dalagiorgou, G.; Kochlios, E.; Kakkanas, A.; Georgopoulou, U.; Markoulatos, P.; Orfanoudakis, G.; Mavromara, P. (2011)
      The hepatitis C virus possesses an alternative open reading frame overlapping the Core gene, whose products are referred to as Core+1 or alternative reading frame (ARF) or F protein(s). Extensive studies on genotype HCV-1 ...
    • Mutagenesis of a Lotus japonicus GSK3β/Shaggy-like kinase reveals functionally conserved regulatory residues 

      Solovou T.G.A., Garagounis C., Kyriakis E., Bobas C., Papadopoulos G.E., Skamnaki V.T., Papadopoulou K.K., Leonidas D.D. (2021)
      The glycogen synthase kinases 3 family (GSK3s/SKs; serine/threonine protein kinases) is conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution from yeast to plants and mammals. We studied a plant SK kinase from Lotus japonicus (LjSK1), ...
    • Somatic evolution and global expansion of an ancient transmissible cancer lineage 

      Baez-Ortega A., Gori K., Strakova A., Allen J.L., Allum K.M., Bansse-Issa L., Bhutia T.N., Bisson J.L., Briceño C., Domracheva A.C., Corrigan A.M., Cran H.R., Crawford J.T., Davis E., De Castro K.F., De Nardi A.B., De Vos A.P., Keenan L.D., Donelan E.M., Espinoza Huerta A.R., Faramade I.A., Fazil M., Fotopoulou E., Fruean S.N., Gallardo-Arrieta F., Glebova O., Gouletsou P.G., Häfelin Manrique R.F., Henriques J.J.G.P., Horta R.S., Ignatenko N., Kane Y., King C., Koenig D., Krupa A., Kruzeniski S.J., Kwon Y.-M., Lanza-Perea M., Lazyan M., Lopez Quintana A.M., Losfelt T., Marino G., Castañeda S.M., Martínez-López M.F., Meyer M., Migneco E.J., Nakanwagi B., Neal K.B., Neunzig W., Leathlobhair M.N., Nixon S.J., Ortega-Pacheco A., Pedraza-Ordoñez F., Peleteiro M.C., Polak K., Pye R.J., Reece J.F., Gutierrez J.R., Sadia H., Schmeling S.K., Shamanova O., Sherlock A.G., Stammnitz M., Steenland-Smit A.E., Svitich A., Tapia Martínez L.J., Ngoka I.T., Torres C.G., Tudor E.M., Van Der Wel M.G., Viţălaru B.A., Vural S.A., Walkinton O., Wang J., Wehrle-Martinez A.S., Widdowson S.A.E., Stratton M.R., Alexandrov L.B., Martincorena I., Murchison E.P. (2019)
      The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a cancer lineage that arose several millennia ago and survives by “metastasizing” between hosts through cell transfer. The somatic mutations in this cancer record its ...
    • Targeted somatic mutagenesis through CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae 

      Meccariello A., Tsoumani K.T., Gravina A., Primo P., Buonanno M., Mathiopoulos K.D., Saccone G. (2020)
      The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the most destructive insect pest of olive cultivation, causing significant economic and production losses. Here, we present the establishment of the clustered ...
    • A unique hydrophobic cluster near the active site contributes to differences in borrelidin inhibition, among threonyl-tRNA synthetases 

      Ruan, B.; Bovee, M. L.; Sacher, M.; Stathopoulos, C.; Poralla, K.; Francklyn, C. S.; Söll, D. (2005)
      Borrelidin, a compound with anti-microbial and anti-angiogenic properties, is a known inhibitor of bacterial and eukaryal threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS). The inhibition mechanism of borrelidin is not well understood. ...
