(2018)
      Proteostasis imbalance is emerging as a major hallmark of cancer, driving tumor aggressiveness. Evidence suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a major site for protein folding and quality control, plays a critical ...
    • Evidence for disulfide bonds in SR Protein Kinase 1 (SRPK1) that are required for activity and nuclear localization 

      Koutroumani M., Papadopoulos G.E., Vlassi M., Nikolakaki E., Giannakouros T. (2017)
      Serine/arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) phosphorylate Arg/Ser dipeptide-containing proteins that play crucial roles in a broad spectrum of basic cellular processes. The existence of a large internal spacer sequence that ...
    • Solving the transcription start site identification problem with ADAPT-CAGE: a Machine Learning algorithm for the analysis of CAGE data 

      Georgakilas G.K., Perdikopanis N., Hatzigeorgiou A. (2020)
      Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) has emerged as a powerful experimental technique for assisting in the identification of transcription start sites (TSSs). There is strong evidence that CAGE also identifies capping ...
    • Tales around the clock: Poly(A) tails in circadian gene expression 

      Beta R.A.A., Balatsos N.A.A. (2018)
      Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous time-keeping processes in eukaryotes with a period of ~24 hr. Light is perhaps the main environmental cue (zeitgeber) that affects several aspects of physiology and behaviour, such as ...
    • TDP-43 loss and ALS-risk SNPs drive mis-splicing and depletion of UNC13A
