A dCas9 fusion with VP64, p65, and HSF1 (heat shock factor 1) allowed researchers to target genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and increase transcription to a similar level as when the gene itself is inserted into the plant's genome. For one of the two genes tested, the dCas9 activator changes the number and size of leaves and made the plants better ...
Encorafenib acts as an ATP-competitive RAF kinase inhibitor, decreasing ERK phosphorylation and down-regulation of CyclinD1. [10] This arrests the cell cycle in G1 phase, inducing senescence without apoptosis. [10] Therefore, it is only effective in melanomas with a BRAF mutation, which make up 50% of all melanomas. [11]
BRAF is a human gene that encodes a protein called B-Raf. The gene is also referred to as proto-oncogene B-Raf and v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, while the protein is more formally known as serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf. [5] [6] The B-Raf protein is involved in sending signals inside cells which are involved in directing ...
They regulate cell functions including proliferation, gene expression, differentiation, mitosis, cell survival, and apoptosis. [1] MAP kinases are found in eukaryotes only, but they are fairly diverse and encountered in all animals, fungi and plants, and even in an array of unicellular eukaryotes. [citation needed]
Furthermore, the pathway has been shown to encode the strength of signaling inputs though frequency modulated pulses of its activity. Using live cell FRET biosensors, cells induced with different concentrations of EGF illicit activity bursts of different frequency, where higher levels of EGF resulted in more frequent bursts of ERK activity.
A B-Raf inhibitor is an anticancer drug that inhibits the normal or mutated B-raf gene. Pages in category "B-Raf inhibitors" The following 3 pages are in this category, out of 3 total.
Dabrafenib, sold under the brand name Tafinlar among others, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of cancers associated with a mutated version of the gene BRAF. [2] Dabrafenib acts as an inhibitor of the associated enzyme B-Raf, which plays a role in the regulation of cell growth .
