Abstract

c-Abl tyrosine kinase, an essential protein of the cell cycle signalling pathways, is implicated in the regulation of RNA polymerase II activity, apoptosis and DNA repair. Its DNA binding activity is important for its biological functions. However, the molecular basis of c-Abl interaction with DNA remains largely unclear. We delimited the human c-Abl DNA binding domain and identified its preferred binding site, 5'-A(A/C)AACAA(A/C). The central AAC motif is highly conserved and constitutes the major core element in the binding sites. EMSAs and footprinting experiments were performed to explore how the c-Abl fusion protein recognizes specific sequences in DNA.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
