PLDLS-dependent interaction of E1A with CtBP: regulation of CtBP nuclear localization and transcriptional functions
C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) are cellular corepressors that are targeted by adenovirus E1A. A conserved motif of E1A (PLDLS) interacts with an N-terminal hydrophobic cleft of CtBPs. Many cellular cofact...

BH3-only protein BIK induces caspase-independent cell death with autophagic features in Bcl-2 null cells
The BH3-only protein BIK normally induces apoptotic cell death. Here, we have investigated the role of BCL-2 in BIK-induced cell death using Bcl-2+/+ and Bcl-2−/− mouse embryo fibroblasts. Ectopic expression of B...

BNIP3 subfamily BH3-only proteins: mitochondrial stress sensors in normal and pathological functions
The BNIP3 subfamily of BH3-only proteins consists of BNIP3 and BNIP3-like (BNIP3L) proteins. These proteins form stable homodimerization complexes that localize to the outer membrane of the mitochondria after ...

BIK, the founding member of the BH3-only family proteins: mechanisms of cell death and role in cancer and pathogenic processes
BIK is the founding member of the BH3-only family pro-apoptotic proteins. BIK is predominantly localized in the ER and induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway by mobilizing calcium from the ER to t...

Open AccessInteraction of ZEB and Histone Deacetylase with the PLDLS-binding cleft region of monomeric C-terminal Binding Protein 2
Proteins of the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) family, CtBP1 and CtBP2 are closely related transcriptional regulators that are coded by two different gene loci in the vertebrate genomes. They perform redund...

Evaluation of apoptogenic adenovirus type 5 oncolytic vectors in a Syrian hamster head and neck cancer model
Human adenovirus (HAdV) vectors are intensely investigated for virotherapy of a wide variety of human cancers. Here, we have evaluated the effect of two apoptogenic HAdV5 vectors in an immunocompetent Syrian h...

A pathogenic CtBP1 missense mutation causes altered cofactor binding and transcriptional activity
We previously reported a pathogenic de novo p.R342W mutation in the transcriptional corepressor CTBP1 in four independent patients with neurodevelopmental disabilities [1]. Here, we report the clinical phenotypes...
