Hic-5 controls BMP4 responses in prostate cancer cells through interacting with Smads 1, 5 and 8
Hydrogen peroxide-inducible clone-5 (Hic-5, or androgen receptor-associated protein 55) is a transforming growth factor-β-inducible LIM protein whose deregulation is implicated in the progression of prostate c...

Open AccessThe anti-apoptotic function of human αA-crystallin is directly related to its chaperone activity
αA-crystallin is a molecular chaperone and an antiapoptotic protein. This study investigated the mechanism of inhibition of apoptosis by human αA-crystallin and determined if the chaperone activity of αA-crystall...

Hdm2 is a ubiquitin ligase of Ku70-Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting Hdm2-dependent Ku70 destabilization
Earlier, we have reported that 70 kDa subunit of Ku protein heterodimer (Ku70) binds and inhibits Bax activity in the cytosol and that ubiquitin (Ub)-dependent proteolysis of cytosolic Ku70 facilitates Bax-med...

Smad7 is inactivated through a direct physical interaction with the LIM protein Hic-5/ARA55
We recently reported that hydrogen peroxide-inducible clone-5 (Hic-5, also named androgen receptor-associated protein 55) can bind to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-signaling regulator Smad3, thereby...

Rb/E2F4 and Smad2/3 link survivin to TGF-β-induced apoptosis and tumor progression
Survivin is a prosurvival protein overexpressed in many cancers through mechanisms that remain poorly explored, and is implicated in control of tumor progression and resistance to cancer chemotherapeutics. Her...

ELAC2, a putative prostate cancer susceptibility gene product, potentiates TGF-β/Smad-induced growth arrest of prostate cells
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) elicits a potent growth inhibitory effect on many normal cells by binding to specific serine/threonine kinase receptors and activating specific Smad proteins, which regulate t...

Cited2 modulates TGF-β-mediated upregulation of MMP9
Cited (CBP/p300-interacting transactivators with glutamic acid (E)/aspartic acid (D)-rich C-terminal domain) 2, which is a CBP/p300-binding transcription co-activator without typical DNA-binding domains, has been...

Anti-oestrogens induce the secretion of active transforming growth factor beta from human fetal fibroblasts
The clinical use of anti-oestrogens in breast cancer therapy has traditionally been restricted to tumours that contain measurable oestrogen receptor protein. However, it is now widely recognised that the clini...
