The nuclear receptor TR3 regulates mTORC1 signaling in lung cancer cells expressing wild-type p53
The orphan nuclear receptor TR3 (NR41A and Nur77) is overexpressed in most lung cancer patients and is a negative prognostic factor for patient survival. The function of TR3 was investigated in non-small-cell ...

Ubc9 promotes breast cell invasion and metastasis in a sumoylation-independent manner
Ubc9 is an E2-conjugating enzyme that transfers the activated small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) to protein substrates, and thus it has an important function in sumoylation-mediated cellular pathways. We hav...
