JunD regulates genes involved in antioxidant defence. We took advantage of the chronic oxidative stress resulting from junD deletion to examine the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumour...

Gabarapl1 (gec1) was first described as an estrogen regulated gene which shares a high sequence homology with the gabarap gene. We previously demonstrated that GABARAPL1, like GABARAP, interacts with the...

The T cell leukaemia/lymphoma 1A (TCL1A) oncoprotein plays key roles in several B and T cell malignancies. Lacking enzymatic activity, TCL1A's transforming action was linked to its capacity to co-activate...

Biallelic mutations in the NBN/NBS1 gene are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), a severe pediatric disease characterized by dysmorphy with a bird-like face, microcephaly, growth retardation, immune deficiency,...

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is consistently associated with inactivation of the ATM gene and chromosomal re-arrangements leading to an overexpression of MTCP1/TCL1 oncoproteins. These alterations are present at the earliest...

The TCL1/MTCP1 oncogenes were identified on the basis of their involvement in T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). TCL1 and MTCP1 proteins directly interact with AKT and modulate the AKT signal-transduction pathway,...

Ligand-induced transcription activation of retinoic acid (RA) target genes by nuclear receptors (retinoic acid (RAR) and retinoid X (RXR) receptors) depends on the recruitment of coactivators. We have previously demonstrated...
