Researchers Find Protein that may help Control prostate Cancer (HealthDay)

FRIDAY, December 3, HealthDay News)--a Protein that regulates the prostate cancer stem cell self-renewal and the role played by converting the healthy cells also prostate cancer cells have been found to Us researchers.

Conclusions, which relates to the Bmi-1 protein, may prove to be to play an important role in the efforts to find according to the growth and progression of cancer research, University of California, Los Angeles, starting from the monitor in a number of ways.

Previous research had found that the Bmi-1 is attached to a higher grade of cancers at an early stage and proactive-poor patient results. But now its role in prostate cancer stem cell maintenance and prostate cancer is not clear.

UCLA study was carried out, using the cells and experimental animals.

Senior author Dr. Owen Witte, Director, UCLA, University-wide press release said Stem Cell Research Center "to conclude that there had been an. .. Bmi-1 is of crucial importance for the reform of the controller is a self-prostate cancer cells in the adult and play important roles in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer, "the investigation.

"It was encouraging to see that prevent this protein to slow down even a very aggressive prostate cancer growth because that could give us new ways to attack with this disease," he added.

The study is published online Dec. 2 cell Stem Cell.

Protein folding via charge zippers

Jan. 18, 2013 — Membrane proteins are the "molecular machines" in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the journal Cell, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper principle used by proteins to form functional units. "It is fascinating to see the elegant basic principles that are used by nature to construct molecular assemblies," explains Anne Ulrich, Director of the KIT Institute for Biological Interfaces. "A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell membranes....
