Scientists find protein to help control prostate cancer (HealthDay)

FRIDAY, December 3 HealthDay News)--a protein that take care of his blood stem cell prostate-renewal and also play a role in transformation Pack healthy red blood cells in prostate cancer cells package who identified by scientists U. S..

To them, who was involved protein Bmi-1, could prove important in efforts to find ways to control the cancer progression and, according to research, the team of the University of California, Los Angeles.

The first research found that Bmi-1 associated with higher-officer has told senior officers and two cancers prédictive medical results. But so far his role in stem cell maintenance and prostate prostate cancer was not clear.

The UCLA Study conducted using package red blood cells and laboratory animals, does not.

'' We decided ... Bmi-1 is a critical regulators his blood renewal in old prostate cells and the role of important struggle in prostate cancer progression and ouverture, '' said study author, Dr. Owen Chief Witte, Director of the Broad Stem cell Research center in UCLA, said in a news Release University.

'' It was encouraging to see that this protein materials ralentit horns a very aggressive prostate for could give us new ways to attack this disease, '' he added.

The study published on Dec. 2 in 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....
