Among the biomedical efforts in response to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,
pharmacological strategies to reduce viral load in patients with severe forms of the disease …

[HTML][HTML] Potential of phenothiazines to synergistically block calmodulin and reactivate PP2A in cancer cells

GB Manoharan, S Okutachi, D Abankwa - PLoS One, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Phenothiazines (PTZ) were developed as inhibitors of monoamine neurotransmitter receptors,
notably dopamine receptors. Because of this activity they have been used for decades as …

[HTML][HTML] K-Ras binds calmodulin-related centrin1 with potential implications for K-Ras driven cancer cell stemness

G Manoharan, C Laurini, S Bottone, N Ben Fredj… - Cancers, 2023 - mdpi.com
Simple Summary Trafficking chaperones facilitate the spatio-temporal distribution pattern of
proteins inside cells. In the case of the membrane-anchored protein Ras, trafficking …

[HTML][HTML] A covalent calmodulin inhibitor as a tool to study cellular mechanisms of K-Ras-driven stemness

S Okutachi, GB Manoharan, A Kiriazis… - Frontiers in Cell and …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Recently, the highly mutated oncoprotein K-Ras4B (hereafter K-Ras) was shown to drive
cancer cell stemness in conjunction with calmodulin (CaM). We previously showed that the …

[HTML][HTML] Detection of Ras nanoclustering-dependent homo-FRET using fluorescence anisotropy measurements

G babu Manoharan, C Guzman… - European Journal of …, 2023 - Elsevier
The small GTPase Ras is frequently mutated in cancer and a driver of tumorigenesis. The
recent years have shown great progress in drug-targeting Ras and understanding how it …

PDE6D inhibitors with a new design principle selectively block K-Ras activity
