Degradation of the SCF component Skp2 in cell-cycle phase G1 by the anaphase-promoting complex

W Wei, NG Ayad, Y Wan, GJ Zhang, MW Kirschner… - Nature, 2004 - nature.com
Cell-cycle transitions are driven by waves of ubiquitin-dependent degradation of key cell-cycle
regulators. SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box protein) complexes and anaphase-promoting …

The tumour suppressor RASSF1A regulates mitosis by inhibiting the APC–Cdc20 complex

MS Song, SJ Song, NG Ayad, JS Chang, JH Lee… - Nature cell …, 2004 - nature.com
The tumour suppressor gene RASSF1A is frequently silenced in lung cancer and other sporadic
tumours as a result of hypermethylation of a CpG island in its promoter 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . …

[PDF][PDF] Sororin, a substrate of the anaphase-promoting complex, is required for sister chromatid cohesion in vertebrates

S Rankin, NG Ayad, MW Kirschner - Molecular cell, 2005 - cell.com
We have identified a regulator of sister chromatid cohesion in a screen for cell cycle-controlled
proteins. This 35 kDa protein is degraded through anaphase-promoting complex (APC)-…

[HTML][HTML] Serum long noncoding RNA HOTAIR as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in glioblastoma multiforme

…, RJ Komotar, ME Ivan, C Wahlestedt, NG Ayad - Molecular cancer, 2018 - Springer
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant adult primary
brain tumor. Despite surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the …

The Bromodomain protein BRD4 controls HOTAIR, a long noncoding RNA essential for glioblastoma proliferation

…, R Komotar, G St. Laurent, NG Ayad… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) domain proteins have emerged as promising
therapeutic targets in glioblastoma and many other cancers. Small molecule inhibitors of BET …

[HTML][HTML] Tome-1, a trigger of mitotic entry, is degraded during G1 via the APC

NG Ayad, S Rankin, M Murakami, J Jebanathirajah… - Cell, 2003 - cell.com
Entry into mitosis requires the activation of cdk1/cyclin B, while mitotic exit is achieved when
the same kinase activity decreases, as cyclin B is degraded. Cyclin B proteolysis is …

BET bromodomain proteins are required for glioblastoma cell proliferation

…, JN Sarkaria, RJ Komotar, C Wahlestedt, NG Ayad - Epigenetics, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Epigenetic proteins have recently emerged as novel anticancer targets. Among these,
bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) proteins recognize lysine-acetylated histones, …

[HTML][HTML] The BET bromodomain inhibitor I-BET151 acts downstream of smoothened protein to abrogate the growth of hedgehog protein-driven cancers

…, A Capobianco, F Bai, XH Pei, NG Ayad… - Journal of Biological …, 2014 - ASBMB
Epigenetic enzymes modulate signal transduction pathways in different biological contexts.
We reasoned that epigenetic regulators might modulate the Hedgehog (HH) signaling …

[HTML][HTML] Drug repositioning in glioblastoma: a pathway perspective

…, CB Nemeroff, SC Schürer, NG Ayad - Frontiers in …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant primary adult brain tumor. The current
standard of care is surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment, which extends …

[HTML][HTML] Drug and disease signature integration identifies synergistic combinations in glioblastoma

…, TR Golub, SC Schürer, NG Ayad - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary adult brain tumor. Despite extensive efforts,
the median survival for GBM patients is approximately 14 months. GBM therapy could …
