The nuclear phosphoinositide response to stress

M Chen, T Wen, HT Horn, VK Chandrahas, N Thapa… - Cell Cycle, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Accumulating evidence reveals that nuclear phosphoinositides (PIs) serve as central signaling
hubs that control a multitude of nuclear processes by regulating the activity of nuclear …

A p53–phosphoinositide signalosome regulates nuclear AKT activation

M Chen, S Choi, T Wen, C Chen, N Thapa, JH Lee… - Nature cell …, 2022 - nature.com
The tumour suppressor p53 and PI3K–AKT pathways have fundamental roles in the regulation
of cell growth and apoptosis, and are frequently mutated in cancer. Here, we show that …

T Wen, N Thapa, VL Cryns, RA Anderson - Biomolecules, 2023 - mdpi.com
Cytoplasmic phosphoinositides (PI) are critical regulators of the membrane–cytosol interface
that control a myriad of cellular functions despite their low abundance among phospholipids…

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signalling is spatially organized at endosomal compartments by microtubule-associated protein 4

N Thapa, M Chen, HT Horn, S Choi, T Wen… - Nature cell …, 2020 - nature.com
The canonical model of agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)–Akt signalling
proposes that PI3K is activated at the plasma membrane, where receptors are activated …

[HTML][HTML] The specificity of EGF-stimulated IQGAP1 scaffold towards the PI3K-Akt pathway is defined by the IQ3 motif

M Chen, S Choi, O Jung, T Wen, C Baum, N Thapa… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)
pathway are commonly deregulated in cancer. Recently, we have shown that the IQ motif…

[HTML][HTML] Regulation of Cell Adhesion and Migration via Microtubule Cytoskeleton Organization, Cell Polarity, and Phosphoinositide Signaling

N Thapa, T Wen, VL Cryns, RA Anderson - Biomolecules, 2023 - mdpi.com
The capacity for cancer cells to metastasize to distant organs depends on their ability to
execute the carefully choreographed processes of cell adhesion and migration. As most human …
