BEHAVIOR OF SOLVENT-EXPOSED HYDROPHOBIC GROOVE IN THE ANTI-APOPTOTIC BCL-XL PROTEIN: CLUES FOR ITS ABILITY TO BIND DIVERSE BH3 LIGANDS FROM MD SIMULATIONS.

Behavior of solvent-exposed hydrophobic groove in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-XL protein: clues for its ability to bind diverse BH3 ligands from MD simulations.

Bcl-XL is a member of Bcl-2 family of proteins involved in the regulation of intrinsic pathway of apoptosis.Its overexpression in many human cancers makes it an important target for anti-cancer drugs.Bcl-XL interacts with the BH3 domain of several pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 partners.This helical bundle protein has a pronounced hydrophobic groove which act

Single cell transcriptomics reveals the cellular heterogeneity of keloids and the mechanism of their aggressiveness

Abstract Keloid is a dermatofibrotic disease known for its aggressive nature and characterized by pathological scarring, which often leads to disfigurement and frequent recurrences.Effective therapies for keloids are still limited, presumably due to the inadequate comprehension of their aggressive mechanisms.In our study, we examined the unique sce
