Functional expression cloning reveals proapoptotic role for protein phosphatase 4 (2003)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., Kirkham, L., Jenkins, B., Rayner, J., Gonda, T. J., Starr, R., …Williams, G. T. (2003). Functional expression cloning reveals proapoptotic role for protein phosphatase 4. Cell Death and Differentiation, 10, Article 1016–1024. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.cdd.4401274

Functional expression cloning strategies are highly suitable for the analysis of the molecular control of apoptosis. This approach has two critical advantages. Firstly, it eliminates prior assumptions about the properties of the proteins involved, an... Read More about Functional expression cloning reveals proapoptotic role for protein phosphatase 4.

Effects of the Imidazoline Binding Site Ligands, Idazoxan and Efaroxan, on the Viability of Insulin-Secreting BRIN-BD11 Cells (2003)
Journal Article
Gao, H., Mourtada, M., & Morgan, N. G. (2003). Effects of the Imidazoline Binding Site Ligands, Idazoxan and Efaroxan, on the Viability of Insulin-Secreting BRIN-BD11 Cells. Journal of the Pancreas, 4(3),

Context Certain imidazoline drugs stimulate insulin secretion acutely but their longer term effects on the viability of pancreatic beta-cells are less well characterised. Indeed, some reports have suggested that imidazolines can be toxic to beta-cel...

Simultaneous acceleration of the cell cycle and suppression of apoptosis by splice variant delta-6 of the candidate tumour suppressor LUCA-15/RBM5 (2003)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., Sutherland, L. C., Meredith, J. M., & Williams, G. T. (2003). Simultaneous acceleration of the cell cycle and suppression of apoptosis by splice variant delta-6 of the candidate tumour suppressor LUCA-15/RBM5. Genes to Cells, 8(2), 109-119. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2443.2003.00619.x

Background: The short arm of chromosome 3 is thought to include one or more tumour suppressor genes (TSGs), since carcinoma of various tissues display deletions in this region. Many genes mapping to this region have recently been identified, includin...
