Journal Article
Kavousi, N., Tonge, D. P., & Mourtada-Maarabouni, M. (2023). New insights into the functional role of protein phosphatase 4 regulatory subunit PP4R3A/SMEK1 in the regulation of leukemic cell fate. International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 233, Article 123467. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123467

The serine/threonine protein phosphatase 4 holoenzyme consists of a PP4 catalytic subunit (PP4c), which interacts with four different regulatory subunits. Previous studies have shown that PP4c acts as a tumour suppressor. Emerging evidence suggests t...

The lncRNA Growth Arrest Specific 5 Regulates Cell Survival via Distinct Structural Modules with Independent Functions (2020)
Journal Article
Frank, F., Kavousi, N., Bountali, A., B. Dammer, E., Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., & A. Ortlund, E. (2020). The lncRNA Growth Arrest Specific 5 Regulates Cell Survival via Distinct Structural Modules with Independent Functions. Cell Reports, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2020.107933

There is increasing evidence that the architecture of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) just like that of proteins-is hierarchically organized into independently folding sub-modules with distinct functions. Studies characterizing the cellular activities... Read More about The lncRNA Growth Arrest Specific 5 Regulates Cell Survival via Distinct Structural Modules with Independent Functions.

SAT-LB138 The LncRNA Growth Arrest Specific 5 Regulates Cell Survival via Distinct Structural Modules With Independent Functions (2020)
Journal Article

SAT-LB138 The LncRNA Growth Arrest Specific 5 Regulates Cell Survival via Distinct Structural Modules With Independent Functions. Journal of the Endocrine Society, https://doi.org/10.1210/jendso/bvaa046.2327

The growth arrest-specific 5 (gas5) gene encodes a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that is required for normal growth arrest, slows down the cell cycle, controls apoptosis, and is required for the inhibition of cell growth by mTOR inhibitors such as rap...

Myocardial Infarction Associated Transcript (MIAT) is a subnuclear lncRNA that interferes with alternative splicing and is associated with increased risk of various heart conditions and nervous system tumours. The current study aims to elucidate the... Read More about RNA sequencing reveals a key role for the long non-coding RNA MIAT in regulating neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell fate.

Identification of differentially expressed lncrnas in metformin resistant SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Abstract
Introduction Of the total human DNA only 1.2% o codes for proteins, with the rest only being transcribed into regulatory RNA, known as non-coding RNA. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that have no or limited protein-coding...
