The protein phosphatase 4 - PEA15 axis regulates the survival of breast cancer cells (2016)
Journal Article
Mohammed, H. N., Pickard, M. R., & Mourtada-Maarabouni, M. (2016). The protein phosphatase 4 - PEA15 axis regulates the survival of breast cancer cells. Cellular Signalling, 1389 - 1400. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cellsig.2016.06.011

Background:
The control of breast cell survival is of critical importance for preventing breast cancer initiation and progression. The activity of many proteins which regulate cell survival is controlled by reversible phosphorylation, so that the re...

The vacuolar ATPase subunit E controls apoptosis and is down-regulated in breast cancer (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Mohammed, S., & Mourtada-Maarabouni, M. (2015, November). The vacuolar ATPase subunit E controls apoptosis and is down-regulated in breast cancer. Poster presented at 11th NCRI Cancer Conference, Liverpool

Background
Vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) is a large multisubunit proton pump that mediates the acidification of many intracellular compartments. Previous studies have strongly implicated v-ATPase in carcinogenesis and tumour progression and indicat...

Conserved sequence-specific lincRNA-steroid receptor interactions drive transcriptional repression and direct cell fate (2014)
Journal Article
Hudson, W. H., Pickard, M. R., de Vera, I. M. S., Kuiper, E. G., Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., Conn, G. L., …Ortlund, E. A. (2014). Conserved sequence-specific lincRNA-steroid receptor interactions drive transcriptional repression and direct cell fate. Nature Communications, 5(1), Article 5395. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms6395

The majority of the eukaryotic genome is transcribed, generating a significant number of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). Although lincRNAs represent the most poorly understood product of transcription, recent work has shown lincRNAs fulfil...

Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5 (2013)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., & Williams, G. T. (2013). Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5. BioMed Research International, 2013, Article 358015. https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/358015

Nonsense-mediated decay is a key RNA surveillance mechanism responsible for the rapid degradation of mRNAs containing premature termination codons and hence prevents the synthesis of truncated proteins. More recently, it has been shown that nonsense-... Read More about Growth arrest on inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay is mediated by noncoding RNA GAS5.
