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.

Long non-coding RNA GAS5 regulates apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines (2013)
Journal Article
Pickard, M., Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., & Williams, G. (2013). Long non-coding RNA GAS5 regulates apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines. BBA - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1832(10), 1613 - 1623. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbadis.2013.05.005

While the role of small non-coding RNAs, such as miRNAs, in apoptosis control is well established, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have received less attention. Growth Arrest-Specific 5 (GAS5) encodes multiple snoRNAs within its introns, while exonic... Read More about Long non-coding RNA GAS5 regulates apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines.

Apoptosis Suppression by Candidate Oncogene PLAC8 is Reversed in Other Cell Types (2013)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., Watson, D., Munir, M., Farzaneh, F., & T. Williams, G. (2013). Apoptosis Suppression by Candidate Oncogene PLAC8 is Reversed in Other Cell Types. Current Cancer Drug Targets, 13(1), 80-91. https://doi.org/10.2174/156800913804486584

Targets for cancer therapy are conventionally selected by identification of molecules acting downstream of established tumour suppressors and oncoproteins, such as p53, c-Myc and Ras. However, the forward genetics approach provides an alternative, co... Read More about Apoptosis Suppression by Candidate Oncogene PLAC8 is Reversed in Other Cell Types.
