Characterisation of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase from the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (2023)
Journal Article
Ducker, C., French, S., Pathak, M., Taylor, H., Sainter, A., Askem, W., …Oldham, N. J. (2023). Characterisation of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase from the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis. Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 161, Article 104001. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ibmb.2023.104001

Leishmaniasis is a debilitating and often fatal neglected tropical disease. Males from sub-populations of the Leishmania-harbouring sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, produce the diterpene sex and aggregation pheromone, sobralene, for which geranylgeran...

The Small Molecule Antagonist KCI807 Disrupts Association of the Amino-Terminal Domain of the Androgen Receptor with ELK1 by Modulating the Adjacent DNA Binding Domain (2023)
Journal Article
Soave, C., Ducker, C., Islam, N., Kim, S., Yurgelevic, S., Nicely, N. I., …Ratnam, M. (2023). The Small Molecule Antagonist KCI807 Disrupts Association of the Amino-Terminal Domain of the Androgen Receptor with ELK1 by Modulating the Adjacent DNA Binding Domain. Molecular Pharmacology, 103(4), 211-220. https://doi.org/10.1124/molpharm.122.000589

The androgen receptor (AR) is a crucial coactivator of ELK1 for prostate cancer (PCa) growth, associating with ELK1 through two peptide segments (358-457 and 514-557) within the amino-terminal domain (NTD) of AR. The small-molecule antagonist 5-hydro...
