Plasmodium P-type cyclin CYC3 modulates endomitotic growth during oocyst development in mosquitoes (2015)
Journal Article
Roques, M., Wall, R. J., Douglass, A. P., Ramaprasad, A., Ferguson, D. J. P., Kaindama, M. L., …Tewari, R. (2015). Plasmodium P-type cyclin CYC3 modulates endomitotic growth during oocyst development in mosquitoes. PLoS Pathogens, 11(11), Article e1005273. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1005273

Cell-cycle progression and cell division in eukaryotes are governed in part by the cyclin family and their regulation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclins are very well characterised in model systems such as yeast and human cells, but surprisi...

Mitotic activity of survivin is regulated by acetylation at K129 (2015)
Journal Article
Aljaberi, A. M., Webster, J. R., & Wheatley, S. P. (2015). Mitotic activity of survivin is regulated by acetylation at K129. Cell Cycle, 14(11), https://doi.org/10.1080/15384101.2015.1033597

Survivin is a cancer-associated protein regulated by multiple factors, including acetylation at K129 within its C-terminal alpha-helical tail. Acetylation of survivin is being pursued as a potential prognostic marker in breast cancer. This modificat... Read More about Mitotic activity of survivin is regulated by acetylation at K129.

The functional repertoire of survivin's tails (2015)
Journal Article
Wheatley, S. P. (2015). The functional repertoire of survivin's tails. Cell Cycle, 14(2), https://doi.org/10.4161/15384101.2014.979680

Survivin is a multitasking protein that can inhibit cell death and that is essential for mitosis. Due to these prosurvival activities and the correlation of its expression with tumour resistance to conventional cancer treatments, survivin has receive...
