Two of the main functions of the TP53/P53 tumor suppressor transcription factor (TF) are cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. P53 directly and/or indirectly regulates the expression of many genes that are required for cell cycle progression and checkpoint control. For example, one of these indirect transcriptional mechanisms include the employment of a protein complex called DREAM that acts as a transcriptional repressor. Even though many genome-wide studies have been carried out, we could not find any webtool in literature, designed to compare or contrast multiple P53 suppressed/activated datasets with each other and together with the user’s data by looking at the P53 target complexes. We developed TP53-TEMA webtool to explore RNAseq or microarray experiments performed by modulating wildtype or mutant TP53 expression levels in cancer cells to help the user visualize and analyze public or custom datasets. We also employed the pipeline to identify the repressed or activated genes in our own relevant RNAseq dataset involving treatment with an siRNA against P53 or CHRNA5 alone or in combination, in MCF7 breast cancer cell line, via clustering and heatmaps. TP53-TEMA also allows the user to carry out enrichment pathway analyses on the provided dataset based on the given logFC and FDR cutoffs; and the output is provided in the form of various plots such as a barplot to show the enriched pathways, or a CNET plot that shows the associations of the genes and their biological concept as a network. TP53-TEMA can be adapted to other TFs and their targets, and help resolve potential discrepancies in TF target discovery. TP53-TEMA webtool has been developed as part of a TUBITAK funded project (Proje no. 219Z029).

Hoffmann, Thomas; Marıon, Antoıne; Antes, Iris (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02)
Background: T cell receptor (TCR) molecules are involved in the adaptive immune response as they distinguish between self- and foreign-peptides, presented in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). Former studies showed that the association angles of the TCR variable domains (Va/V beta) can differ significantly and change upon binding to the pMHC complex. These changes can be described as a rotation of the domains around a general Center of Rotation, characterized by the interaction of two highly...
Analysis of ligand-receptor cross-linked fragments by mass spectrometry
Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Hurst, GB; Naider, F; Becker, JM (Wiley, 2005-03-01)
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a class of integral membrane receptor proteins that are characterized by a signature seven-transmembrane (7-TM) configuration. The alpha-factor receptor (Ste2p) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a GPCR that, upon binding of a peptide ligand, transduces a signal to initiate a cascade of events leading to the mating of haploid yeast cells. This study summarizes the application of affinity purification and of matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight (MAL...

Poly (I:C), which is a synthetic double-stranded RNA, have significant toxicity on tumor cells. The immobilization of Poly (I:C) onto nanoparticles is important for the fabrication of targeted delivery systems. In this study, different generations of newly synthesized PAMAM dendron-coated magnetic nanoparticles (DcMNP) which can be targeted to the tumor site under magnetic field were efficiently loaded for the first time with Poly (I:C). Different generations of DcMNPs (G(2), G(3), G(4), G(5), G(6), and G(7...
Micropatterned Surfaces Expose the Coupling between Actin Cytoskeleton-Lamin/Nesprin and Nuclear Deformability of Breast Cancer Cells with Different Malignancies.
Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Hasirci, Vasif (2021-01-01)
Mechanotransduction proteins transfer mechanical stimuli through nucleo‐cytoskeletal coupling and affect the nuclear morphology of cancer cells. However, the contribution of actin filament integrity has never been studied directly. It is hypothesized that differences in nuclear deformability of cancer cells are influenced by the integrity of actin filaments. In this study, transparent micropatterned surfaces as simple tools to screen cytoskeletal and nuclear distortions are presented. Surfaces decorated wit...
