- W2940889523 abstract "Recent advances in molecular oncology have led to the development of the BH3 mimetics – small-molecule drugs that neutralize antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins and, thus, favor the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Mcl-1-selective BH3 mimetics are at relatively early stages of drug development, so their adverse effects, including those relating to the nonapoptotic functions of Mcl-1, are poorly understood. Several BH3 mimetics preclude interactions between Mcl-1 and its proapoptotic partners while stabilizing Mcl-1. Understanding of the conformational changes that induce degradation of Mcl-1 would allow the rational design of alternative compounds that would cause a pronounced reduction of its cellular level. In the context of oncology, it is worth examining alternative strategies to target Mcl-1, such as an alternative splicing switch toward a proapoptotic Mcl-1S isoform and indirect antagonism of Mcl-1. Among cell death regulators, members of the Bcl-2 family are of interest because they are highly conserved across species and represent promising targets for anticancer therapy. This family and its associated proteins include more than 25 members, with either anti- or proapoptotic functions. Although the overall regulation of apoptosis by Bcl-2 family proteins is now well understood, targeted therapy requires careful consideration of individual members of the family and their crosstalk. One of the most studied representatives of the Bcl-2 family is antiapoptotic Mcl-1. After 25 years of investigations, a large amount of data regarding Mcl-1’s regulation and functions has been compiled. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about Mcl-1, focusing on molecular aspects relevant to Mcl-1-targeted therapies.

Protein turnover rate is typically assessed by comparing the levels of target protein radioactivity after incubation of cells with [35S]Cys/Met and the residual radioactivity at certain time points after the release from labeling. a multiprotein machinery that transports proteins with a MTS from the cytosol into mitochondria." @default.
