Lyn-mediated procaspase 8 dimerization blocks apoptotic signaling in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
19 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Lyn, a member of the group of tyrosine kinases named the Src family kinases (SFKs), is overexpressed, associated with an aberrant multiprotein complex and constitutively active in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells, resulting in a high level of tyrosine phosphorylation and contributing to their resistance to apoptosis. By using biochemical and bioinformatics tools, we identified procaspase-8...
