Taking into account these coincidences, it might be interesting to test whether VvRVE1 could act as a core clock morning gene in grapevine pre-ripe fruits.
The finding of BRCA2, Plk1, and Rad51 in a common complex led us to explore the possibility that BRCA2 may act as a core regulatory platform that brings Plk1 and Rad51 into close proximity and, in this manner, promotes Plk1-dependent Rad51 phosphorylation at S14 during the cell cycle and/or following genotoxic stress.
PAI-1 (plasminogen activator Inhibitor-1), the downstream target of NF-κB in AHFs and CAFs, acts as a core in trigging cell growth and polarity changes of epithelium-like tumor cell MCF-7.
