'The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the biological responses of androgens. However, non-androgenic pathways have also been shown to activate the AR. The mechanism of cross-talk between the interleukin-6 (IL-6) and AR signal transduction pathways was investigated in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells. IL-6 induced ... More

The conserved FER-CIP4 homology (FCH) domain is found in the pombe Cdc15 homology (PCH) protein family members, including formin-binding protein 17 (FBP17). However, the amino acid sequence homology extends beyond the FCH domain. We have termed this region the extended FC (EFC) domain. We found that FBP17 coordinated membrane deformation ... More
