• Thanksgiving to Yeast, the HMGB Proteins History from Yeast to Cancer [Review] 

      Lamas, Mónica; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Cámara-Quílez, M.; Cerdán, María Esperanza (MDPI, 2023-04-11)
      [Abstract] Yeasts have been a part of human life since ancient times in the fermentation of many natural products used for food. In addition, in the 20th century, they became powerful tools to elucidate the functions of ...
    • The Challenges and Opportunities of lncRNAs in Ovarian Cancer Research and Clinical Use 

      Salamini-Montemurri, Martín; Lamas, Mónica; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Rodríguez-Belmonte, Esther; Quindós-Varela, María; Cerdán, María Esperanza (MDPI, 2020-04-21)
      [Abstract] Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies worldwide because it tends to be detected late, when the disease has already spread, and prognosis is poor. In this review we aim to highlight ...
    • The HMGB Protein KlIxr1, a DNA Binding Regulator of Kluyveromyces lactis Gene Expression Involved in Oxidative Metabolism, Growth, and dNTP Synthesis 

      Rico Díaz, Agustín; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Rey-Souto, Cora; Becerra, Manuel; Lamas, Mónica; Cerdán, María Esperanza; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel (MDPI, 2021-08-21)
      [Abstract] In the traditional fermentative model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ScIxr1 is an HMGB (High Mobility Group box B) protein that has been considered as an important regulator of gene transcription in response ...
    • The HMGB1-2 Ovarian Cancer Interactome: the Role of HMGB Proteins and Their Interacting Partners MIEN1 and NOP53 in Ovary Cancer and Drug-Response 

      Cámara-Quílez, María; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Rodríguez-Belmonte, Esther; Quindós-Varela, María; Lamas, Mónica; Cerdán, María Esperanza (MDPI, 2020-08-27)
      [Abstract] High mobility group box B (HMGB) proteins are overexpressed in different types of cancers such as epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). We have determined the first interactome of HMGB1 and HMGB2 in epithelial ovarian ...
    • Thermus thermophilus as a Source of Thermostable Lipolytic Enzymes 

      López-López, Olalla; Cerdán, María Esperanza; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015)
      Lipolytic enzymes, esterases (EC 3.1.1.1) and lipases (EC 3.1.1.3), catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between alcohols and carboxylic acids, and its formation in organic media. At present, they represent about 20% of ...
    • Xylanases From Thermophilic Archaea: A Hidden Treasure 

      Saavedra-Bouza, Almudena; Escuder-Rodríguez, Juan-José; De Castro de Antonio, María Eugenia; Becerra, Manuel; González-Siso, María-Isabel (Elsevier, 2022-12-12)
      [Abstract] Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms that often inhabit extremophilic environments. Their enzymes are therefore of enormous biotechnological interest, due to their stability and activity in harsh ...
