Structural characterization of human de novo protein NCYM and its complex with a newly identified DNA aptamer using atomic force microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering

Structural characterization of human de novo protein NCYM and its complex with a newly identified DNA aptamer using atomic force microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering

NCYM, a Homininae-specific oncoprotein, is the first de novo gene product experimentally shown to have oncogenic functions. NCYM stabilizes MYCN and β-catenin via direct binding and inhibition of GSK3β and promotes cancer progression in various tumors. Thus, the identification of compounds that bind...
