    Be it grand or slender, burrowing, blasting, or refusing to sanctify; whether it laughs out loud or is a cry without an alphabet, the choice word, the chosen silence, unmolested language surges toward knowledge, not its destruction. But who does not know of literature banned because it is interrogative; discredited because it is critical; erased because alternate? And how many are outraged by the thought of a self-ravaged tongue? (Stockholm lecture, 1993, D 203, italics mine) Toni Morrison, c..

    Afterword. It is a strange irony that these printed words should come “after (the) word,” thus negating that there is an end to speech, yet an ironythat I can claim in my relationship withMichel Fabre: an ongoing conversation that lasted from the year I returned to France in 1987 until his death in the summer of 2007. I do not wish this to be a coda, an afterthought, even though it comes after death. Verba manent. Christian Keita, whom I met on the campus of Oberlin College where I was teach..

    L’ouvrage de Catherine Rovera examine les rapports complexes qui relient le roman de Charlotte BrontĂ«, Jane Eyre (1847) – chef-d’Ɠuvre de la littĂ©rature victorienne et texte fĂ©tiche des critiques fĂ©ministes – Ă  sa rĂ©Ă©criture un siĂšcle plus tard par la romanciĂšre crĂ©ole originaire de la Dominique, Jean Rhys : Wide Sargasso Sea (1966). Dans ce roman, Rhys a voulu, sous le nom d’Antoinette, donner chair Ă  Bertha Mason, un personnage qui, chez BrontĂ«, apparaĂźt sous un jour entiĂšrement nĂ©gatif et ..

    A RasGAP SH3 Peptide Aptamer Inhibits RasGAP-Aurora Interaction and Induces Caspase-Independent Tumor Cell Death

    The Ras GTPase-activating protein RasGAP catalyzes the conversion of active GTP-bound Ras into inactive GDP-bound Ras. However, RasGAP also acts as a positive effector of Ras and exerts an anti-apoptotic activity that is independent of its GAP function and that involves its SH3 (Src homology) domain. We used a combinatorial peptide aptamer approach to select a collection of RasGAP SH3 specific ligands. We mapped the peptide aptamer binding sites by performing yeast two-hybrid mating assays against a panel of RasGAP SH3 mutants. We examined the biological activity of a peptide aptamer targeting a pocket delineated by residues D295/7, L313 and W317. This aptamer shows a caspase-independent cytotoxic activity on tumor cell lines. It disrupts the interaction between RasGAP and Aurora B kinase. This work identifies the above-mentioned pocket as an interesting therapeutic target to pursue and points its cognate peptide aptamer as a promising guide to discover RasGAP small-molecule drug candidates
