  • Publication number: 20240137821
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for switching from a master node to a secondary node in a communication system. A method of a first communication node may comprise: adding the first communication node as a primary secondary cell (PSCell) to a second communication node through dual connectivity (DC); generating a first user plane path for smart dynamic switching (SDS) and a first instance for supporting the first user plane path according to a request from the second communication node; transmitting information on the first user plane path and the first instance to a terminal; receiving user data based on the first user plane path from the terminal as the first instance; and transmitting the user data to a core network using the first user plane path.

  • Publication number: 20180318378
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide suppressing the phosphorylation of threonine(T120), the 120th residue of TSPYL5 (testis-specific Y-like protein 5), which is specifically as follows. The present inventors constructed T120D, the mutant of the 120th residue threonine(T120) of TSPYL5, and T120A-TSPYL5 gene and then transfected cells with them in order to investigate the effect of phosphorylation on T120 residue. As a result, wild-type TSPYL5 and T120D moved into nucleus and stayed there. But in the case of T120A-TSPYL5, TSPYL5 did not move into nucleus and instead it was expressed only in cytoplasm. The protein could not bind to AKT, either. Instead, ubiquitination of TSPYL5 was increased but SUMOylation was inhibited. Also, the expressions of ALDH1-A1, -A3, CD44 gene and protein were reduced, and thereby the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells were suppressed and sphere formation was reduced.
