Usbiological Datasheet MAD2L1 (Mitotic spindle assembly Checkpoint Protein MAD2A, HsMAD2, Mitotic arrest deficient 2-like Protein 1, MAD2-like Protein 1, MAD2) Catalog number 223989 Supplier United States Biological Cell cycle progression is subject to arrest at the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint in response to incorrect spindle fiber assembly. MAD2 (for mitotic arrest-deficient) is a component of the mitotic spindle checkpoint. Cells with mutated MAD2 do not undergo mitotic arrest in response to incorrect spindle fiber assembly, which results in missegregation and eventual cell death. A breast carcinoma cell line with reduced MAD2 expression, T47D, was shown to complete mitosis in the presence of nocodazole, an inhibitor of mitotic spindle assembly. MAD2 is localized to unattached kinetochores during prometaphase and disassociates upon spindle fiber attachment, indicating that MAD2 regulates kinetochore binding to the spindle fibers. Human MAD2 has also been shown to associate with insulin receptor (IR), but not IGFIR, implicating MAD2 as a mediator for IR-specific signaling. MAD2B, a MAD2 homolog, is required for the execution of the mitotic checkpoint monitoring the kinetochore-spindle attachment process and if the process is not complete, MAD2B delays the onset of anaphase.

Surface levels of transporters are also regulated by internalization. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of cargo proteins requires adaptor protein 2 (AP2), which recruits cargo to the nascent clathrin- cage. The transporter C-terminus is required for internalization but lacks an AP2- binding site.

BioSyst., 2016, 12,3067 David Xu,ab Shadia I. Jalal,c George W. Sledge Jr.d and Samy O. Meroueh*aef The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) offers an unprecedented opportunity to identify small-molecule binding sites on proteins with overexpressed mRNA levels that correlate with poor survival. Here, we analyze RNA-seq and clinical data for 10 tumor types to identify genes that are both overexpressed and correlate with patient survival. Protein products of these genes were scanned for binding sites that possess shape and physicochemical properties that can accommodate small-molecule probes or therapeutic agents (druggable). These binding sites were classified as enzyme active sites (ENZ), protein–protein interaction sites (PPI), or other sites whose function is unknown (OTH). Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of binding sites were classified as OTH. We find that ENZ, PPI, and OTH binding sites often occurred on the same structure suggesting that many of these OTH cavities can be used for allosteric modulation of Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. enzyme activity or protein–protein interactions with small molecules. We discovered several ENZ (PYCR1, QPRT,andHSPA6)andPPI(CASC5, ZBTB32,andCSAD) binding sites on proteins that have been seldom explored in cancer.

  • Proteomic Analysis of Ubiquitin Ligase KEAP1 Reveals Associated Proteins That Inhibit NRF2 Ubiquitination
    Published OnlineFirst February 4, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-4400 Cancer Molecular and Cellular Pathobiology Research Proteomic Analysis of Ubiquitin Ligase KEAP1 Reveals Associated Proteins That Inhibit NRF2 Ubiquitination Bridgid E. Hast1, Dennis Goldfarb2, Kathleen M. Mulvaney1, Michael A. Hast4, Priscila F. Siesser1, Feng Yan1, D. Neil Hayes3, and Michael B. Major1,2 Abstract Somatic mutations in the KEAP1 ubiquitin ligase or its substrate NRF2 (NFE2L2) commonly occur in human cancer, resulting in constitutive NRF2-mediated transcription of cytoprotective genes. However, many tumors display high NRF2 activity in the absence of mutation, supporting the hypothesis that alternative mechanisms of pathway activation exist. Previously, we and others discovered that via a competitive binding mechanism, the proteins WTX (AMER1), PALB2, and SQSTM1 bind KEAP1 to activate NRF2. Proteomic analysis of the KEAP1 protein interaction network revealed a significant enrichment of associated proteins containing an ETGE amino acid motif, which matches the KEAP1 interaction motif found in NRF2. Like WTX, PALB2, and SQSTM1, we found that the dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) protein binds KEAP1 via an "ETGE" motif to displace NRF2, thus inhibiting NRF2 ubiquitination and driving NRF2-dependent transcription. Comparing the spectrum of KEAP1-interacting proteins with the genomic profile of 178 squamous cell lung carcinomas characterized by The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed amplification and mRNA overexpression of the DPP3 gene in tumors with high NRF2 activity but lacking NRF2 stabilizing mutations. We further show that tumor-derived mutations in KEAP1 are hypomorphic with respect to NRF2 inhibition and that DPP3 overexpression in the presence of these mutants further promotes NRF2 activation.

  • Transcriptome Profiling of Human Oocytes Experiencing Recurrent Total
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptome profling of human oocytes experiencing recurrent total fertilization failure Received: 11 July 2018 Lun Suo1, Yu xiao Zhou2, Li ling Jia2, Hai bo Wu1, Jin Zheng2, Qi feng Lyu1, Li hua Sun1, Accepted: 16 November 2018 Han Sun3 & Yan ping Kuang1 Published: xx xx xxxx There exist some patients who face recurrent total fertilization failure during assisted reproduction treatment, but the pathological mechanism underlying is elusive. Here, by using sc-RNA-seq method, the transcriptome profles of ten abnormally fertilized zygotes were assessed, including fve zygotes from one patient with recurrent Poly-PN zygotes, and fve zygotes from a patient with pronuclear fusion failure. Four zygotes with three pronuclear (Tri-PN) were collected from four diferent patients as controls. After that, we identifed 951 and 1697 signifcantly diferentially expressed genes (SDEGs) in Poly-PN and PN arrest zygotes, respectively as compared with the control group. KEGG analyses indicated down regulated genes in the Poly-PN group included oocyte meiosis related genes, such as PPP2R1B, YWHAZ, MAD2L1, SPDYC, SKP1 and CDC27, together with genes associated with RNA processing, such as SF3B1, LOC645691, MAGOHB, PHF5A, PRPF18, DDX5, THOC1 and BAT1. In contrast, down regulated genes in the PN arrest group, included cell cycle genes, such as E2F4, DBF4, YWHAB, SKP2, CDC23, SMC3, CDC25A, CCND3, BUB1B, MDM2, CCNA2 and CDC7, together with homologous recombination related genes, such as NBN, XRCC3, SHFM1, RAD54B and RAD51. Thus, our work provides a better understanding of transcriptome profles underlying RTFF, although it based on a limited number of patients. Despite nearly forty years of scientifc and clinical advance in the feld of assisted reproduction, there still exist some rarely patients, even though rarely occur, who have to face recurrent total fertilization failure (RTFF) with- out any visual precautionary indicator1–3, even some of them could be rescued by assisted oocyte activation4.
