Invertebrates Have Only One Homologue of GAB Gene

GRB2-associated-binding protein (GAB) gene family includes four homologous (paralogous) namely GAB1, GAB2, GAB3 and GAB4. Collectively, proteins encoded by GAB family genes are associated with variety of functions, of these some important are: development of heart and epidermis, regulation of innate immune response (GAB1), cell proliferation and tyrosine kinase signalling (GAB2), macrophage differentiation (GAB3) and integrin mediated signalling (GAB4) Expansion of Gene Family XKR3 GPM6BPGPM6BP MTND1PMTND1P IGKV2PIGKV2P IGKV1PIGKV1P IL9RP CCECR7ECR7 RPL32RPL32P62P62 UC CECR1 at the Root of Greater Ch#22Ch#22 GAB4GAB4 Apes By Gene Duplication UC HSFY1PHSFY1P ZF4ZF402P02P IGKV2PIGKV2P IGKV3PIGKV3P VN1R9PVN1R9P IL17RAIL17RA CECR6 CECR5 RPL32P5RPL32R P5 AAMDAAMDCC INTS4 THRTHRSPSP ALALG8G8 USP35U ZF75CPZF75CP UC TENM4 MIR708MIR708 ORCPORCP Ch#11Ch#11 GAB2GAB2 RRPS20P27PS20P27 RRPL21P95PL21P95 KKCTD14CTD14 NADNADUFC2UFC2 KKCTD21CTD21 UC NARS2NARS2 UC MIR5579MIR5579 UC Expansion of ZF330ZF330 UC LSM3P4LSM3P4 INPP4B USP38USP38 MIR3139MIR3139 RPSAP36RPSAP36 GUSBP5GUSBP5 EK1PEK1P SSFWWPFWWP Gene Family at the CCh#4h#4# GAB1GAB1 Root of RNF150RNF150 UC IL15 UC LysMPLysMP RPS2P20RPS2P20 SMARCA5SMARCA5 FREM3 GGYPEYPE UC Vertebrates By Genome G6PD CTAG1ACTAG1A ATF4P1ATF4P1 IKBKGP1IKBKGP1 OR3B1POR3B1P DKC1 MIR664bMIR664b MPP1 SMIM9 H2AFB Duplication CCh#Xh#X# GAB3GAB3 FAM3A ATF4P2 CTAG1BCTAG1B FAM223BFAM223B CTAG2CTAG2 SNORA36ASNORA36A SNORA56SNORA56 HMGN1PHMGN1P CF8CF8 MIR1184-1MIR1184-1 CComparisonomparison ooff genomicgenomic Expansion of Gene Protein codincodingg ggenesenes ((nonnon GGAB)AB) Extensive ggeneene deadeathth sysynteniesntenies ooff human GABGAB Family at the Root of PseudogenesPseudogenes rereflectingflecting ggeneene death GeneGene duplication event Vertebrates By Gene genegene ffamilyamily paraloparaloguesgues Duplication RNARNA codincodingg ggenesenes Nucleotide changes/site GenomeGenome duplication event hhighlightsighlights differentdifferent reflect rate of UncharacterizedUncharacterized genesgenes IntraIntra chromosomalchromosomal mmodesodes ooff ggeneene birth and evolution ssegmentalegmental duplication event deadeathth Protein Domains Gene Partner Proteins Expression Interactions GAB4 (574) GAB2 (676) Structure of GAB1 (694) PH domain GAB3 (586) Lineal ancestry PH domains are present in between 3/4 vertebrate several evolutionary GAB genes and single unrelated proteins (GAB, invertebrate GAB gene BTK, OSBP, ARF etc) Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain Proline rich domain SH3 binding sites implicating the possibility of origin of genes by domain Invertebrates have only one homologue of GAB gene The differences in gene expression, partner protein interactions acquisition (sequentially similar to GAB) suggesting expansion of and protein domain architecture suggest the sub-neo- GAB genes with the origin of vertebrates functionalization after expansion in the GAB gene family .

Abstract SHP2 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that normally potentiates intracellular signaling by growth factors, antigen receptors, and some cytokines; it is frequently mutated in childhood leukemias and other cancers. Here, we examine the role of SHP2 in the responses of breast cancer cells to EGF by monitoring phosphoproteome dynamics when SHP2 is allosterically inhibited by the small molecule SHP099.

Digital Gene Expression Profiling of Primary Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (2012) 26, 1218 --1227 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0887-6924/12 www.nature.com/leu ORIGINAL ARTICLE Digital gene expression profiling of primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells J Nordlund1, A Kiialainen1,9, O Karlberg1, EC Berglund1,HGo¨ ransson-Kultima2, M Sønderkær3, KL Nielsen3, MG Gustafsson2, M Behrendtz4, E Forestier5, M Perkkio¨ 6,SSo¨ derha¨ll7,GLo¨ nnerholm8 and A-C Syva¨nen1 We determined the genome-wide digital gene expression (DGE) profiles of primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from 21 patients taking advantage of ‘second-generation’ sequencing technology. Patients included in this study represent four cytogenetically distinct subtypes of B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL and T-cell lineage ALL (T-ALL). The robustness of DGE combined with supervised classification by nearest shrunken centroids (NSC) was validated experimentally and by comparison with published expression data for large sets of ALL samples. Genes that were differentially expressed between BCP ALL subtypes were enriched to distinct signaling pathways with dic(9;20) enriched to TP53 signaling, t(9;22) to interferon signaling, as well as high hyperdiploidy and t(12;21) to apoptosis signaling. We also observed antisense tags expressed from the non-coding strand of B50% of annotated genes, many of which were expressed in a subtype-specific pattern. Antisense tags from 17 gene regions unambiguously discriminated between the BCP ALL and T-ALL subtypes, and antisense tags from 76 gene regions discriminated between the 4 BCP subtypes. We observed a significant overlap of gene regions with alternative polyadenylation and antisense transcription (Po1 Â 10À15). Our study using DGE profiling provided new insights into the RNA expression patterns in ALL cells.

Allostery Mediates Ligand Binding to Grb2 Adaptor in a Mutually Exclusive Manner Caleb B
Research Article Received: 20 August 2012, Revised: 01 October 2012, Accepted: 12 November 2012, Published online in Wiley Online Library: 2012 (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/jmr.2256 Allostery mediates ligand binding to Grb2 adaptor in a mutually exclusive manner Caleb B. McDonald, Jimmy El Hokayem, Nawal Zafar, Jordan E. Balke, Vikas Bhat, David C. Mikles, Brian J. Deegan, Kenneth L. Seldeen and Amjad Farooq* Allostery plays a key role in dictating the stoichiometry and thermodynamics of multi-protein complexes driving a plethora of cellular processes central to health and disease. Herein, using various biophysical tools, we demonstrate that although Sos1 nucleotide exchange factor and Gab1 docking protein recognize two non-overlapping sites within the Grb2 adaptor, allostery promotes the formation of two distinct pools of Grb2–Sos1 and Grb2–Gab1 binary signaling complexes in concert in lieu of a composite Sos1–Grb2–Gab1 ternary complex. Of particular interest is the observation that the binding of Sos1 to the nSH3 domain within Grb2 sterically blocks the binding of Gab1 to the cSH3 domain and vice versa in a mutually exclusive manner. Importantly, the formation of both the Grb2–Sos1 and Grb2–Gab1 binary complexes is governed by a stoichiometry of 2:1, whereby the respective SH3 domains within Grb2 homodimer bind to Sos1 and Gab1 via multivalent interactions. Collectively, our study sheds new light on the role of allostery in mediating cellular signaling machinery. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Keywords: Multivalent

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The Grb-2 associated binder (Gab) family of scaffolding/adaptor/docking proteins is a group of three molecules with significant roles in cytokine receptor signaling. Gabs possess structural motifs for phosphorylation-dependent receptor recruitment, Grb2 binding, and activation of downstream signaling pathways through p85 and SHP-2. In addition, Gabs participate in hematopoiesis and regulation of immune response which can be aberrantly activated in cancer and inflammation. The multifunctionality of Gab adapters might suggest that they would be too difficult to consider as candidates for “targeted” therapy. However, the one drug/one target approach is giving way to the concept of one drug/multiple target approach since few cancers are addicted to a single signaling molecule for survival and combination drug therapies can be problematic.

Patil1,6, Raja Sekhar Nirujogi1,7, Bipin Nair5, Premendu Prakash Mathur6, T. S. Keshava Prasad1,3,8, Harsha Gowda1,3* and Aditi Chatterjee1,3* Abstract Background: Curcumin, derived from the rhizome Curcuma longa, is a natural anti-cancer agent and has been shown to inhibit proliferation and survival of tumor cells. Although the anti-cancer effects of curcumin are well estab- lished, detailed understanding of the signaling pathways altered by curcumin is still lacking. In this study, we carried out SILAC-based quantitative proteomic analysis of a HNSCC cell line (CAL 27) to investigate tyrosine signaling in response to curcumin. Results: Using high resolution Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid Fourier transform mass spectrometer, we identified 627 phos- photyrosine sites mapping to 359 proteins. We observed alterations in the level of phosphorylation of 304 sites cor- responding to 197 proteins upon curcumin treatment. We report here for the first time, curcumin-induced alterations in the phosphorylation of several kinases including TNK2, FRK, AXL, MAPK12 and phosphatases such as PTPN6, PTPRK, and INPPL1 among others. Pathway analysis revealed that the proteins differentially phosphorylated in response to curcumin are known to be involved in focal adhesion kinase signaling and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Conclusions: The study indicates that curcumin may regulate cellular processes such as proliferation and migration through perturbation of the focal adhesion kinase pathway.
