A phosphorylated cytoplasmic autoantigen, GW182, associates with a unique population of human mRNAs within novel cytoplasmic speckles.
A novel human cellular structure has been identified that contains a unique autoimmune antigen and multiple messenger RNAs. This complex was discovered using an autoimmune serum from a patient with motor and sensory neuropathy and contains a protein of 182 kDa. The gene and cDNA encoding the protein indicated an open reading frame with glycine-tryptophan (GW) repeats and a single RNA recognitio...
متن کاملA Novel Cytoplasmic Protein with RNA-binding Motifs Is an Autoantigen in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), autoantibodies to intracellular antigens are detected in 30-40% of patients. Patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis develop HCC, and when this occurs, some patients exhibit autoantibodies of new specificities. It has been suggested that these novel autoantibody responses may be immune system reactions to proteins involved in transformation-associat...
متن کاملTranslational Regulation of Cytoplasmic mRNAs.
Translation of the coding potential of a messenger RNA into a protein molecule is a fundamental process in all living cells and consumes a large fraction of metabolites and energy resources in growing cells. Moreover, translation has emerged as an important control point in the regulation of gene expression. At the level of gene regulation, translational control is utilized to support the speci...
متن کاملA Novel Vector for Expression/Secretion of Properly Folded Eukaryotic Proteins: a Comparative Study on Cytoplasmic and Periplasmic Expression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor in E. coli
Expression of eukaryotic proteins in E. coli often results in their aggregation. Proper folding and solubility of therapeutical proteins are the pre-requisite for their bioactivity. This is not achieved in cytoplasmic expression in E. coli because of the absence of disulfide bonds formation. A novel expression/secretion vector was constructed which exploited β-lactamase signal sequence to trans...
متن کاملNUDEL Is a Novel Cdk5 Substrate that Associates with LIS1 and Cytoplasmic Dynein
Disruption of one allele of the LIS1 gene causes a severe developmental brain abnormality, type I lissencephaly. In Aspergillus nidulans, the LIS1 homolog, NUDF, and cytoplasmic dynein are genetically linked and regulate nuclear movements during hyphal growth. Recently, we demonstrated that mammalian LIS1 regulates dynein functions. Here we characterize NUDEL, a novel LIS1-interacting protein w...
