A Proline/Arginine-Rich End Leucine-Rich Repeat Protein (PRELP) Variant Is Uniquely Expressed in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells
Proline/arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein (PRELP) belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family, normally expressed in extracellular matrix of collagen-rich tissues. We have previously reported on another SLRP, fibromodulin (FMOD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). PRELP is structurally similar to FMOD with adjacent localization on chromosome 1 (1q32...
متن کاملOpticin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan, is uniquely expressed and translocated to the nucleus of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
BACKGROUND Opticin (OPTC) is a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family and is localized particularly in certain extracellular matrices. We have previously reported the unique expression of another SLRP, fibromodulin (FMOD) in the leukemic cells of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). OPTC is located in the same region as FMOD on chromosome 1 (1q32.1). Cluster up...
متن کاملzfNLRR, a novel leucine-rich repeat protein is preferentially expressed during regeneration in zebrafish.
zfNLRR is a novel transmembrane protein that is most prominently expressed during regeneration of the zebrafish central nervous system. Retinal ganglion cells and descending spinal cord neurons strongly increase zfNLRR mRNA levels after axotomy in the adult. In contrast, during development expression is hardly detectable and is restricted to a few sensory systems. In the adult brain, zfNLRR mRN...
متن کاملThe leucine-rich repeat protein PRELP binds fibroblast cell-surface proteoglycans and enhances focal adhesion formation.
PRELP (proline/arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein) is a member of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family of extracellular matrix proteins in connective tissue. In contrast with other members of the family, the N-terminal domain of PRELP has a high content of proline and positively charged amino acids. This domain has previously been shown to bind chondrocytes and to inhibit osteoclast ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the human proline/arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein (PRELP) gene promoter and identification of a repressor element.
The 5'-flanking region of the human proline/arginine-rich end leucine-rich repeat protein (PRELP) gene has been characterized for both promoter and repressor activity by using a variety of reporter gene constructs and transient transfection into chondrocytes or fibroblasts. The human PRELP gene lacks a TATA box, and in its absence a Sp1-binding site residing 29 bp upstream of the transcription ...
