DOCK4, a GTPase Activator, Is Disrupted during Tumorigenesis
We used representational difference analysis to identify homozygous genomic deletions selected during tumor progression in the mouse NF2 and TP53 tumor model. We describe a deletion targeting DOCK4, a member of the CDM gene family encoding regulators of small GTPases. DOCK4 specifically activates Rap GTPase, enhancing the formation of adherens junctions. DOCK4 mutations are present in a subset ...
متن کاملMiz1 Is a Critical Repressor of cdkn1a during Skin Tumorigenesis
The transcription factor Miz1 forms repressive DNA-binding complexes with the Myc, Gfi-1 and Bcl-6 oncoproteins. Known target genes of these complexes encode the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) cdkn2b (p15(Ink4)), cdkn1a (p21(Cip1)), and cdkn1c (p57(Kip2)). Whether Miz1-mediated repression is important for control of cell proliferation in vivo and for tumor formation is unknown. Here ...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (Hai-1/Spint1) is a suppressor of intestinal tumorigenesis
Running title: HAI-1 suppresses intestinal tumorigenesis
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 is a suppressor of intestinal tumorigenesis.
Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1/SPINT1) is a membrane-bound serine protease inhibitor expressed on the surface of epithelial cells. Although HAI-1/SPINT1 is abundantly expressed in the intestinal epithelium, its role in intestinal tumorigenesis is not known. In this study, we investigated the role of Hai-1/Spint1 in intestinal tumorigenesis using mouse models. The mem...
متن کاملRab17, a novel small GTPase, is specific for epithelial cells and is induced during cell polarization
The rab subfamily of small GTPases has been demonstrated to play an important role in the regulation of membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells. Compared with nonpolarized cells, epithelial cells have distinct apical and basolateral transport pathways which need to be separately regulated. This raises the question whether epithelial cells require specific rab proteins. However, all rab proteins id...
