Functional interaction between co-expressed MAGE-A proteins
MAGE-A (Melanoma Antigen Genes-A) are tumor-associated proteins with expression in a broad spectrum of human tumors and normal germ cells. MAGE-A gene expression and function are being increasingly investigated to better understand the mechanisms by which MAGE proteins collaborate in tumorigenesis and whether their detection could be useful for disease prognosis purposes. Alterations in epigene...
متن کاملA functional interaction between sprouty proteins and caveolin-1.
Growth factor-mediated signal transduction cascades can be regulated spatio-temporally by signaling modulators, such as Sprouty proteins. The four mammalian Sprouty family members are palmitoylated phosphoproteins that can attenuate or potentiate numerous growth factor-induced signaling pathways. Previously, we have shown that Sprouty-1 and Sprouty-2 associate with Caveolin-1, the major structu...
متن کاملSingle mage gene in the chicken genome encodes CMage, a protein with functional similarities to mammalian type II Mage proteins.
In mammals, the type II melanoma antigen (Mage) protein family is constituted by at least 10 closely related members that are expressed in different tissues, including the nervous system. These proteins are believed to regulate cell cycle withdrawal, neuronal differentiation, and apoptosis. However, the analysis of their specific function has been complicated by functional redundancy. In accord...
متن کاملFunctional interaction between paramyxovirus fusion and attachment proteins.
Paramyxovirinae envelope glycoproteins constitute a premier model to dissect how specific and dynamic interactions in multisubunit membrane protein complexes can control deep-seated conformational rearrangements. However, individual residues that determine reciprocal specificity of the viral attachment and fusion (F) proteins have not been identified. We have developed an assay based on a pair ...
متن کاملMage-b4, a novel melanoma antigen (MAGE) gene specifically expressed during germ cell differentiation.
The MAGE genes were initially isolated from different kinds of tumors, and based on their virtually exclusive tumor-specific expression in adult tissues, they have been used as targets for cancer immunotherapy. However, although a large number of MAGE genes have now been identified and extensively studied in tumors of various origin, their functions in normal cells remain unknown. Here we descr...
