Loss of Pin1 function in the mouse causes phenotypes resembling cyclin D1-null phenotypes.
Phosphorylation of proteins on serine/threonine residues preceding proline is a key signaling mechanism. The conformation and function of a subset of these phosphorylated proteins is regulated by the prolyl isomerase Pin1 through isomerization of phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro bonds. Although young Pin1(-/-) mice have been previously shown to develop normally, we show here that they displayed a ran...
متن کاملTRAP1 rescues PINK1 loss-of-function phenotypes.
PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that is localized to mitochondria. It protects cells from oxidative stress by suppressing mitochondrial cytochrome c release, thereby preventing cell death. Mutations in Pink1 cause early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Consistently, mitochondrial function is impaired in Pink1-linked PD patients and model systems. Previously, in vitro a...
متن کاملPartial loss of TDP-43 function causes phenotypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurological disease that causes motor neuron degeneration, progressive motor dysfunction, paralysis, and death. Although multiple causes have been identified for this disease, >95% of ALS cases show aggregation of transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) accompanied by its nuclear depletion. Therefore, the TDP-43 pathology may be a conver...
متن کاملPin1 contributes to cervical tumorigenesis by regulating cyclin D1 expression.
The prolyl isomerase Pin1, which specifically catalyzes conformational changes in certain proline-directed phosphorylation sites, is thought to be a critical catalyst for multiple oncogenic pathways. However, little is known about the role of Pin1 in human cervical cancer. Our previous study showed that Pin1 was overexpressed in cervical cancer tissues as well as cell lines. In this study, whet...
متن کاملLoss of gene function and evolution of human phenotypes
Humans have acquired many distinct evolutionary traits after the human-chimpanzee divergence. These phenotypes have resulted from genetic changes that occurred in the human genome and were retained by natural selection. Comparative primate genome analyses reveal that loss-of-function mutations are common in the human genome. Some of these gene inactivation events were revealed to be associated ...
