Protein intrinsic disorder and network connectivity. The case of 14-3-3 proteins
The understanding of networks is a common goal of an unprecedented array of traditional disciplines. One of the protein network properties most influenced by the structural contents of its nodes is the inter-connectivity. Recent studies in which structural information was included into the topological analysis of protein networks revealed that the content of intrinsic disorder in the nodes coul...
متن کاملThe 14-3-3 proteins
So what’s so interesting about them? In 1996 14-3-3 was found to bind to a variety of oncoproteins including Raf-1, polyoma middle T, and Bcr-Abl. Since then the 14-3-3 proteins have been shown to bind to a wide variety of proteins involved in signal transduction, cell cycle and apoptosis. These proteins include Cdc25, NFAT, Bad, Cbl, A20, PI 3-kinase, IRS-1, MEKK, p130Cas, glucocorticoid recep...
متن کامل14-3-3 proteins in apoptosis.
The once obscure members of the 14-3-3 protein family play significant roles in the determination of cell fate. By inhibiting the pro-apoptotic BAD (Bcl-2-antagonist of cell death) and the transcription factor FKHRL-1, 14-3-3 displays important anti-apoptotic characteristics. To date, five points of interaction of 14-3-3 with the apoptotic machinery have been identified. How these interactions ...
متن کاملEvolutionary constraints on hub and non-hub proteins in human protein interaction network: insight from protein connectivity and intrinsic disorder.
It has been claimed that proteins with more interacting partners (hubs) are structurally more disordered and have a slow evolutionary rate. Here, in this paper we analyzed the evolutionary rate and structural disorderness of human hub and non-hub proteins present/absent in protein complexes. We observed that both non-hub and hub proteins present in protein complexes, are characterized by high s...
متن کاملThe role of 14-3-3 proteins in gynecological tumors.
A large family of highly conserved cellular 14-3-3 proteins plays key roles in the regulation of central physiological pathways such as metabolism, protein trafficking, signal transduction, apoptosis and regulation of cell cycle. The involvement of these proteins in the regulation of various tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes points to their potential role in human cancer. According to some, ...
