Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein Overexpression Correlates with Protein Kinase A Activation in Adrenocortical Adenoma
The association of pathological features of cortisol-producing adrenocortical adenomas (ACAs) with somatic driver mutations and their molecular classification remain unclear. In this study, we explored the association between steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) expression and the driver mutations activating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) signaling to iden...
متن کاملCholesterol binding is a prerequisite for the activity of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR).
Steroidogenesis depends on the delivery of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane by StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein). However, the mechanism by which StAR binds to cholesterol and its importance in cholesterol transport are under debate. According to our proposed molecular model, StAR possesses a hydrophobic cavity, which can accommodate one cholesterol mol...
متن کاملProtein kinase A-dependent synergism between GATA factors and the nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1, regulates human aromatase (CYP19) PII promoter activity in breast cancer cells.
Cancers, including that of the breast, are the result of multiple contributing factors including aberrant gene expression. Indeed, the CYP19 gene encoding P450 aromatase, the key enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis, is up-regulated in breast tumors predominantly via the cAMP-responsive gonad-type PII promoter, ultimately leading to increased intratumoral estrogen production and tumor growth. Thus,...
متن کاملProtein Kinase A Regulates Molecular Chaperone Transcription and Protein Aggregation
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) regulates one of the major pathways of protein quality control and is essential for deterrence of protein-folding disorders, particularly in neuronal cells. However, HSF1 activity declines with age, a change that may open the door to progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. We have investigated mechanisms of HSF1 regulation that may bec...
متن کاملcAMP-stimulated transcription of DGKθ requires steroidogenic factor 1 and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1.
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK)θ is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates diacylglycerol to form phosphatidic acid (PA). We have previously shown that PA is a ligand for the nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) and that cAMP-stimulated expression of SF1 target genes requires DGKθ. In this study, we sought to investigate the role of cAMP signaling in regulating DGKθ gene expression. Real time ...
