Neutralization of KIT Oncogenic Signaling in Leukemia with Antibodies Targeting KIT Membrane Proximal Domain 5.
KIT is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor whose ligand stem cell factor (SCF) triggers homodimerization and activation of downstream effector pathways involved in cell survival, proliferation, homing, or differentiation. KIT-activating mutations are major oncogenic drivers in subsets of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in mast cell leukemia, and in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The ...
متن کاملBiological insertion of computationally designed short transmembrane segments
The great majority of helical membrane proteins are inserted co-translationally into the ER membrane through a continuous ribosome-translocon channel. The efficiency of membrane insertion depends on transmembrane (TM) helix amino acid composition, the helix length and the position of the amino acids within the helix. In this work, we conducted a computational analysis of the composition and loc...
متن کاملTransformation of the signal peptide/membrane anchor domain of a type II transmembrane protein into a cleavable signal peptide.
Rabbit neutral endopeptidase-24.11 is a type II transmembrane protein with a 27-amino acid residue positively charged NH2-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a 23-amino acid residue hydrophobic signal peptide/membrane anchor domain, and a large catalytic COOH-terminal domain exposed on the exoplasmic side of the membrane. In order to study the mechanism of membrane anchoring of neutral endopeptidase-2...
متن کاملRepositioning Antimicrobial Agent Pentamidine as a Disruptor of the Lateral Interactions of Transmembrane Domain 5 of EBV Latent Membrane Protein 1
The lateral transmembrane protein-protein interactions (PPI) have been regarded as "undruggable" despite their importance in many essential biological processes. The homo-trimerization of transmembrane domain 5 (TMD-5) of latent membrane protein 1 (LMP-1) is critical for the constitutive oncogenic activation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Herein we repurpose the antimicrobial agent pentamidin...
متن کاملThe ER membrane protein complex is a transmembrane domain insertase.
Insertion of proteins into membranes is an essential cellular process. The extensive biophysical and topological diversity of membrane proteins necessitates multiple insertion pathways that remain incompletely defined. Here we found that known membrane insertion pathways fail to effectively engage tail-anchored membrane proteins with moderately hydrophobic transmembrane domains. These proteins ...
