p75NTR Is Positively Promiscuous Novel Partners and New Insights
نویسنده
چکیده
Although identified almost 20 years ago, the precise physiological role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) has remained elusive. Recent studies have revealed that p75NTR is a component of three distinct receptor platforms that bind different ligands and that, under differing circumstances, facilitate cell survival, cell death, or growth inhibition. These recent developments provide new insights into the functions of this enigmatic receptor.

p 75 NTR - The Promiscuous Receptor
The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) could bind a variety of proteins all with biological significance. While this receptor has no catalytic activities, and therefore influences cellular outcomes through protein-protein interactions, how it controls one cellular event over another remains to be deciphered. Alomone Labs offers a broad range of p75NTR related products, ranging from monoclonal t...
متن کاملEvolution of protein domain promiscuity in eukaryotes.
Numerous eukaryotic proteins contain multiple domains. Certain domains show a tendency to occur in diverse domain architectures and can be considered "promiscuous." These promiscuous domains are, typically, involved in protein-protein interactions and play crucial roles in interaction networks, particularly those that contribute to signal transduction. A systematic comparative-genomic analysis ...
متن کاملSystems-Wide Prediction of Enzyme Promiscuity Reveals a New Underground Alternative Route for Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate Production in E. coli
Recent insights suggest that non-specific and/or promiscuous enzymes are common and active across life. Understanding the role of such enzymes is an important open question in biology. Here we develop a genome-wide method, PROPER, that uses a permissive PSI-BLAST approach to predict promiscuous activities of metabolic genes. Enzyme promiscuity is typically studied experimentally using multicopy...
متن کاملp75NTR-dependent Rac1 activation requires receptor cleavage and activation of an NRAGE and NEDD9 signaling cascade.
The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR, also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 16) is implicated in diverse cellular events, but fundamental aspects of its signaling mechanisms remain unclear. To address this, we have established a novel bioassay to characterize signaling cascades activated by p75NTR. We show that in COS7 cells, p75NTR expression causes a large increase ...
متن کاملEnergetic determinants of protein binding specificity: insights into protein interaction networks.
One of the challenges of the postgenomic era is to provide a more realistic representation of cellular processes by combining a systems biology description of functional networks with information on their interacting components. Here we carried out a systematic large-scale computational study on a structural protein-protein interaction network dataset in order to dissect thermodynamic character...
