Review Article 14-3-3 proteins in neurological disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
14-3-3 proteins were originally discovered as a family of proteins that are highly expressed in the brain. Through interactions with a multitude of binding partners, 14-3-3 proteins impact many aspects of brain function including neural signaling, neuronal development and neuroprotection. Although much remains to be learned and understood, 14-3-3 proteins have been implicated in a variety of neurological disorders based on evidence from both clinical and laboratory studies. Here we will review previous and more recent research that has helped us understand the roles of 14-3-3 proteins in both neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Sesterin as a biomolecule
Sestrins (Sesns), highly conserved stress-inducing metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various harmful stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play a pivotal role...
متن کاملPositive 14-3-3 and tau proteins in a sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease case and a brief perspective of prion diseases in Colombia.
Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative disorders occurring worldwide and affecting both humans and animals. Herein, we present the case of a patient diagnosed with definite sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Cali, Colombia. Besides neurological examination, 14-3-3 and tau proteins were valuable tools supporting the diagnosis. We also present a brief perspective of the prion diseases repor...

متن کاملInteraction between Rho GTPases and 14-3-3 Proteins
The Rho GTPase family accounts for as many as 20 members. Among them, the archetypes RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 have been the most well-characterized. Like all members of the small GTPases superfamily, Rho proteins act as molecular switches to control cellular processes by cycling between active, GTP-bound and inactive, GDP-bound states. The 14-3-3 family proteins comprise seven isoforms. They exist...
متن کاملUnlocking the code of 14-3-3.
One of the most striking 'rags to riches' stories in the protein world is that of 14-3-3, originally identified in 1967 as merely an abundant brain protein. The first clues that 14-3-3 would play an important role in cell biology came almost 25 years later when it was found to interact with various proto-oncogene proteins and signaling proteins. The subsequent identification of 14-3-3 as a phos...
