Family with sequence similarity 107: A family of stress responsive small proteins with diverse functions in cancer and the nervous system (Review)

چکیده
Under conditions of acute stress, rapid adaptation is crucial for maximizing biological survival. The responses to environmental stress are often complex, involving numerous genes and integrating events at the cellular and organismal levels. The heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of highly conserved proteins that play critical roles in maintaining cell homeostasis and protecting cells under chronic and acute stress conditions. The genes for these stress-responding proteins are widely distributed in organisms, tissues and cells. HSPs participate in a variety of physiological processes and are associated with various types of disease. In this review, we focused on family with sequence similarity 107 (FAM107), a novel unique protein family that exhibits functional similarity with HSPs during the cellular stress response. This review aimed to summarize the biological properties of FAM107 in cancer and the nervous system.

P-201: The Role of P53 Family Members in Infertility
Background: P53, p63, and p73 transcription factors which are belong to The p53 family, are conserved during evolution. They have important roles in many molecular and cellular functions, including tumor suppression, the development of epithelial cell layers, and the development of central nervous system and immune system. Studies show these molecules also have role in maintaining the genomic i...
متن کاملThe roles of EPIYA sequence to perturb the cellular signaling pathways and cancer risk
Abstract It was shown that several pathogenic bacterial effector proteins contain the Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) or a similar sequence. These bacterial EPIYA effectors are delivered into host cell via type III or IV secretion system, where they undergo tyrosine phosphorylation at the EPIYA sequences, which triggers interaction with multiple host cell SH2 domain-containing proteins and thereby...

Background and Objectives: Nervous system damage causes many economic costs annually. Although many efforts have been made to treat these injuries, nerves are not yet completely regenerated. Primary damage to the nervous system is followed by a series of events such as inflammation, increased oxidative stress, and the spread of damage. Oxidative stress caused by an imbalance between the product...

Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...

Lung cancer is a very aggressive and most deadly cancer in both men and women. Lung cancer is divided into two types of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is divided into 3 subgroups: adenocarcinoma (AC), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and large cell carcinoma (LCC). Dopamine is involved in controlling motions, cognition, emotions, memory and reward mech...
