UBXD Proteins: A Family of Proteins with Diverse Functions in Cancer
The UBXD family is a diverse group of UBX (ubiquitin-regulatory X) domain-containing proteins in mammalian cells. Members of this family contain a UBX domain typically located at the carboxyl-terminal of the protein. In contrast to the UBX domain shared by all members of UBXD family, the amino-terminal domains are diverse and appear to carry out different roles in a subcellular localization-dep...
متن کاملMammalian patatin domain containing proteins: a family with diverse lipolytic activities involved in multiple biological functions.
The human genome expresses nine patatin-like phospholipase domain containing proteins (PNPLA1-9). Members of this family share a protein domain discovered initially in patatin, the most abundant protein of the potato tuber. Patatin is a lipid hydrolase with an unusual folding topology that differs from classical lipases. Mammalian PNPLAs include lipid hydrolases with specificities for diverse s...
متن کاملNSP-encoded reticulons, neuroendocrine proteins of a novel gene family associated with membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The novel NSP gene was previously shown to encode, among a variety of neuroendocrine cell types, two 3'-overlapping transcripts, a 3.4 kb one for NSP-A (776 amino acids) and a 1.8 kb one for NSP-C (208 amino acids). The deduced proteins, which were predicted to possess distinct amino-terminal regions, appeared to exhibit some architectural resemblance to known neuroendocrine proteins. In this p...
متن کاملDiverse functions within the IAP family.
Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are a diverse group of signaling molecules that function in a wide range of cellular roles, from the inhibition of caspases to the promotion of cell-cycle progression. These diverse functions may well be linked to the many different domains that are contained within different proteins in the family. IAP family members were first described as inhibitors of apoptosi...
