The Fhit tumor suppressor protein regulates the intracellular concentration of diadenosine triphosphate but not diadenosine tetraphosphate.
To determine the role of the FHIT tumor suppressor gene product, a diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P3-triphosphate (Ap3A) hydrolase, in the regulation of the concentration of Ap3A and diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) in vivo, the levels of the adenosine(5')triphospho(5')nucleoside (Ap3N) and adenosine(5')tetraphospho(5')nucleoside (Ap4N) families were measured by luminometry in a number o...
متن کاملIdentification of a tumor-suppressive human-specific microRNA within the FHIT tumor-suppressor gene.
Loss or attenuated expression of the tumor-suppressor gene FHIT is associated paradoxically with poor progression of human tumors. Fhit promotes apoptosis and regulates reactive oxygen species; however, the mechanism by which Fhit inhibits tumor growth in animals remains unclear. In this study, we used a multidisciplinary approach based on bioinformatics, small RNA library screening, human tiss...
متن کاملcomputational survey of fhit, a putative human tumor suppressor, truncates structure
background: fragile histidine triad protein (fhit), as a known tumor suppressor protein, has been proposed to play crucial role in inhibiting p53 degradation by mdm2. studies have confirmed fhit interaction with p53 or mdm2, although functional interacting domains of fhit with mdm2 and/or p53 are not completely defined. thus, through determining the significant structural interacting domains of...
متن کاملSelective monitoring of the enzymatic activity of the tumor suppressor Fhit.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Functional inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins, mainly by mutations in the corresponding genes, is a key event in cancer development. The fragile histidine triade protein (Fhit) is a tumor suppressor that is frequently affected in different cancer types. Fhit possesses diadenosine triphosphate hydrolase activity, but although reduction of its ...
متن کاملFrequent abnormalities of the putative tumor suppressor gene FHIT at 3p14.2 in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines.
The FHIT gene is localized on chromosome 3p14, a region including a tumor cell-specific, commonly deleted region. To determine the role of the FHIT gene in pancreatic carcinogenesis, 14 pancreatic carcinoma cell lines were analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR and exon-specific PCR amplification of genomic DNA. The full-length FHIT transcript was lost in 70% of the pancreatic carcinoma cell lin...
