Cbl proteins (Cbl, Cbl-b and Cbl-c) are ubiquitin ligases that are critical regulators of tyrosine kinase signaling. In this study we identify a new Cbl-c interacting protein, Hydrogen peroxide Induced Construct 5 (Hic-5). The two proteins interact through a novel interaction mediated by the RING finger of Cbl-c and the LIM2 domain of Hic-5. Further, this interaction is mediated and dependent o...

In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), mutational activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) Flt3 is frequently involved in leukemic transformation. However, little is known about a possible role of highly expressed wild-type Flt3 in AML. The proto-oncogene c-Cbl is an important regulator of RTK signaling, acting through its ubiquitin ligase activity and as a platform for several signaling adap...

Catabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids plays an important role in the development of cheese flavor. During ripening, cystathionine beta-lyase (CBL) is believed to contribute to the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide. However, the role of CBL in the generation of VSCs from the catabolism of specific sulfur-containing amino acids is not ...

Analogues of cyanocobalamin (CN-Cbl), with functional groups attached to either the various propionamide groups of the corrin ring or to the ribose-nucleotide linker arm, have been evaluated in a cobalamin (Cbl)-dependent in vitro cell growth assay. In this bioassay, CN-Cbl supported, in a dose-dependent manner, the growth of the murine lymphoma BW5147 and the Cbl carrier protein, human apo-tra...

Engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex induces a rapid increase in the activities of Src-family and Syk/Zap-70-family kinases [1] [2]. These activated kinases then induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple intracellular proteins, eventually leading to T-cell activation. One of the prominent substrates for these kinases is the adaptor protein Cbl [3] and recent studies suggest...

Obesity leads to adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance and diabetes. Adipose tissue produces adipokines that contribute to regulate insulin sensitivity. In turn, insulin stimulates the production and release of some adipokines. Casitas-b-lymphoma proteins (c-Cbl, Cbl-b and Cbl3) are intracellular adaptor signalling proteins that are rapidly phosphorylated by activation of tyrosine kina...

The E3 ubiquitin ligase cbl-b has been identified as an important gatekeeper limiting T cell activation and more recently also NK cell activation. Hence, cbl-b deficient NK cells displayed stronger anti-tumor responses and this has been linked to a key role of cbl-b for modulation of TAMreceptors. However, in T cells cbl-b has been described to interact with different key regulators of T cell r...

In vitro studies indicate that [(57)Co]cobalamin (Cbl) is preferentially bound to salivary R protein as opposed to intrinsic factor (IF) and that [(57)Co]Cbl bound to R protein is not transferred to IF at either pH 2 or pH 8. Incubation of R protein-[(57)Co]Cbl with pancreatic proteases causes a partial degradation of the R protein moiety and a rapid transfer of [(57)Co]Cbl to IF. We have postu...
