Description:
PIST (PDZ protein interacting specifically with TC10), also known as GOPC (golgi associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif containing), CAL or FIG, is a 462 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm, as well as to the membrane of the golgi apparatus and to the cell junction. Expressed ubiquitously and containing one PDZ (DHR) domain, PIST functions as a homooligomer that interacts with a variety of proteins and plays a role in intracellular protein trafficking and degradation. Additionally, PIST is thought to regulate ionic currents via membrane channel modification and may also play a role in autophagy. Chromosomal aberrations in the gene encoding PIST are found in glioblastoma multiform (GBM), a common and aggressive form of brain tumor, suggesting a role for mutated PIST in carcinogenesis. Three isoforms of PIST exist due to alternative splicing events.

Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a motif of eight cysteines. This gene product can exist either as a homodimer (PDGF-BB) or as a heterodimer with the platelet-derived growth factor alpha polypeptide (PDGF-AB), where the dimers are connected by disulfide bonds. Mutations in this gene are associated with meningioma. Reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 22 and 7, at sites where this gene and that for COL1A1 are located, are associated with a particular type of skin tumor called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans resulting from unregulated expression of growth factor. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008].

Description:
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) influence cell growth, differentiation, embryogenesis, immune response and cancer metastasis by networking information from the extracellular matrix to the cell. The four major families of cell adhesion molecules are immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily (calcium-independent transmembrane glycoproteins), integrins (transmembrane non-covalently linked heterodimers of Alpha and Beta subunits), calcium-dependent cadherins and divalent cation-dependent selectins. Regulation of neuronal synaptic adhesion by CAMs has proven important for learning and memory. Proper embryonic morphogenic development is also heavily dependent on the regulation of cell adhesion molecules. Neurotrimin (hNT) is a neural cell adhesion molecule localizing to the cell membrane, where it acts as a lipid-anchor. Neurotrimin belongs to the IgLON family of proteins, a member of the larger immunoglobulin superfamily.

Description:
The genus Salmonella is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The genus is composed of Gram-negative bacilli that are facultative and flagellated (motile). Salmonellae possess 3 major antigens; the "H" or flagellar antigen (phase 1 & 2), the "O" or somatic antigen (part of the LPS moiety) and the "Vi" or capsular antigen (referred to as "K" in other Enterobacteriaceae). Salmonellae also possess the LPS endotoxin characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. This LPS is composed of an "O" polysaccharide ("O" antigen) an "R" core and the endotoxic inner "Lipid A". Endotoxins evoke fever and can activate complement, kinin and clotting factors. The commonest Salmonella serotype associated with food borne infections in humans is Salmonella enteriditis and in particular phage type 4 (PT4). Salmonella Enteriditis bacteria may be found in the intestinal tracts of livestock, poultry, dogs, cats and other warm-blooded animals. This strain is only one of about 2,000 kinds of Salmonella bacteria; it is often associated with poultry and eggs.

Description:
Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome spanning about 260 million base pairs and making up 8% of the human genome. There are about 3,000 genes on chromosome 1, and considering the great number of genes there are also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1. Notably, the rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is associated with the LMNA gene which encodes lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs. The mechanism of rapidly enhanced aging is unclear and is a topic of continuing exploration. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinsons, Gaucher disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1. A breakpoint has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma. The KIAA0562 gene product has been provisionally designated KIAA0562 pending further characterization.

Description:
This gene encodes an aspartic proteinase that belongs to the peptidase family A1. The encoded protein is a digestive enzyme that is produced in the stomach and constitutes a major component of the gastric mucosa. This protein is also secreted into the serum. This protein is synthesized as an inactive zymogen that includes a highly basic prosegment. This enzyme is converted into its active mature form at low pH by sequential cleavage of the prosegment that is carried out by the enzyme itself. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to gastric cancers. Serum levels of this enzyme are used as a biomarker for certain gastric diseases including Helicobacter pylori related gastritis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1.

Description:
The cadherins are a family of Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules that function to mediate cell-cell binding critical to the maintenance of structure and morphogenesis. Cadherins each contain a large extracellular domain at the N-terminus, which is characterized by a series of five homologous repeats, the most distal of which is thought to be responsible for binding specificity. Cadherin-20, also known as protocadherin gamma B4, is a member of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster. Expressed primariy in fibroblasts, cadherin-20 plays a critical role in neuronal cell-cell connections in the brain. Through its ability to mediate cell-cell adhesion, caderin-20 is thought to help the body respond to injury by regulating post-traumatic wound healing.

Description:
DNA damage results in the arrest of cell cycle progression, allowing the damaged DNA to be repaired prior to replication. Checkpoints exist at several cell cycle phase transitions to maintain this genetic integrity. Rad9, Rad17, Rad24 and Mec3 are involved in activating the G1 and G2 checkpoints (1–4). Pol2 (also known as Dun2), encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon, plays a role in activating the S phase checkpoint (5). The protein kinase Rad53 (also designated Spk1, Mec2 or Sad1) is essential for both G2 and S phase arrest. Activation of Rad53 is regulated by Mec1 (also known as Esr1 and Sad3), a homolog of the human ATM protein (6). Pds1 and Mad2 both regulate checkpoints associated with incomplete spindle replication (7,8). Dun1, another protein kinase, plays a role in transducing the DNA damage signal (9).

Description:
Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) represent a family of evolutionarily conserved proteins which play a role in the innate immune system and are transcriptionally regulated by androgens in several tissues. CRISP-8 (Cysteine-rich secretory protein 8), also known as PI15 (Peptidase inhibitor 15), P25TI or SugarCrisp, is a 258 amino acid secreted protein that belongs to the CRISP family. Expressed at low levels in thyroid, prostate, salivary and mammary tissue, CRISP-8 functions as a serine protease inhibitor that exhibits weak inhibitory action against Trypsin, a serine protease found in the digestive system. In addition to its role as a protease inhibitor, CRISP-8 is secreted in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, suggesting a role for CRISP-8 in tumor formation and metastasis within the central nervous system.

Description:
Dorfin is a multi-pass membrane, RING-IBR type, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. It is widely expressed with highest levels found in heart and ubiquitous expression throughout the central nervous system. Dorfin functions by accepting ubiquitin in the form of a thioester from UBCH7 and UBC8 and then transferring it to the targeted substrates. Dorfin is responsible for ubiquitylating synphilin-1, CaSR and mutant variants of SOD-1, a protein at fault for familial ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Dorfin physically interacts with VCP (Valosin-containing protein) via its C-terminus. Together these two proteins are associated with the formation of ubiquitylated inclusions (UBIs) that characterize many neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and ALS. This association with UBIs suggests that Dorfin plays an important role in the disease process.

Description:
Members of the 'frizzled' gene family encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for Wnt signaling proteins. The Frizzled 5 protein is believed to be the receptor for the Wnt5A ligand. Frizzled 5 has been reported to be expressed in fetal kidney, fetal and adult liver, fetal lung, and adult pancreas. ESTs have been isolated from bone, liver/spleen, placenta, and prostate libraries. Frizzled 5 was cloned from a retina cDNA library. Receptor for Wnt proteins. Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes. The beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins. May be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues. Coreceptor along with RYK of Wnt proteins, such as WNT1.

Description:
BAF53b is a member of a family of actin-related proteins (ARPs), which shares significant sequence identity with conventional actins. Both actins and ARPs comprise an actin fold, which forms an ATP binding cleft. BAF53b is a component of the BAF (BRG/brm-associated factor) complex in mammals, which is functionally related to the SWI/SNF complex in S. cerevisiae and Drosophila, and is associated with chromatin remodelling to facilitate transcriptional activation. As neural progenitors exit the cell cycle, the highly homologous BAF53a subunit of the BAF complex is replaced by BAF53b. This subunit switch is essential for the transition from from neural stem cells / progenitors to postmitotic neurons. BAF53b also plays a role in dendritic outgrowth, during which it is required to recruit the BAF complex and the dendritic regulator CREST to specific gene promoters. This function can not be performed by BAF53a.

Description:
Human papilloma viruses (HPVs) can be classified as either high risk or low risk according to their association with cancer. HPV16 and HPV18 are the most common of the high risk group while HPV6 and HPV11 are among the low risk types. Approximately 90% of cervical cancers contain HPV DNA of the high risk types. Mutational analysis have shown that the E6 and E7 genes of the high risk HPVs are necessary and sufficient for HPV transforming function. The specific interactions of the E6 and E7 proteins with p53 and pRB, respectively, correlate with HPV high and low risk classifications. The high risk HPV E7 proteins bind to pRB with a higher affinity than do the low risk HPV proteins, and only the high risk HPV E6 proteins form detectable complexes with p53 in vitro. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are small DNA viruses which infect epithelia of the skin and mucosa. Over 90 types have been identified and they mostly cause a variety of benign lesions such as warts and verrucae. However, some subtypes, notably types 16 and 18, 31 and 33, have been confirmed as agents which cause cervical cancer. The E6 protein is a transcriptional transactivator. Binds double-stranded DNA. This protein may be involved in the oncogenic potential of this virus (cervical neoplasia-associated virus).

Description:
Dyneins are multisubunit, high molecular weight ATPases that interact with microtubules to generate force by converting the chemical energy of ATP into the mechanical energy of movement. Cytoplasmic or axonemal Dynein heavy, intermediate, light and light-intermediate chains are all components of minus end-directed motors; the complex transports cellular cargos towards the central region of the cell. Axonemal Dynein motors contain one to three non-identical heavy chains and cause a sliding of microtubules in the axonemes of cilia and flagella in a mechanism necessary for cilia to beat and propel the cell. Cytoplasmic Dynein is an approximately 12 subunit complex of two heavy chains, two intermediate chains to anchor Dynein to its cargo, four smaller intermediate chains and several light chains. It performs functions necessary for cell survival such as organelle transport and centrosome assembly. The carboxy terminus of Dynein is important for microtubule-dependent motility and is highly conserved, while the amino terminal regions are more variable. Tctex1 is a cytoplasmic dynein light chain found in a complex with Na+ CP type X?(SCN10A). Tctex1, also designated CW-1 or TCTEL1 is expressed in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, prostate, testis, ovary, ileum and colon. Several proteins regulate Dynein activity, including dynactin, LIS1 and NudEL(NudE-like).

Description:
The human complement subcomponent C1q associates with C1r and C1s in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system (SCS). The SCS contains over 30 glycoproteins that influence physiological mechanisms of the body in response to immune complex (the classical pathway), carbohydrate (the lectin pathway) or bacterial (alternative pathway) initiation. C1q binding protein (C1QBP), also designated gC1q-R, p32 (p33) or HABP1 (hyaluronan-binding protein 1), is known to bind the globular heads of C1q molecules and inhibit C1 activation. C1QBP has been described as a complement receptor for C1q on B cells, neutrophils and mast cells. The C1QBP protein may form homodimers. C1QBP is expressed in vascular endothelial cells and has been found to be a multifunctional protein interacting with elements of complement, coagulation and kinin systems. In addition, C1QBP is a subunit of pre-mRNA splicing factor SF2/ASF.

Description:
The Drosophila atonal gene produces a protein with basic helix loop helix (bHLH) domains that plays an essential role in the development of the Drosophila nervous system. Mammalian atonal homolog 2 (MATH-2) is a helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factor that is structurally homologous to the product of Drosophila atonal gene. MATH-2 is a 337 amino acid protein with an atonal-related basic HLH domain. In mice, expression of MATH-2 takes place by embryonic day 11.5 and initially localizes to the wall of brain vesicles and in the spinal cord. It is expressed in the cortical plate and the mantle layer in the developing central nervous system, and is limited to the nervous system in adults. Adult mouse cerebrums produce a high level of MATH-2 RNA with lower levels in other neuronal tissues. Research studies suggest that MATH-2 may function as a trans-acting factor involved in the development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system.
