SMARCB1
SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily B member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SMARCB1'' gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex that relieves repressive chromatin structures, allowing the transcriptional machinery to access its targets more effectively. The encoded nuclear protein may also bind to and enhance the DNA joining activity of HIV-1 integrase. This gene has been found to be a tumor suppressor and mutations in it have been associated with malignant rhabdoid tumors. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Rhabdoid Tumor
Malignant rhabdoid tumour (MRT) is a very aggressive form of tumor, tumour originally described as a variant of Wilms' tumor, Wilms' tumour, which is primarily a kidney tumour that occurs mainly in children. MRT was first described as a variant of Wilms' tumour of the kidney in 1978. MRTs are a rare and highly malignant childhood neoplasm. Rhabdoid tumours outside the kidney were later reported in many tissues including the liver, soft tissue, and the central nervous system (CNS). Several cases of Primary tumor, primary intracranial MRT have been reported since its recognition as a separate entity in 1978. The term ''rhabdoid'' was used due to its similarity with rhabdomyosarcoma under the light microscope. The exact pathogenesis of MRT is unknown. The cerebellum is the most common location for primary intracerebral MRT (i.e., atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor). Biggs ''et al.'' were first to report a primary intracranial MRT around 1987. Although the cell of origin is not known, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SWI/SNF
In molecular biology, SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable), is a subfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, which is found in eukaryotes. In other words, it is a group of proteins that associate to remodel the way DNA is packaged. This complex is composed of several proteins – products of the SWI and SNF genes (, /, , , ), as well as other polypeptides. It possesses a DNA-stimulated ATPase activity that can destabilize histone-DNA interactions in reconstituted nucleosomes in an Adenosine triphosphate, ATP-dependent manner, though the exact nature of this structural change is unknown. The SWI/SNF subfamily provides crucial nucleosome rearrangement, which is seen as ejection and/or sliding. The movement of nucleosomes provides easier access to the chromatin, enabling binding of specific transcription factors, and allowing genes to be activated or repressed. The human analogs of SWI/SNF are "SMARCA4, BRG1- or SMARCA2, BRM-associated factors", or BAF (SWI/SNF-A) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
PPP1CA
Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase PP1-alpha catalytic subunit is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''PPP1CA'' gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene is one of the three catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). PP1 is a serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase known to be involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes, such as cell division, glycogen metabolism, muscle contractility, protein synthesis, and HIV-1 viral transcription. Increased PP1 activity has been observed in the end stage of heart failure. Studies in both human and mice suggest that PP1 is an important regulator of cardiac function. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

XPO1
Exportin 1 (XPO1), also known as chromosomal region maintenance 1 (CRM1), is a eukaryotic protein that mediates the nuclear export of various proteins and RNAs. History XPO1 (CRM1) originally was identified in the fission yeast ''Schizosaccharomyces pombe'' in a genetic screen, and investigators determined that it was involved in control of the chromosome structure. It was later shown to be the nuclear transport receptor for cargos with leucine-rich nuclear export signals ( NES). The structural details of the interaction of XPO1 with its cargos were revealed two decades after the gene was identified. Function XPO1 mediates NES-dependent protein transport. It exports several hundreds of different proteins from the nucleus. XPO1 is involved in the nuclear export of ribosomal subunits. XPO1 plays a role in export of various RNAs including U snRNAs, rRNAs (as a part of ribosomal subunits), and some mRNAs. Medical relevance XPO1 is involved in various viral infections. For e ...

SMARCE1
SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily E member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SMARCE1'' gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. The encoded protein, either alone or when in the SWI/SNF complex, can bind to 4-way junction DNA, which is thought to mimic the topology of DNA as it enters or exits the nucleosome. The protein contains a DNA-binding HMG domain, but disruption of this domain does not abolish the DNA-binding or nucleosome-displacement activities of the SWI/SNF complex. Unlike most of the SWI/SNF complex proteins, this protein has no yeast counterpart. Interactions SMARCE1 has been shown to interact with Estrogen receptor alpha, SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 Transcription activator BRG1 also known as ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler SMARCA4 ...
