Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.3K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

The Ras Gene02:38

The Ras Gene

7.5K
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.
Ras is a...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.7K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Rab Proteins01:14

Rab Proteins

5.4K
Rab proteins constitute the largest family of monomeric GTPases, of which 70 members are present in humans. Rab proteins and their effectors regulate consecutive stages of vesicle transport such as vesicle transport, docking, and fusion to the correct recipient membrane.
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

15.0K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The Ras-association domain family protein 2 (RASSF2) is a tumor suppressor known to be inactivated in various human cancers.
  • RASSF2 acts as a pro-apoptotic K-Ras effector, likely functioning as a scaffolding protein to regulate tumor suppressor pathways.
  • The precise molecular mechanisms and interaction partners of RASSF2 remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify novel interacting partners of RASSF2 using a proteomics-based approach.
  • To elucidate the functional mechanisms of RASSF2 in cancer, particularly its regulation by K-Ras.
  • To gain a deeper understanding of RASSF2's role in tumor suppression.

Main Methods:

  • Proteomics-based approach to identify RASSF2 interacting proteins.
  • Independent validation of novel interactions using co-immunoprecipitation or similar techniques.
  • Investigation of K-Ras influence on RASSF2 interactions and downstream effects like protein acetylation.

Main Results:

  • Identification of several novel RASSF2 interacting proteins, including C1QBP, Vimentin, Protein phosphatase 1G, and Ribonuclease inhibitor.
  • Validation of interactions with C1QBP and Vimentin, revealing differential regulation by K-Ras.
  • Demonstration that RASSF2/K-Ras signaling regulates Vimentin acetylation, suggesting novel Ras-regulated mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • RASSF2 interacts with proteins involved in diverse cellular processes, expanding its known functional repertoire.
  • K-Ras differentially modulates RASSF2 interactions with C1QBP and Vimentin, highlighting a complex regulatory network.
  • The findings reveal novel, potentially Ras-regulated, mechanisms by which RASSF2 may function as a tumor suppressor.
