Neurofibromin Structure, Functions and Regulation [PDF]
Neurofibromin is a large and multifunctional protein encoded by the tumor suppressor gene NF1, mutations of which cause the tumor predisposition syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Identification of Germinal Neurofibromin Hotspots [PDF]
Neurofibromin is engaged in many cellular processes and when the proper protein functioning is impaired, it causes neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. Recent advances in sequencing and screening of the

Phosphorylation of neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product (neurofibromin) by cAMP-dependent protein kinase [PDF]
The critical function of the neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1) gene product (neurofabromin) is not well defined except that neurofibromin has homology with a family of the GTPase‐activating proteins (GAPs). In this study, we confirmed that neuofibromin is constitutively phosphorylated and detected kinase activities which specifically phosphorylated the ...

Nuclear Isoforms of Neurofibromin Are Required for Proper Spindle Organization and Chromosome Segregation [PDF]
Mitotic spindles are highly organized, microtubule (MT)-based, transient structures that serve the fundamental function of unerring chromosome segregation during cell division and thus of genomic stability during tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis ...

Absence of Neurofibromin Induces an Oncogenic Metabolic Switch via Mitochondrial ERK-Mediated Phosphorylation of the Chaperone TRAP1 [PDF]
Mutations in neurofibromin, a Ras GTPase-activating protein, lead to the tumor predisposition syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1. Here, we report that cells lacking neurofibromin exhibit enhanced glycolysis and decreased respiration in a Ras/ERK-dependent

Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product (neurofibromin) associates with microtubules [PDF]
The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene was recently identified by positional cloning and found to encode a protein with structural and functional homology to mammalian and yeast GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Using antibodies directed against the NF1 gene product, a protein of approximately 250 kDa was identified and termed neurofibromin.

Genetic interactions between neurofibromin and endothelin receptor B in mice. [PDF]
When mutations in two different genes produce the same mutant phenotype, it suggests that the encoded proteins either interact with each other, or act in parallel to fulfill a similar purpose.

Neurofibromin regulates metabolic rate via neuronal mechanisms in Drosophila [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in neurofibromin and associated with disruptions in physiology and behavior. Here the authors show that neurofibromin regulates metabolic homeostasis via a discrete brain circuit in
