The structure of neurofibromin isoform 2 reveals different functional states [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2021
AbstractThe autosomal dominant monogenetic disease neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) affects approximately one in 3,000 individuals and is caused by mutations in the NF1 tumour suppressor gene, leading to dysfunction in the protein neurofibromin (Nf1)1,2.

The association of NF2 (neurofibromin 2) gene polymorphism and the risk of medulloblastomas

Neurological Sciences, 2018
To explore the relationship between NF2 promoter gene mutation and the risk of medulloblastomas (MBs). We collected tissues from 16 MB patients and 7 age-matched non-MB controls. Gene sequencing, qPCR (real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction), IHC (immunohistochemistry), and WB (Western blot) were used to analyze the changes in the NF2 gene ...

Characterization of phosphorylation-dependent interactions involving neurofibromin 2 (NF2, merlin) isoforms and the Parkinson protein 7 (PARK7, DJ1)

open access: yes, 2012
Alterations in phosphorylation-dependent signalling pathways, accumulation of aggregated proteins in the brain and neuronal apoptosis are common to neurodegeneration and implicate overlapping molecular mechanism. To gain insight into involved pathways, a modified yeast-two hybrid (Y2H) system was applied to screen 71 proteins associated with ...

Neurofibromin interacts with CRMP-2 and CRMP-4 in rat brain

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
Neurofibromin, encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene, regulates the Ras and cAMP pathways and plays a role in proliferation and neuronal morphogenesis. The details of the molecular mechanism of neurofibromin action in these processes are still unclear.

Role of Neurofibromin in Modulation of Expression of the Tyrosinase-Related Protein 2 Gene

Journal of Biochemistry, 1998
Tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2)/DOPAchrome tautomerase is an enzyme involved in melanin biosynthesis and plays an important role in cytoprotection by preventing the production of a toxic melanin precursor, 5,6-dihydroxyindole. Neurofibromin is the protein product of a gene linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which is characterized by ...

Characterisation of the interaction between syndecan-2, neurofibromin and CASK: Dependence of interaction on syndecan dimerization

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010
Neurofibromin and calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (CASK) are membrane-associated signalling and scaffolding proteins which are mutated in human genetic neurological disorders. Syndecan-2 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein whose intracellular C-terminus has previously been shown to interact with the post-synaptic density ...

Neurofibromin 2 (NF2) Is Necessary for Efficient Silencing of LINE-1 Retrotransposition Events in Human Embryonic Carcinoma Cells

2022
Transposable elements are DNA sequences that can mobilize to new genomic locations and have had a profound impact on human genome evolution. Although ~45% of the human genome consists of transposable element-derived sequences, Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active transposable element in the human genome. L1s can mobilize (i.e.,

Molecular Mechanisms of Tumor Progression and Novel Therapeutic and Diagnostic Strategies in Mesothelioma

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Mesothelioma is characterized by the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, with frequent mutations in neurofibromin 2 (NF2), BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A).
