Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text.

Ideally this entry shall become one comprehensive and continuous article. Bulleted lists, for instance, were only used because it is impossible to automatically integrate independent facts into a continuous text.

Much of the current information on this page has been automatically compiled from Pubmed.

This precompiled information serves as a substrate and matrix to embed your contributions, but it is by no means the final word - Homo sapiens can do much better!

Disease relevance of VPS45

The replication of viral genomes and the production of recombinant viral vectors from infectious molecular clones of parvoviruses MVMp and H1 were greatly improved by the introduction of a consensus NS-1 nick site at the junction between the left-hand viral terminus and the plasmid DNA [1].
Therefore, in this study, we re-established the pRb-modulating function of RBP2-H1 in highly metastatic A375-SM melanoma cells by re-expressing its C-term (cRBP2-H1) [2].
Overproduction, purification, and biochemical characterization of the dual specificity H1 protein phosphatase encoded by variola major virus [3].

High impact information on VPS45

Loss of linker histone H1 in cellular senescence [4].
It is known that histone H1 and HMG proteins compete for a common binding site, the linker DNA [4].
Rabenosyn-5, a novel Rab5 effector, is complexed with hVPS45 and recruited to endosomes through a FYVE finger domain [5].
In comparison with whole cell activity, cortical H1 kinase activity is delayed, with maximum levels in cortices prepared from late anaphase/telophase embryos [6].
An H1 kinase related to cdc2 cofractionates with both complexes [7].

Biological context of VPS45

Binding of IP(3) to the IP(3)Rs dissociates the interaction between IP(3)Rs and H1 but not between H1 and TRPC3 to form IP(3)Rs-TRPC3-H1b/c. TIRFM and biotinylation assays show robust receptor- and store-dependent translocation of the TRPC3 to the PM and their retrieval upon termination of cell stimulation [8].
Nocodazole, which inhibits microtubule formation and thus blocks cytokinesis, significantly delays the time of peak cortical protein phosphorylation as well as the peak in whole-cell histone H1 kinase activity [9].
Indeed, the production of H1 viral vectors by cotransfection of recombinant clones and helper plasmids providing the structural proteins (VPs) in trans, drastically decreased when more than 800 bp was removed from the VP transcription unit [1].
Progressive deletions of up to 1600 bp in the region encoding the structural genes as well as insertions of foreign DNA in replacement of those sequences did not appreciably affect the replication ability of the recombinant H1 virus genomes [1].

Anatomical context of VPS45

There is a second set of genes, consisting of 39 genes, containing two histone H1 genes, 34 genes encoding core histone proteins (H2a, H2b, H3 and H4) and three genes expressed only in the testis [10].

Other interactions of VPS45

Unlike syntaxin 16, syntaxin 10 does not interact specifically with Vps45, the Sec1/Munc18 (SM) family member at the TGN [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of VPS45

Here, we report the molecular cloning, overproduction, purification, and initial biochemical characterization of H1 phosphatase, thereby paving the way for the discovery of small molecule inhibitors [3].
