Disease relevance of NAP1L3

 

High impact information on NAP1L3

  • When the triglyceride contents of Tangier LDL were reduced to 10% of mass by incubation with normal high density lipoproteins, production of the 120-kDa fragment by proteolysis decreased and MB20 binding increased in affinity, implying a change toward normal conformation of apoB-100 [2].
  • On the basis of its expression pattern, predicted sequence, and protein properties, we propose that MB20 plays a unique role in modulating nucleosome structure and gene expression during brain development [3].
  • Transient transfection and immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that MB20 is distributed in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus [3].
  • A new member of the NAP/SET gene family, named MB20, was isolated from a mouse brain cDNA library by virtue of its CAG trinucleotide repetitive sequence and a brain-specific gene expression pattern [3].
  • The ability of MB20 to bind histone proteins was analyzed by sucrose gradient sedimentation and by retention of histone proteins by immobilized MB20 protein [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NAP1L3

  • In competitive radioimmunoassay, Tangier LDL bound weakly to the apoB-specific monoclonal antibody MB20, compared with control LDL [2].
