Disease relevance of YY1AP1

 

High impact information on YY1AP1

  • Transforming properties of YAP, a candidate oncogene on the chromosome 11q22 amplicon [6].
  • In nontransformed mammary epithelial cells, overexpression of human YAP induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, suppression of apoptosis, growth factor-independent proliferation, and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar [6].
  • Together, these observations point to a potential oncogenic role for YAP in 11q22-amplified human cancers, and they suggest that this highly conserved signaling pathway identified in Drosophila regulates both cellular proliferation and apoptosis in mammalian epithelial cells [6].
  • The WW domains of Pin and YAP do not support more than one type of packing each, leading to monophasic folding kinetics [7].
  • Evolutionary analysis of Y haplotypes suggests that polymorphisms at the YAP (DYS287) and DXYS5Y loci originated a single time, whereas restriction patterns at the DYS1 locus and microsatellite alleles at the DYS19 locus arose more than once [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of YY1AP1

 

Biological context of YY1AP1

  • The transactivation region of YY1AP would seem to be localized within the section of amino acids 260-345 [10].
  • By random mutagenesis, we switched the specificity of the Yes-associated protein (YAP) WW1 domain, a Group I WW domain, to that of the FE65 WW domain, which belongs to Group II [11].
  • When treated with antisense oligonucleotides to HCCA1, HCCA1 expression in HCC cells (HuH-7) was effectively suppressed and cell growth was down-regulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner [12].
  • Phylogenetic comparisons with other Alu sequences reveal that the YAP element is a member of the polymorphic subfamily-3 (PSF-3), a previously undefined subfamily of Alu elements [13].
  • Only subsets of the five YAP haplotypes were found outside of Africa. Patterns of observed variation were compatible with a variety of hypotheses, including multiple human migrations and range expansions [14].
 

Anatomical context of YY1AP1

  • Northern blot analysis revealed that YY1AP is ubiquitously expressed in various human tissues and cancer cell lines [10].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Involvement of second-order bile ducts, vascular invasion, and lobar atrophy are more likely in patients with HCCA [15].
  • BACKGROUND: Obstruction at the hepatic duct confluence is generally due to hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) [15].
  • BACKGROUND: Current approaches to adjuvant treatment after resection of gallbladder carcinoma (GBCA) and hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) are based on an incomplete understanding of the recurrence patterns of these diseases [16].
 

Associations of YY1AP1 with chemical compounds

 

Co-localisations of YY1AP1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of YY1AP1

  • Western blot analysis showed that HCCA2 could be expressed in transfected 293 cells [1].
  • For HCCA, there was a trend for lower disease-free survival in females (p = 0.056; log rank test) [4].
  • Multiple factors were evaluated to determine their influence on survival; i.e., HBV serology, United Network for Organ Sharing status, fulminant versus chronic HBV, incidence of rejection, immunosuppression, transfusion requirements, and presence of HCCA [5].
  • However, because the interior branching order of the Y chromosome genealogical tree remains unknown, it is impossible to impute the origin of the YAP clade with certainty [20].
  • The identification of the tryptic fragments was achieved by direct MALDI-MS analysis by using three different matrices (DHB, SA and HCCA) in combination with the most compatible sample preparation procedures in order to obtain the maximum sequence coverage [21].
