Disease relevance of NMI

  • We observed a novel endogenous association of BRCA1 with Nmi (N-Myc-interacting protein) in breast cancer cells [1].
  • Among several cancer cell lines, high expression of Nmi was found in myeloid leukemias, which also express high levels of C-myc [2].
  • Nmi protein interacts with regions that differ between MycN and Myc and is localized in the cytoplasm of neuroblastoma cells in contrast to nuclear MycN [3].
  • NMI did not actively inhibit DC maturation as NMI-infected DC subsequently matured if treated with Escherichia coli LPS or Nine Mile phase II [4].
  • Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) assessed from multiunit discharges and from single units (s-MSNA) was obtained in matched patients with UA ( n =9), AMI ( n =14) and stable CAD (coronary artery disease, n =11), patients with chest pain in which AMI was excluded (NMI, n =9) and normal controls (NCs, n =14) [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on NMI

  • An oral yohimbine/L-arginine combination (NMI 861) for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction: a pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and interaction study with intravenous nitroglycerine in healthy male subjects [6].
  • The longitudinal course of mental health in a combined group of NMI and MMD subjects was predicted by sex of the subject (chi2(1) = 4.04; P < 0.05), but not by age or family history of mental illness [7].
 

High impact information on NMI

  • We evaluated two cytokine systems, IL-2 and IFNgamma, and demonstrate that Nmi augments STAT-mediated transcription in response to these cytokines [8].
  • We further show that Nmi interacts with all STATs except Stat2 [8].
  • The association with Pol I requires phosphorylation of TIF-IA at Ser 649 by RSK kinase, indicating a role for NMI in the growth-dependent regulation of rRNA synthesis [9].
  • We have investigated the role of actin and nuclear myosin I (NMI) in the transcription of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) [9].
  • Homodimerization of Nmi enhanced its association with BRCA1 [1].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NMI

 

Biological context of NMI

 

Anatomical context of NMI

  • The association of Nmi and IFP 35 into a complex can be demonstrated in multiple cell lines and is not dependent on treatment with IFN [14].
  • We demonstrate that NMI is present in cell nuclei of all mouse tissues examined except for cells in terminal stages of spermiogenesis [15].
  • In the nucleoplasm of resting lymphocytes, both actin and NMI were localized mostly in condensed chromatin [16].
  • We show for the first time the spatial association of nuclear myosin I (NMI) and actin with the SSU already at the nucleolar periphery to the nuclear pore [17].
 

Associations of NMI with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of NMI

  • The high-mobility group transcription factor Sox10 interacts with the N-myc-interacting protein Nmi [11].
  • Nmi was found to interact specifically with BRCA1, both in vitro and in vivo, by binding to two major domains in BRCA1, amino acid residues 298-683 and 1301-1863 [1].
  • A deletion analysis revealed that Nmi must interact with IFP 35 to prevent its degradation and that the amino terminus of Nmi is required, but not sufficient, for this function [14].
  • Nmi interacts with c-Myc, N-Myc, Max, and fos, as demonstrated by yeast two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation assays [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of NMI

  • The carboxyl terminus of Nmi shows homology to an interferon-induced leucine zipper protein, IFP 35, whereas its amino terminus is homologous to a coiled-coil heptad repeat in the C. elegans protein, CEF59 [2].
 

Other interactions of NMI

  • Therefore, our data not only reveal that Nmi can potentiate STAT-dependent transcription, but also suggest that it can augment coactivator protein recruitment to at least some members of a group of sequence-specific transcription factors [8].
  • Nmi functioned as an adaptor molecule to recruit c-Myc to a complex containing Nmi.c-Myc.BRCA1 [1].
  • The stabilization of IFP 35 by Nmi may serve to amplify the physiologic effects of IFNs [14].
  • Co-precipitation studies of Nmi with N-myc and C-myc confirmed the interaction in mammalian cells [2].
  • The ratio of Nmi to CKIP-1 determines the stability of IFP35 and control cytokine signaling in a novel mechanism [22].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NMI

  • Nmi and IFP 35 proteins associate into a high molecular mass complex of 300-400 kDa as determined by native gel electrophoresis and gel filtration [14].
  • NID may mediate cytoplasmic localization of the full-length Nmi protein through NID-NID protein interactions as demonstrated by yeast two-hybrid assay, immunoprecipitation, and the presence of Nmi in a high molecular weight protein complex [23].
  • Immunofluorescence demonstrates that both in 293 embryonic kidney cells and in Kelly neuroblastoma cells all detectable ectopically expressed Nmi is localized in the cytoplasm, in part in a punctate, granular pattern [3].
  • RT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed the increase in the levels of STAT1 and Nmi mRNA and protein [13].
  • Microinjection of antibodies against actin or NMI, as well as short interfering RNA-mediated depletion of NMI, decreased Pol I transcription in vivo, whereas overexpression of NMI augmented pre-rRNA synthesis [9].
