Disease relevance of CEP135

  • Sf9 cells infected with baculovirus containing Cep135 sequences induce filamentous polymers which are distinctive from the whorl seen in CHO cells; #10 forms highly packed spheroids, but the Delta3-containing structure looks loose [1].
 

High impact information on CEP135

  • However, the oxidant monochloramine rapidly decreased TER and increased mannitol permeability of C2/AS monolayers compared with C2/CEP4 (50% effective doses at 30 minutes were 0.53 +/- 0.11 and 2.06 +/- 0.34 mmol/L, respectively) [2].
  • Because antibodies raised against mammalian centrosome components, such as gamma-tubulin, pericentrin, Cep135, and mitosis-specific phosphoproteins, react strongly with the microtubule-nucleating sites of Lecudina, this protozoan is likely to share common centrosomal antigens with higher eukaryotes [3].
  • Cep135 is a 135-kDa, coiled-coil centrosome protein important for microtubule organization in mammalian cells [Ohta et al., 2002: J. Cell Biol. 156:87-99] [4].
  • To evaluate how the protein is arranged in the centrosomal structure, we overexpressed Cep135 polypeptides in CHO cells by transient transfection [1].
 

Anatomical context of CEP135

  • It is predicted to be a highly coiled-coil protein with an extensive alpha-helix, suggesting that Cep135 is a structural component of the centrosome [1].
