Disease relevance of CDKN2C

 

High impact information on CDKN2C

  • Methylation of INK4C (CDKN2C) was observed in four of 23 human MBs, and p18(INK4C) protein expression was extinguished in 14 of 73 cases [6].
  • Ectopic expression of p18 or p16 suppresses cell growth with a correlated dependence on endogenous wild-type pRb [7].
  • Thus, CDK inhibitors, in particular p18, are likely to play a pivotal role in controlling cell cycle arrest and cell death in terminal differentiation of late-stage B cells to plasma cells via inhibition of pRb phosphorylation by CDK6 [8].
  • Overexpression of p18 in IgM-bearing lymphoblastoid cells, which differentiated in response to IL-6 but did not exit the cell cycle, reconstituted coupled differentiation and cell cycle arrest [8].
  • Compared with their corresponding single mutant littermates, the p18(-)(/)(-); Men1(+/)(-) mice develop tumors at an accelerated rate and with an increased incidence in the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and pancreas [9].

Associations of CDKN2C with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CDKN2C

  • Gel shift analyses using p18 promoter-derived probes led to the identification of several multiprotein complexes that were found to contain different combinations of E2F proteins and/or Sp1 [20].
  • This mutation abrogates the ability of p18 to interact with CDK6 and renders p18 deficient in suppressing cell growth in a colony formation assay [10].
  • The paradigm of p18 suggests that transmembrane complexes formed by the nuclear lamins and LBR provide potential docking sites for integral membrane proteins of the nuclear envelope that equilibrate between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the inner nuclear membrane [16].
 

Enzymatic interactions of CDKN2C

  • In all cell lines exposed to As(2)O(3), p21 Bax was proteolytically cleaved in a calpain-dependent way into the more proapoptotic p18 Bax, which was detected exclusively in a mitochondria-enriched subcellular fraction [21].
 

Regulatory relationships of CDKN2C

  • We and others found that overexpressed E2F proteins up-regulate p18 expression [20].
 

Other interactions of CDKN2C

  • Here we analyze the imprinting status of three additional CKIs, the abnormal expression and/or chromosomal localization of which has been implicated in human malignancy: CDKN1A, CDKN1B, and CDKN2C [22].
  • Indeed, p16INK4A and p15INK4B (products of expression of CDKN2A and CDKN2B respectively) were not observable while pl8INK4C (which is codified by CDKN2C) was clearly detectable in the samples analyzed [1].
  • We report the first detailed structure-function analyses of p18INK4C (p18), which is a homologue of the important tumor suppressor p16INK4A (p16) [23].
  • The present investigation reports the results of screening the 100 Swedish melanoma families for germline mutations in the CDK4, CDKN2C and TP53 genes [3].
  • Mutational inactivation of these elements revealed that the Sp1 sites were important for the basal activity of the promoter but could also mediate the effects of E2F1 on the p18 promoter [20].
