Disease relevance of TNFRSF13C

 

High impact information on TNFRSF13C

  • The chromosomes, especially the Balbiani rings (BR2, BR1 and BR3), were examined during periods of stimulated and repressed RNA synthesis [6].
  • Here we determine the crystal structures of sTALL-1 complexed with the extracellular domains of BCMA and BAFF-R at 2.6 and 2.5 A, respectively [7].
  • Thus, BAFF-R appears to be the principal receptor for BAFF-mediated mature B cell survival [8].
  • Consistent with this, the BAFF-R locus is disrupted in A/WySnJ mice, which display a B cell phenotype qualitatively similar to that of the BAFF-deficient mice [8].
  • BAFF was localized in astrocytes close to BAFF-R-expressing immune cells [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of TNFRSF13C

  • An analytical strategy combining fractal geometry and grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) statistics was devised to investigate ultrastructural changes in oestrogen-insensitive SK-BR3 human breast cancer cells undergoing apoptosis in vitro [10].

Anatomical context of TNFRSF13C

 

Associations of TNFRSF13C with chemical compounds

  • However, the extracellular domain (ECD) of BR3 consists of only a partial CRD, with cysteine spacing distinct from other modules described previously [2].
  • Alanine scanning and crystallographic structural analysis of the CB3s/BR3 complex reveal that CB3s mimics BAFF by interacting with a similar region of the BR3 surface [19].
  • Reaction of vanadocene [V(Cp)2] with "activated" nitrile R1CN.L (L: Lewis acid), obtained by the reaction of borane adducts (L = BR3; R = C6F5, 2,6-F2C6H3, 3,4,5-F3C6H2) with nitriles (CH3CN, F3CC6H4CN), yields the borane adduct of vanada(IV)azirine complexes [V(Cp)2(eta 2-R1C = N.L)] [20].
  • SK-BR3 cells entered the early stage of apoptosis within 24 h of treatment with calcimycin, which induced detectable changes in nuclear components, as documented by increased values of most GLCM parameters and by the general reduction of the fractal dimensions [10].
  • Mice injected with MDA-231 BR3 into the carotid artery were treated with the VEGF-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor PTK787/Z 222584 [21].
 

Physical interactions of TNFRSF13C

  • In this study, we report the crystal structure of a 24-residue fragment of the cytoplasmic portion of BAFF-R bound in complex with TRAF3 [15].
  • However, BAFF-R binds only one TRAF adaptor, TRAF3, and this interaction negatively regulates activation of NF-kappaB [15].
  • BAFF and APRIL bind to BAFF receptor and TACI and are major B-cell survival factors [22].
 

Regulatory relationships of TNFRSF13C

  • Moreover, overexpression of TRAF3 inhibits BAFF-R-mediated NF-kappaB activation and IL-10 production [3].
 

Other interactions of TNFRSF13C

  • Key molecular contacts promote recognition of the BAFF receptor by TNF receptor-associated factor 3: implications for intracellular signaling regulation [15].
  • The recognition motif (162)PVPAT(166) in BAFF-R is accommodated in the same binding crevice on TRAF3 that binds two related TNFRs, CD40 and LTbetaR, but is presented in a completely different structural framework [15].
  • In the C-terminal arm, key stabilizing contacts are made, including critical hydrogen bonds with Gln(379) in TRAF3 that define the molecular basis for selective binding of BAFF-R solely to this member of the TRAF family [15].
  • The BR3 fold is analogous to the first half of a canonical TNFR CRD but is stabilized by an additional noncanonical disulfide bond [2].
  • Expression and occupancy of BAFF-R on B cells in systemic lupus erythematosus [23].
