Disease relevance of Dyrk1a

  • Our observations of calcineurin-and Nfatc-deficient mice, Dscr1- and Dyrk1a-overexpressing mice, mouse models of Down's syndrome and human trisomy 21 are consistent with these predictions [1].
 

High impact information on Dyrk1a

  • To investigate the cellular role of dual specificity Yak1-related kinase (Dyrk) 1, a nuclear localized dual specificity protein kinase, we examined its effect on transcriptional regulation using reporter gene assays [2].
  • We have previously shown DYRK1A expression in the cerebellum and functionally related structures, most brainstem motor nuclei and spinal cord, supporting a role for Dyrk1a in controlling motor function [3].
  • AVAILABILITY: F-values and real TFBS occurrences calculated for human, chimp, mouse, rat, zebrafish and fugu genomes are available for free download at http://www.gmu.edu/departments/mmb/baranova/pages/bioinformatics[4]
  • Conditions under which segments of genes on chromosome 16 (App and Dyrk1a) could be coamplified with a control gene on chromosome 8 (Acta1) so that the yield of each PCR product was proportional to the amount of its template were determined [5].
  • The murine Dyrk protein maps to chromosome 16, localizes to the nucleus, and can form multimers [6].
 

Anatomical context of Dyrk1a

  • 2. (2) The Dyrk protein localizes to the cell nucleus, affording the potential of controlling the expression of other gene(s) [6].
