Disease relevance of Gbp2

  • Inhibition of VSV and EMCV replication by the interferon-induced GTPase, mGBP-2: differential requirement for wild-type GTP binding domain [1].
 

High impact information on Gbp2

  • Finally, NIH 3T3 cells expressing mGBP-2 formed tumors in athymic mice [2].
  • An mGBP-2 protein carrying a point mutation (S52N) that reduced GTP binding failed to produce these phenotypes when expressed at the same levels as wild type [2].
  • The additional finding that IFN-gamma treatment of NIH 3T3 cells resulted in an increase in proliferation similar to that observed for mGBP-2 in the absence of other IFN-induced proteins suggests that mGBP-2 may indeed be important for these growth changes [2].
  • The genomic organizations of the genes encoding mGBP1 and mGBP2 are similar, and the nucleotide sequences of their IFN-responsive-like elements and their relative locations are conserved [3].
  • First, mGBP-2 contains only two of the three consensus sequences for nucleotide binding found within the classic GTP binding regions of other GTPases [4].
 

Biological context of Gbp2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Gbp2

  • Sequence analysis of the gene encoding this newly identified RNA reveals that in its 5'-region it is identical to a DNA fragment reported to represent the 5'-region of a gene termed mGBP2 [3].
