High impact information on Llgl1

 

Biological context of Llgl1

  • We have isolated and characterized the human homologue of the murine Llglh gene, which was originally isolated as a homologue of a Drosophila tumor suppressor gene 1(2)gl (lethal(2) giant larvae) [3].
  • In our FISH analysis of metaphase chromosomes of four SMS patients, a probe representing LLGL failed in each case to hybridize to one of the two chromosome 17 homologues, indicating that this gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of SMS [3].
  • Phosphorylation within a highly conserved region of Mlgl is required to restrict the protein to the lateral domain, because a recombinant phospho-mutant is distributed in a nonpolar manner [2].
  • Consistent with a role in cell polarity, Mlgl redistributes from a cytoplasmic localization to the lateral membrane after contact-naive MDCK cells make cell-cell contacts and establish a polarized phenotype [2].
  • Fliih, the murine homologue of the Drosophila melanogaster flightless I gene: nucleotide sequence, chromosomal mapping and overlap with Llglh [4].
 

Associations of Llgl1 with chemical compounds

  • Interestingly, mutant forms of Mgl-1 at the conserved glycine at position 450 and aspartic acid at position 453 in the most conserved WD-40 repeat motif were not able to complement, indicating that these amino acids are critical for regulating salt tolerance and temperature sensitivity in yeast [5].
 

Other interactions of Llgl1

  • In the mouse, Llglh is thought to play an important role during brain development as a regulatory target of Hoxc8 [3].
  • Fliih lies adjacent to Llglh, the mouse homologue of the D. melanogaster tumor suppressor gene lethal(2) giant larvae [4].
