Disease relevance of Bcar1

  • The large (130kDa), multi-domain Cas molecule contains an SH3 domain, a Src-binding domain, a serine-rich protein interaction region, and a C-terminal region that participates in protein interactions implicated in antiestrogen resistance in breast cancer [1].
  • These results demonstrated that Cas functions as a molecule promoting cell movement, cell migration, and cell spreading and suggest that Cas would be implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, such as would healing, chemotaxis, and tumor invasion [2].

Associations of Bcar1 with chemical compounds

  • Mutation of this tyrosine to glutamic acid, but not to phenylalanine, disrupts Cas binding to SHEP1 without inhibiting Ras GTPase binding [14].
  • This study reports the first structure of a functional domain of Cas. The solution structure of the serine-rich region has been determined by NMR spectroscopy, demonstrating that this is a stable domain that folds as a four-helix bundle, a protein-interaction motif [11].
  • SHEP1 is a signaling protein that contains a guanine nucleotide exchange factor-like domain, which binds Ras family GTPases and also forms a stable complex with the scaffolding protein Crk-associated substrate (Cas) [14].
  • Together, these results show that the identity of the previously described p125 beta-cell protein is Cas and that Cas undergoes rapid glucose-induced tyrosine phosphorylation in beta-cells [12].
  • The protein products are soluble, homogeneous, monodisperse, and highly suitable for structural studies to define the role of Cas in integrin-mediated cell signaling [1].
 

Physical interactions of Bcar1

  • The C-terminal Src-binding domain played essential roles in cell migration and membrane localization of Cas, although it was dispensable in the organization of actin stress fibers [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bcar1

  • Finally, it is also demonstrated via Western blotting that Cas is present in normal isolated rat islets [12].
  • Western and immunohistochemistry analyses validated the presence of CAS in the aorta, and tissue bath experiments demonstrated reduction of contraction to 5-HT (13.5 +/- 5% control maximum) and the 5-HT(2) receptor agonist alpha-methyl-5-HT (6 +/- 2% maximum) by latrunculin B (10(-6) mol/l), an actin disruptor [17].
  • Sequence analysis showed that Cas contains 10 DXXD consensus sites preferred by caspase-3 [18].
  • Further, we found by immunoprecipitation experiments that the 120 kDa protein was p130cas, a crk-associated src substrate [19].
