Disease relevance of GPS2

 

High impact information on GPS2

  • We report here that GPS2, a protein involved in intracellular signaling, is an integral subunit of the N-CoR-HDAC3 complex [2].
  • AMF1 (GPS2) modulates p53 transactivation [3].
  • Overexpression of AMF1 in U2OS cells increases basal level p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression and causes a G(1) arrest [3].
  • U2OS cells stably overexpressing AMF1 show increased apoptosis upon exposure to UV irradiation [3].
  • These observations led us to test whether AMF1 regulates the functions of p53, a critical transcriptional activator that integrates stress signals and regulates cell cycle and programmed cell death [3].
 

Biological context of GPS2

  • GPS2 represents a new molecule that could contribute important insights toward how cytokine- and oncoprotein-mediated signal transduction might converge [1].
  • In the present study, we found that the zinc finger proteins showed the same DNA-binding affinities to GPS2 [4].
  • In wild-type cells, expression of either gps1-1 or gps2 led to enhanced recovery from cell cycle arrest induced by pheromone [5].
  • Western blotting using antibody against acetyl-lysine failed to detect acetylation of AMF-1 or E2 in complex with p300 [6].
  • The cellular protein AMF-1 (Gps2) positively modulates gene expression by the papillomavirus E2 protein (D. E. Breiding et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 17:7208-7219, 1997) [6].
 

Other interactions of GPS2

  • Together, the results of our present study suggest that the GPS2-associated deacetylase complex might function in concert with hMSH4-hMSH5 during the process of homologous recombination [7].
  • Alternatively, it is not excluded that GPS2 could work in a parallel pathway that leads from TNFalpha to JNK1 [1].
  • We have isolated two novel human cDNAs, gps1-1 and gps2, that suppress lethal G-protein subunit-activating mutations in the pheromone response pathway of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [5].
