High impact information on Tpr

  • Injection of anti-Tpr antibodies into mitotic cells resulted in depletion of Tpr from the nuclear envelope without loss of other pore complex basket proteins [1].
  • Thus, Nup153 and Tpr are major physiological binding sites for importin beta [2].
  • Major binding sites for the nuclear import receptor are the internal nucleoporin Nup153 and the adjacent nuclear filament protein Tpr [2].
  • Surprisingly, the Grb2 mutants blocked activation of the JNK/SAPK but not MAP kinase activity induced by the Tpr-Met oncoprotein [3].
  • This indicates that reassembly of the NPC after mitosis is a stepwise process, and that the Tpr-containing peripheral structures are assembled later than p62 [4].
 

Biological context of Tpr

  • These data indicate that the presence of the juxtamembrane domain counterbalances the Tpr-Met transforming potential and therefore the loss of the exon encoding the juxtamembrane domain is crucial in the generation of the active TPR-MET oncogene [5].
  • To examine the role of RTK activated signal transduction pathways to processes involved in cell transformation, we have exploited the oncogenic derivative of the Met RTK (Tpr-Met) [6].
  • In order to determine the sites of tyrosine phosphorylation in the Tpr-Met oncoprotein, in vitro mutagenesis, phosphopeptide mapping, and dephosphorylation protection assays were performed [7].
  • We have identified two tyrosine residues within the catalytic domain of the Tpr-Met oncoprotein (Y365, Y366) and Met receptor (Y1234, Y1235) that are phosphorylated and essential for both the catalytic and biological activity of the oncoprotein and receptor [7].
  • Variables monitored were colonic (Tc) and tail skin (Tsk) temperatures (experiment 1); BP (experiment 2); hypothalamic temperature (Thy), M (from oxygen consumption), and Tsk (experiment 3); and preferred Ta (Tpr) and abdominal temperature (experiment 4) [8].
 

Anatomical context of Tpr

  • Tpr, a large coiled coil protein whose amino terminus is involved in activation of oncogenic kinases, is localized to the cytoplasmic surface of the nuclear pore complex [4].
  • These data are consistent with a single tyrosine residue in the Tpr-Met oncoprotein being essential for the activation of several signalling pathways which lead to the transformation of Fr3T3 fibroblasts [9].
 

Associations of Tpr with chemical compounds

  • Tpr-Met is a member of a family of tyrosine kinase oncoproteins generated following genomic rearrangement and has constitutive kinase activity [10].
 

Other interactions of Tpr

  • As a consequence of this rearrangement the Tpr-Met fusion oncoprotein is localized to the cytoplasm and is a constitutively activated kinase [9].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tpr

  • The enzymatic behavior of Tpr-Met and Tpr-juxtaMet was the same, while Tpr-juxtaMet ability to associate cytoplasmic signal transducers and to elicit downstream signaling was severely impaired [5].
