Disease relevance of Pttg1

 

High impact information on Pttg1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Pttg1

  • CONCLUSION: We conclude that PTTG does not correlate with prolactin levels or tumor size in animal models of prolactinoma, and its pituitary content is not related to a decrease in dopaminergic control of the lactotrope, but may be influenced by estrogen action at the pituitary level [10].
  • Mice with Pttg inactivation exhibit pituitary hypoplasia, whereas targeted pituitary PTTG overexpression driven by alpha-subunit glycoprotein (alphaGSU) promoter results in focal pituitary hyperplasia [11].

Anatomical context of Pttg1

 

Associations of Pttg1 with chemical compounds

  • Here we show that PTTG disruption in mice (PTTG-/-) severely impairs glucose homeostasis leading to diabetes during late adulthood, especially in males associated with nonautoimmune insulinopenia and reversed alphabeta cell ratio [9].
  • Here we show that stabilisation of cyclin B in nocodazole can be sustained for several hours and is associated with stabilisation of securin [16].
  • Because Ca(2+) spiking was not inhibited by Delta 90 cyclin B1, the degradation timing of securin, visualized by coupling it to EGFP, was unaffected [17].
  • The release of HeLa cells from metaphase arrest in the presence of exogenous H(2)O(2) inhibited the ubiquitination of cyclin B1 as well as the degradation of cyclin B1 and securin that were apparent in the absence of H(2)O(2) [18].
  • Concomitantly, arsenite markedly diminished the securin protein expression and induced the abnormal sister chromatid separation [19].

Regulatory relationships of Pttg1

 

Other interactions of Pttg1

  • Although securin/separase/cohesion pathway was reported to regulate chromosome segregation during meiotic metaphase-to-anaphase transition, little biochemical evidence was provided [15].
  • Most of the cells expressing the PTTG gene were found in the lower part of the ventricular zone suggesting that the level of PTTG mRNA is regulated during different phases of the mitotic cycle [21].
  • Besides, arsenite decreased the levels of securin proteins to a similar degree in both the p53-functional and -mutational cells [19].
