Disease relevance of NUCB1

  • Upregulation of nucleobindin expression in human-activated lymphocytes and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [1].
  • The percentages of patients with plasma HIV RNA < or = 50 copies/ml at 48 weeks by drug class were: PI triple, 46% (95% CI, 41 to 52%); NNRTI triple, 51% (95% CI, 43 to 59%); triple NUC, 45% (95% CI, 36 to 54%) [2].
  • However, the frequency of autoantibody to Calnuc in colon cancer (11.5%) was significantly higher than that in normal individuals (1.2%) [3].
  • In tumors with lymph node metastasis, 41 (82%) were positive for u-PA and 28 (56%) were positive for Nuc [4].
  • These results suggest that immunohistochemical examination for the expression of u-PA and Nuc in tumor cells may help evaluate the potential of adenocarcinomas of the stomach for lymph node metastasis [4].
 

High impact information on NUCB1

 

Biological context of NUCB1

 

Anatomical context of NUCB1

  • These results indicate that cytosolic calnuc binds to Galphai3 on Golgi membranes in living cells and that Galphai3 must be anchored to the cytosolic surface of Golgi membranes via lipid anchors for the interaction to occur [7].
  • To investigate whether Galphai3 binds calnuc in living cells and where this interaction takes place we performed fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis between Galphai3 and calnuc in COS-7 cells expressing Galphai3-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) and calnuc-cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) [7].
  • Expression of Nuc was first studied in human lymphocytes [1].
  • The numerical density Nv (NUC/EPI) of tumor cell nuclei turned out to be a most reliable morphological marker of the concordant ER and PR status (overall efficiency = 84%, p < 0.01) [10].
 

Associations of NUCB1 with chemical compounds

  • Calnuc has the properties of a Ca(2+) sensor protein capable of binding to and potentially regulating interactions of Galphai3 on Golgi membranes [7].
  • The TATA sequence of the human, estrogen-responsive pS2 promoter is complexed in vivo with a rotationally and translationally positioned nucleosome (NUC T) [11].
  • The treatment of antiretroviral-naive subjects with the 3TC/zidovudine combination: a review of North American (NUCA 3001) and European (NUCB 3001) trials [12].
  • Spectral deconvolution of TRLFS measurements on the NUC revealed the unexpected presence of two distinct chemical environments consistent with published spectra of U(VI)-substituted synthetic calcite and aragonite [13].
  • Calnuc is a calcium (Ca2+) binding protein found in both Golgi and cytoplasm, and it may play a role in G protein- and Ca2+-regulated signal transduction events [3].
 

Other interactions of NUCB1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NUCB1

  • By immunoelectron microscopy, CALNUC is localized to cis-Golgi cisternae and the cis-Golgi network (CGN) [6].
  • Molecular cloning of nucleobindin, a novel DNA-binding protein that contains both a signal peptide and a leucine zipper structure [15].
  • METHODS: A systematic overview of results from clinical trials involving triple combination therapy with dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) and: a protease inhibitor (PI triple); a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI triple); or a third NRTI (triple NUC) [2].
  • Analysis by circular dichroism spectrometry indicated that addition of Ca2+ ions induces a structural change in Nuc, presumably an increase in the amount of alpha helix [16].
  • Purified full-length recombinant Calnuc protein was used as an antigen in enzyme-linked immunoassay and Western blotting for the detection of autoantibodies in cancers [3].
