Chemical compound and disease context of PTBP2

  • To investigate the mechanism of hyperinsulinaemia in rats with acute liver failure induced by the administration of d-galactosamine (GalN), we focused on the role of polyprimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) in islet insulin synthesis [9].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PTBP2

  • By means of genomic sequence analysis we have isolated and cloned a 1587-base pair region upstream the human nPTB coding region [1].
  • Using UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation experiments with site-specific labeled RNA in PTB-depleted nuclear extracts, we found that the decrease in PTB was correlated with an increase in U2AF65 [11].
  • PTB in the DRM was resistant to protease digestion, but became sensitive after treatment with the raft-disrupting agents [18].
  • By bromouridine triphosphate (BrUTP) labeling and confocal microscopy of cells harboring an HCV replicon, we showed that the newly synthesized HCV RNA was localized to distinct structures in the cytoplasm, which also contain PTB [18].
  • Overexpression of PTB in resting CD4+ T cells from patients on HAART allowed cytoplasmic accumulation of HIV-1 RNAs [19].
