Biological context of SSB

 

Anatomical context of SSB

  • The function of SSB T cells in controls remains to be defined [3].
  • To identify the autoepitopes with which the ANA anti-La (anti-SS-B) reacts, we isolated a 1.4-kb cDNA clone for La from a lambda gt10 library made from a human Burkitt's cell line [18].
  • Hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation is stimulated by specific interaction of independent regions of human La autoantigen [19].
  • The La (SS-B) autoantigen is an evolutionarily conserved phosphoprotein which plays an important role, most likely as an RNA chaperone, in various processes, such as the biosynthesis and maturation of RNA polymerase III transcripts in the cell nucleus and (internal) initiation of translation in the cytoplasm [20].
  • These results show that autoantigens fodrin, SS-A (Ro) and SS-B (La) in human salivary gland cells undergo a striking redistribution during apoptosis and relocate to the cell membrane of apoptotic cells [21].
 

Associations of SSB with chemical compounds

  • UVB light and 17-beta-estradiol have different effects on the mRNA expression of Ro/SSA and La/SSB autoantigens in HaCaT cells [4].
  • This region of EcoSSB is composed of two parts: a glycine and proline-rich sequence of approximately 60 amino acids followed by an acidic region of the last 10 amino acids which is highly conserved among the bacterial SSB proteins [22].
  • Among the symptomatic group, the most common autoantibodies were histone ribosomal phosphate, SSA, SSB, Scl-70, cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, GM2-ganglioside, and NC-1 [23].
  • Antithyroid peroxidase (20 patients), parietal cell (15), smooth muscle (14), reticulin (9), mitochondrial (5), striational (2), SSB (2) and SCL-70 (1) autoantibodies were detected in some specimens [24].
  • The sequence 349-368 aa represents the major B-cell epitope of La/SSB, also it contains, at position 366, a serine amino acid residue which constitutes the main phosphorylation site of the protein [25].
 

Physical interactions of SSB

 

Regulatory relationships of SSB

  • The specificity for human SSB in SV40 DNA replication can be explained, at least in part, by the finding that DNA polymerase alpha was stimulated 10-fold by human SSB but not by other SSBs [30].
