HIF1 (hypoxia-inducible factor 1), a heterodimeric transcription factor complex central to cellular response to hypoxia, consists of two subunits (alpha and beta) which are basic helix-loop-helix proteins of the PAS (Per, ARNT, Sim) family. Expression of HIF-1 alpha is regulated by cellular oxygen level alterations as well as in oxygen-independent manner via different cytokines (through the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway), growth factors, oncogenic activation, or loss of tumor suppressor function etc. In normoxic cells, HIF-1 alpha is proline hydroxylated leading to a conformational change that promotes its binding to the VLH (von Hippel Lindau) protein E3 ligase complex; ubiquitination and followed by rapid proteasomal degradation. Hypoxia as well as chemical hydroxylase inhibitors (desferrioxamine, cobalt etc.) inhibit HIF-1 alpha degradation and lead to its accumulation in the cells, whereas, contrastingly, HIF-1 beta/ARNT (AhR nuclear translocator) remains stable under both conditions. Besides their critical role in hypoxic response, HIFs regulates the transcription of genes responsible for angiogenesis, erythropoiesis/iron-metabolism, glucose metabolism, cell proliferation/survival, adipogenesis, carotid body formation, B lymphocyte development and immune reactions.

Chromatin is composed of basic repeating units called nucleosomes, which are 146 bp of DNA wound around a histone octamer composed of two each of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Reversible acetylation of highly conserved lysine residues in N-terminal tail domains of core histones plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Several histone acetyltransferases (HATs) catalyze the acetylation reaction (GCN5, PCAF, p300/CBP, TAFII250, P/CAF, SRC-1 BRCA-2). Acetylation of the core histones is generally considered to be associated with gene activation, probably through maintenance of the unfolded structure of transcribing nucleosomes. Histone acetylation is a dynamic process whose levels are determined by the net activities of HATs and the competing enzymes histone deacetylases (HDACs). Both activities are associated with the nuclear matrix. Six or seven different mammalian HDACs have been described. HDACs are similar to the yeast Rpd3 protein, while HDACs are similar to the yeast Hda1 protein. Histone deacetylase activities are often, but not always, associated with transcriptional repression and nucleosomal condensations. HDAC1 and 2 are the catalytic subunits of different multiprotein regulatory complexes. The components of such complexes include: corepressors such as mSin3, N-CoR, SMRT, associated proteins such as SAP18, SAP30, RbAp46, RbAp48, c-Ski oncogenic protein, a protein involved in DNA methylation, and more.

The INK4a/ARF locus encodes two unrelated tumor suppressor proteins, p16INK4a and p19ARF that restrain cell growth by modifying the functions of the retinoblastoma protein and p53, respectively. It is among the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor loci in human cancer. Both p16INK4a and p19ARF act as cell proliferation inhibitors. The ARF gene, p19ARF in mouse and p14ARF in human, has become an important player in cell cycle regulation. In mice, tumor suppressor effects appear to be mediated by interactions between p19ARF and the p53 tumor-suppressor protein. p19ARF counters uncontrolled proliferation and oncogenic signals in p53-dependent pathways. Proteins encoded by the INK4a/ARF locus also play a role in Abelson virus transformation. Both p16INK4a and p19ARF are expressed in many cells as they emerge from the apoptotic crisis that characterizes the transformation process. Expression of p19ARF but not p16INK4a induces apoptosis in Ab-MLV-transformed pre-B cells. INK4a/ARF expression correlates with or precedes the emergence of cells expressing mutant p53. p19ARF is an important part in cellular defense against transforming signals from the Abl oncoprotein, providing direct evidence that the p19ARF-p53 regulatory loop plays an important role in lymphoma induction.

Gamma synuclein belongs to the synuclein family which are believed to be involve in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. High levels of gamma synuclein have been identified in andvanced breast carcinomas suggesting a correlation between gamma synuclein overexpression and breast tumor development. Gama synuclein plays a role in neurofilament network integrity. May be involved in modulating axonal architecture during development and in the adult. In vitro, increases the susceptibility of neurofilament-H to calcium-dependent proteases. May also function in modulating the keratin network in skin. Activates the MAPK and Elk-1 signal transduction pathway. SUBUNIT: May be a centrosome-associated protein. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; perinuclear region. Centrosome. Spindle. Associated with centrosomes in several interphase cells. In mitotic cells, localized to the poles of the spindle. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in brain, particularly in the substantia nigra. Also expressed in the corpus callosum, heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, testis, colon and spleen. Weak expression in pancreas, kidney and lung. PTM: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by GRK5 appears to occur on residues distinct from the residue phosphorylated by other kinases. DISEASE: Brain iron accumulation type 1 (NBIA1, also called Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome), a rare neuroaxonal dystrophy, is histologically characterized by axonal spheroids, iron deposition, Lewy body (LB)-like intraneuronal inclusions, glial inclusions and neurofibrillary tangles. SNCG is found in spheroids but not in inclusions.

Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein that acts as a major Ca(2+)-binding (storage) protein in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. It is also found in the nucleus, suggesting that it may have a role in transcription regulation. Calreticulin binds to the synthetic peptide KLGFFKR, which is almost identical to an amino acid sequence in the DNA-binding domain of the superfamily of nuclear receptors. Calreticulin binds to antibodies in certain sera of systemic lupus and Sjogren patients which contain anti-Ro/SSA antibodies, it is highly conserved among species, and it is located in the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum where it may bind calcium. The amino terminus of calreticulin interacts with the DNA-binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor and prevents the receptor from binding to its specific glucocorticoid response element. Calreticulin can inhibit the binding of androgen receptor to its hormone-responsive DNA element and can inhibit androgen receptor and retinoic acid receptor transcriptional activities in vivo, as well as retinoic acid-induced neuronal differentiation. Thus, calreticulin can act as an important modulator of the regulation of gene transcription by nuclear hormone receptors. Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with increased autoantibody titers against calreticulin but calreticulin is not a Ro/SS-A antigen. Earlier papers referred to calreticulin as an Ro/SS-A antigen but this was later disproven. Increased autoantibody titer against human calreticulin is found in infants with complete congenital heart block of both the IgG and IgM classes.

This antibody neutralises human TNFa mediated cytotoxicity of L929 cells and inhibits tumour growth in mice. It protects mice against toxicity of hTNFa. Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF alpha) is a protein secreted by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, and causes tumor necrosis when injected into tumor bearing mice. TNF alpha is believed to mediate pathogenic shock and tissue injury associated with endotoxemia. TNF alpha exists as a multimer of two, three, or five non-covalently linked units, but shows a single 17kDa band following SDS PAGE under non-reducing conditions. TNF alpha is closely related to the 25kDa protein Tumor Necrosis Factor beta (lymphotoxin), sharing the same receptors and cellular actions. TNF alpha causes cytolysis of certain transformed cells, being synergistic with interferon gamma in its cytotoxicity. Although it has little effect on many cultured normal human cells, TNF alpha appears to be directly toxic to vascular endothelial cells. Other actions of TNF alpha include stimulating growth of human fibroblasts and other cell lines, activating polymorphonuclear neutrophils and osteoclasts, and induction of interleukin 1, prostaglandin E2 and collagenase production.

The 90kDa molecular chaperone family comprises several proteins including the 90kDa heat shock protein, Hsp90 and the 94kDa glucose regulated protein, grp94 which are major molecular chaperones of the cytosol and of the endoplasmic reticulum. In mammalian cells there are at least two Hsp90 isoforms, Hsp90a and hsp90s which are encoded by separate genes. The amino acid sequence of human and yeast Hsp90a is 85% and 90% homologous to that of Hsp90s respectively. All known members of the Hsp90 protein family are highly conserved, especially in the N terminal and C terminal regions which have been shown to contain independent chaperone sites with different substrate specificity. These ubiquitous and highly conserved proteins account for 1-2% of all cellular proteins in most cells. Hsp90 is part of the cell's powerful network of chaperones to fight the deleterious consequences of protein unfolding caused by nonphysiological conditions. However, in the absence of stress, Hsp90 is a necessary component of fundamental cellular processes such as hormone signaling and cell cycle control. In this context several key regulatory proteins such as steriod receptors, cell cycle kinases involved in signal transduction and p53 have been identified as substrates of Hsp90. It has been suggested that Hsp90 acts as a capacitor for morphological evolution by buffering widespread variation, which may affect morphogenic pathways.

ZAP70, a 70 kDa member of the Syk tyrosine kinase family, plays a central role in lymphocyte activation and development, and is implicated in several immune disorders. Upon T cell antigen receptor (TCR) engagement, ZAP70 is phosphorylated on tyrosines 292, 315 and 319 in the interdomain B, located between the SH2 and kinase domains. Phosphorylation of both tyrosines 315 (a Vav binding site) and 319 (a Lck binding site) enhances ZAP70 function in mediating lymphocyte signaling, while tyrosine 292 terminates the transient activation of ZAP70 and attentuates lymphocyte signaling. Phosphorylation of tyrosines 315 and 319 plays an important role in mediating the positive and negative selection of T cells in thymus.Mutations in ZAP70 gene results in a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCID) in humans. ZAP70 expression also defines a subset of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in patients with unmutated Ig gene and poor clinical course. Recent studies suggest that protein levels of ZAP70 are elevated in B cells of CLL patients with non mutant heavy chain variable region (IgVH) but not those with the mutant regions. Recent evidence suggests that ZAP70 could be an excellent prognostic biomarker with high levels of the proteins indicating a poor prognosis.

BRCA1 (breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility protein 1) is a RING finger protein containing a BRCT domain. BRCA1 exists as a heterodimer with 22 possible isoforms. The full length protein has a reported molecular weight of 208 kD. BRCA1 localizes to the mitotic spindle microtubules, centriole walls, pericentriolar fibers at centrosomes. Unphosphorylated BRCA1 localizes on chromosomes from metaphase through telophase; phosphorylated BRCA1 resides in inner chromosomal structure, centrosome, cleavage furrow during prophase through telophase, and relocalizes to the perinuclear region when cells are subjected to IR or UV radiation in S phase. BRCA1 acts as a tumor suppressor and can function as a secreted growth inhibitory protein, participate in transcription coupled repair of oxidative DNA damage, X-chromosome inactivation, and can function as a E3 ubiquitin ligase. BRCA1 can be transcriptionally downregulated by Ets-2, Brg-1, and Hmga-1. BRCA1 can be modified by glycosylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation by CDK4, ATM/ATR, cdk2, and hChk2. The BRCA1 protein has been reported to interact with RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and BARD1. BRCA1 contains at least two nuclear localization signals and is proposed to be a tumor suppressor protein. It is a serine phosphoprotein that undergoes hyperphosphorylation during late G1 and S phases of the cell cycle and is transiently dephosphorylated early after M phase. BRCA1 protein alters in a qualitative and quantitative manner during cell cycle progression. The amount of BRCA1 protein is highest during S phase and remains elevated toward G2 / M, before it declines in early G1 phase. Inherited loss of BRCA1 function confers an increased susceptibility for both breast and ovarian cancer.

The serum amyloid A family comprises a number of differentially expressed apolipoproteins, acute-phase SAA1 and SAA2, the former being the major component in plasma and constitutive SAAs. Although the liver is the primary site of synthesis of both SAA types extrahepatic production has been reported. The in vivo concentrations increase by as much as 1000 fold during inflammation. Several studies have expressed its importance in the diagnosis and monitoring of various diseases. Pathological SAA values are often detected in association with normal CRP concentrations; SAA rises earlier and more sharply than CRP. Recently, a broader view of SAA expression and function has been emerging. Expression studies show production of SAA proteins in histologically normal, atherosclerotic, Alzheimer, inflammatory, and tumour tissues. SAA has been found to have binding sites for high density lipoproteins, calcium, laminin, and heparin/heparin sulphate. Also adhesion motifs were identified and new functions affecting cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and aggregation were discovered. These findings emphasize the importance of SAA in various physiological and pathological processes including inflammation, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, AA-amyloidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and neoplasia. SAA has also a number of immunomodulatory roles, it can induce chemotaxis and adhesion molecule expression, has cytokine-like properties and can promote the upregulation of metalloproteinases. It enhances the binding of high density lipoprotein to macrophages and thus helps in the delivery of lipids to sites of injury for use in tissue repair, it is thus thought to be an integral part of the disease process.
