c-Kit is a tyrosine kinase receptor important for gametogenesis, hematopoiesis, melanogenesis and mast cell biology. Dysregulation of c-Kit function is oncogenic and its expression in the stem cell niche of a number of tissues has underlined its relevance for regenerative medicine and hematopoietic stem cell biology. Yet, very little is known about the mechanisms that control c-Kit protein levels. Here we show that the RanBPM/RanBP9 scaffold protein binds to c-Kit and is necessary for normal c-Kit protein expression in the mouse testis and subset lineages of the hematopoietic system. RanBPM deletion causes a reduction in c-Kit protein but not its mRNA suggesting a posttranslational mechanism. This regulation is specific to the c-Kit receptor since RanBPM reduction does not affect other membrane proteins examined. Importantly, in both mouse hematopoietic system and testis, RanBPM deficiency causes defects consistent with c-Kit loss of expression suggesting that RanBPM is an important regulator of c-Kit function. The finding that this regulatory mechanism is also present in human cells expressing endogenous RanBPM and c-Kit suggests a potential new strategy to target oncogenic c-Kit in malignancies

Investigation of a mechanistic link between 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) and Metastasis Associated Protein 1 (MTA1) in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines
ÇAĞATAY, SİBEL; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2013-09-01)
Background: Metastasis Associated Protein 1 (MTA1) is a member of the nuclear remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex that is known to repress the expression of several tumor suppressor genes. 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1), a member of the inflammatory eicosanoid pathway, has been shown by us and others to have an anti-tumorigenic role in colon cancer. ALOX15 was recently shown to be repressed by the NuRD complex. Previously we have reported that ectopic expression of 15-LOX-1 in colon cancer cells...
APA isoform diversity in triple negative breast cancers

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays a role in gene expression regulation generally by shortening of 3'UTRs and relieving microRNA-mediated repression. Therefore, APA is gaining increased attention as a potential mechanism to activate oncogenes. Owing to high proliferative indices of triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs), we hypothesized APA to cause 3'UTR length changes in this aggressive subgroup of breast cancers. Our probe-based meta-analysis approach identified 3'UTR length alterations where the si...
Regioselectivity in the Ene reaction of singlet oxygen with cyclic alkenes and application of Ene reaction to stereoselective synthesis of carbaheptopyranose derivatives
Doğan, Şengül Dilem; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2010)
In the first part of this thesis is related to the regioselectivity in ene reaction of singlet oxygen with cyclic alkenes. The photooxygenation of 1-methyl-, 2,3-dimethyl-, 1,4-dimethylcyclohexa-1,4-dienes, 1,2,3,4,5,8-hexahydronaphthalene (16) and 2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H-indene (17) which are readily available through Birch reduction, yielded the ene products. The formed endocyclic dienes were trapped by the addition of singlet oxygen to give corresponding bicyclic endoperoxy-hydroperoxides. In the case of 1...
GOPred: GO Molecular Function Prediction by Combined Classifiers
Sarac, Oemer Sinan; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010-08-31)
Functional protein annotation is an important matter for in vivo and in silico biology. Several computational methods have been proposed that make use of a wide range of features such as motifs, domains, homology, structure and physicochemical properties. There is no single method that performs best in all functional classification problems because information obtained using any of these features depends on the function to be assigned to the protein. In this study, we portray a novel approach that combines ...
Cytochrome P4502B-type protein from feral leaping mullet (Liza Saliens) liver microsomes: its isolation and biochemical and immunological characterization
Bozcaarmutlu, Azra; Arınç, Emel; Department of Biochemistry (2002)
Cytochrome P450s constitute a superfamily of hemoproteins that play important roles in oxidative metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds, and serve as catalysts that are significant in numerous and diverse biological pathways. The extent to which these various pathways or functions occur in different animal groups depend on a large degree on the participation of different P450 proteins present, their catalytic function and their regulation. Cytochrome P4502B subfamily is generally associated with d...
