Sorting Nexin 3 (SNX3) is a protein that is involved in retromer complex and has a role in recognition and trafficking of retromer cargo proteins. SNX3-retromer provides the recycling of their cargo proteins back to the plasma membrane or to Trans Golgi Network. Recent studies reveal the specificity of SNX3 in cargo recognition by acting on a recycling motif on receptor cytoplasmic tails. Considering the importance of SNX3 in receptor recycling, we hypothesized that EGFR can be one of the cargo proteins that is recognized and recycled by the SNX3-retromer. We used site-directed mutagenesis, Co-IP techniques to investigate a potential link between SNX3 and EGFR. Preliminary findings from this work will guide future experiments to further investigate protein-protein interaction.

Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data Özarar, Mert; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...
Molecular cloning, characterization, and expression analysis of a gene encoding a Ran binding protein (RanBP) in Cucumis melo L. Baloglu, Mehmet Cengiz; Zakharov, Florence Negre; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yücel, Ayşe Meral (2011-01-01) Ran binding proteins (RanBPs) are highly conserved members of the GTP-binding protein family that are involved in nuclear protein export between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In this study, a CmRanBP gene from a melon was isolated (Cucumis melo L.) using the RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) method. The 778 basepair long melon, with a RanBP cDNA encoding consisting of 197 amino acids (22.2 kDa protein), was characterized (GenBank accession no: EU853459). The predicted amino acid sequence of CmRanBP w...
Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions from the Molecular to the Proteome Level Keskin, Ozlem; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Gursoy, Attila (2016-04-27) Identification of protein protein interactions (PPIs) is at the center of molecular biology considering the unquestionable role of proteins in cells. Combinatorial interactions result in a repertoire of multiple functions; hence, knowledge of PPI and binding regions naturally serve to functional proteomics and drug discovery. Given experimental limitations to find all interactions in a proteome, computational prediction/modeling of protein interactions is a prerequisite to proceed on the way to complete int...
Investigation of SNX3 in colon cancer Cingöz, Harun; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2019) Sorting Nexin 3 (SNX3) is part of the retromer complex that recycles cargo receptors back to plasma membrane or to Trans Golgi Network. WNT ligand carrier protein Wntless (WLS) is a known SNX3 cargo protein. Our earlier data suggested over expression of SNX3 in colon cancer cells. Considering its importance in receptor recycling, we hypothesized SNX3 to be a potential modulator of cancer related receptors. To begin understanding the role of SNX3, we developed RNAi models of SNX3 in SW480 colon cancer cells ...
Characterizing the potential interplay between nucleotide excision repair and R-loops Kaya, Sezgi; Adebali, Ogün (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) R-loops have been a focus of interest in genomics due to their non-canonical structures and unclear roles on genomes of many organisms. While R-loops contribute to gene expression and efficient transcriptional termination, they cause genome instability under certain conditions. They are formed when an RNA anneals with its complementary DNA strand. A DNA:RNA hybrid is formed and the other strand of DNA is left single-stranded (ssDNA). To date, there was no clear knowledge on R-loops’ tendency for UV damage f...
