14-3-3 protein eta (YWHAH)

The protein contains 246 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 28219 Da.

 

Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. Negatively regulates the kinase activity of PDPK1. (updated: April 1, 2015)

DESCRIPTION

Protein 14-3-3 is a protein kinase-dependent activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases (191290, 191060) and an endogenous inhibitor of protein kinase C (176960). The 14-3-3 protein exists in several distinct forms: e.g., beta (YWHAB; 601289), gamma (YWHAG; 605356), epsilon (YWHAE; 605066), zeta (YWHAZ; 601288), theta (YWHAQ; 609009), sigma (SFN; 601290), and eta (YWHAH).

CLONING

Ichimura-Ohshima et al. (1992) reported a cDNA clone of mRNA encoding human 14-3-3 protein. The 1,730-nucleotide sequence of the cDNA contained a 191-bp 5-prime noncoding region, the complete 738-bp coding region, and an 801-bp 3-prime noncoding region with 3 canonical polyadenylation signals. The eta chain encoded by the cDNA is a 246-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular weight of 28,196. The predicted amino acid sequence of the human 14-3-3 protein eta was highly homologous to that of previously reported bovine and rat proteins with only 2 amino acid differences. Northern blot analysis demonstrated widespread expression of the eta chain in cultured cell lines derived from various human tumors.

GENE STRUCTURE

Muratake et al. (1996) determined that the human YWHAH gene has 2 exons separated by an intron of approximately 8 kb. Using S1 nuclease mapping, primer extension, and RACE PCR, Muratake et al. (1996) identified the transcription initiation site. They also identified several regulatory element sequences, including CRE, in the 5-prime noncoding region. Muratake et al. (1996) noted that the presence of a CRE binding element may indicate that this gene is involved in brain responses to narcotics. The authors also found changes in a 7-bp repeat sequence (GCCTGCA) located in the noncoding region of exon 1 and they speculated that these changes, or other changes in the sequence of this gene, may be associated with neuropsychiatric disorders.

MAPPING

Ichimura-Ohshima et al. (1992) used spot blot hybridization analysis with flow sorted chromosomes to show that the eta chain is located on chromosome 22. Tommerup and Leffers (1996) mapped the YWHAH gene to 22q12 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Muratake et al. (1996) used FISH to refine the mapping of the YWHAH gene to 22q12.1-q13.1.

GENE FUNCTION

The 14-3-3 family of proteins mediates signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. Using phosphoserine-oriented peptide libraries to probe all mammalian and yeast 14-3-3s, Yaffe et al. (1997) identified 2 different binding motifs, RSXpSXP and RXY/FXpSXP, present in nearly all known 14-3-3 binding proteins. The crystal structure of YWHAZ (601288) complexed with the phosphoserine motif in polyoma middle-T was determined to 2.6-angstrom resolution. The authors showed that the 14-3-3 dimer binds tightly to single molecules containing tandem repeats of phosphoserine motifs, implicating bidentate association as a signaling mechanism with molecules such as Raf, BAD (603167), and Cbl. Simsek-Duran et al. (2004) found that a 14-3-3 protein from rodent brain lysate bound phosphorylated residue ser413 of the Rim1 (606629) protein, whereas it did not bind to nonphosphorylatable Rim1 mutants. Presynaptic transfection with a dominant-negative 14-3-3-eta mutant protein, which showed reduced binding to Rim1, inhibited mouse cerebellar long-term potentiation (LTP). The authors concluded that 14-3-3 is a necessary downstream component of the ser413-Rim1 pathway involv ... More on the omim web site
