14-3-3 protein epsilon (YWHAE)

The protein contains 255 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 29174 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 (By similarity). Positively regulates phosphorylated protein HSF1 nuclear export to the cytoplasm (PubMed:12917326).

CLONING

Cell division cycle (CDC) proteins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) regulate the progression of cells through mitosis, and their activities are regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Interacting proteins can also affect CDC and CDK activity. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen to probe a HeLa cell library with CDC25A (116947) and CDC25B (116949) as bait, Conklin et al. (1995) isolated cDNAs encoding YWHAB (601289), which they called 14-3-3-beta, and YWHAE, which they called 14-3-3-epsilon. The deduced YWHAE contains 260-amino acids that are 100% identical to those of the mouse protein. Chong et al. (1996) isolated a full-length YWHAE cDNA. Sequence analysis predicted a 255-amino acid protein. Northern blot analysis revealed nearly ubiquitous expression of an approximately 2.0-kb transcript.

GENE STRUCTURE

Jin et al. (1996) obtained a YWHAE cDNA containing the previously unreported 3-prime untranslated region (UTR), which is perfectly conserved with rodent sequences. The 3-prime UTR included a 285-bp match with the 8-1 probe for Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome (MDLS; 247200). The authors concluded that the 3-prime YWHAE UTR and the 5-prime end of the MDLS region overlap. However, Chong et al. (1996) determined that the 8.1 probe was a chimeric cDNA and did not include the 5-prime end of the LIS1 (PAFAH2B1; 601545) gene.

MAPPING

By radiation hybrid, PCR, and FISH analyses, Chong et al. (1996) mapped the human YWHAE gene to 17p13.3, telomeric to LIS1 (PAFAH1B1), in a region frequently deleted in several types of cancer. Luk et al. (1997) confirmed this localization by FISH. Using RFLP analysis, Jin et al. (1996) mapped the mouse Ywhae gene to a position in tight linkage with Evi2 (158380).

GENE FUNCTION

Conklin et al. (1995) found that both YWHAB and YWHAE interacted with CDC25A and CDC25B but did not affect their phosphatase activities. Like YWHAB, YWHAE interacted with RAF1 (164760) but not RAS (190020) in yeast 2-hybrid screens and may facilitate the association of CDC25 with RAF1. The binding of insulin (176730) to its receptor induces the phosphorylation of the cytosolic substrates IRS1 (147545) and IRS2 (600797), which associate with several Src homology-2 (SH2) domain-containing proteins. To identify unique IRS1-binding proteins, Ogihara et al. (1997) screened a human heart cDNA expression library with recombinant IRS1. They obtained 2 isoforms of the 14-3-3 protein family, 14-3-3-zeta (YWHAZ; 601288) and -epsilon. 14-3-3 protein has been shown to associate with IRS1 in L6 myotubes, HepG2 hepatoma cells, Chinese hamster ovary cells, and bovine brain tissue. IRS2, a protein structurally similar to IRS1, was also shown to form a complex with 14-3-3 protein using a baculovirus expression system. The amount of 14-3-3 protein associated with IRS1 was not affected by insulin stimulation but was increased significantly by treatment with okadaic acid, a potent serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor. The authors identified a putative 14-3-3 protein-binding site within the phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain of IRS1. Ogihara et al. (1997) suggested that the association with 14-3-3 protein may play a role in the regulation of insulin sensitivity by interrupting the association between the insulin receptor and IRS1. Using 2-hybrid experiments, Han et al. (1997) demonstrated interaction between murine Ywhae and the RAS-binding domain of RIN1 (605965). Toyo-oka et al. (2003) repor ... More on the omim web site
