Anti-Malignant T cell amplified sequence 1 antibody (ab2186)

Function

Anti-oncogene that play a role in cell cycle regulation; decreases cell doubling time and anchorage-dependent growth; shortens the duration of G1 transit time and G1/S transition. When constituvely expressed, increases CDK4 and CDK6 kinases activity and CCND1/cyclin D1 protein level, as well as G1 cyclin/CDK complex formation. Plays a role as translation enhancer; Recruits the density-regulated protein/DENR and binds to the cap complex of the 5'-terminus of mRNAs, subsequently altering the mRNA translation profile; Up-regulates protein levels of BCL2L2, TFDP1, MRE11A, CCND1 and E2F1, while mRNA levels remains constant. Hyperactivates DNA damage signaling pathway; increased gamma-irradiation-induced phosphorylation of histone H2AX, and induces damage foci formation. Increases the overall number of chromosomal abnormalities such as larger chromosomes formation and multiples chromosomal fusions when over-expressed in gamma-irradiated cells. May play a role in promoting lymphoid tumor development: lymphoid cell lines over-expressing MCTS1 exhibit increased growth rates and display increased protection against apoptosis. May contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer via promotion of angiogenesis through the decline of inhibitory THBS1/thrombospondin-1, and inhibition of apoptosis. Involved in the process of proteasome degradation to down-regulate Tumor suppressor p53/TP53 in breast cancer cell; Positively regulates phosphorylation of MAPK1 and MAPK3.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous. Over-expressed in T-cell lymphoid cell lines and in non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines as well as in a subset of primary large B-cell lymphomas.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MCTS1 family.
Contains 1 PUA domain.

Domain

The PUA RNA-binding domain is critical for cap binding, but not sufficient for translation enhancer function. MCT1 N-terminal region is required to enhance translation possibly trough interaction with other proteins.

Post-translational
modifications

Phosphorylation is critical for stabilization and promotion of cell proliferation.

Cellular localization

Cytoplasm. Nuclear relocalization after DNA damage.
