Activity summary

14-3-3 gamma also known as YWHAG or 14-3-3 gamma protein is a member of the 14-3-3 protein family. These proteins play significant roles in signal transduction. 14-3-3 gamma is a dimeric protein with a molecular mass of about 28 to 32 kDa per monomer. It is ubiquitously expressed including in tissues such as brain muscle and heart. This protein influences a wide range of cellular processes by interacting with various signaling proteins often through recognition of phosphorylated serine or threonine motifs.

Biological function summary

Proteins within the 14-3-3 family like the 14-3-3 gamma function as adaptors and scaffolds in signal transduction pathways. They are part of multi-protein complexes that modulate interactions among proteins within the cell. 14-3-3 gamma interacts dynamically with a variety of target proteins assisting in their activities and proper localization. Its interaction facilitates cellular processes including cell cycle control apoptosis and stress response owing to its activity as a regulator of distinct signaling pathways.

Pathways

14-3-3 gamma participates in the MAPK/ERK pathway which is pivotal for cell growth and differentiation. It also plays an integral role in the PI3K/AKT pathway which contributes to survival and proliferation signals. In these pathways 14-3-3 gamma interacts with important kinases such as Raf and AKT. These interactions help transduce signals from receptors on the cell surface to the nucleus impacting gene expression and cellular responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research has linked 14-3-3 gamma to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In Alzheimer's 14-3-3 gamma interacts with proteins like tau which become abnormally phosphorylated and aggregate. Additionally this protein has associations with certain cancers where it might influence tumor growth and progression through interactions with cell cycle regulatory proteins. Its modulation of key signaling pathways makes it a candidate of interest in the development of therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
