Activity summary

The TRRAP (Transformation/Transcription Domain-Associated Protein) also known simply as TRAAP acts as an adaptor protein with a molecular weight of approximately 434 kDa. TRRAP is widely expressed across different tissue types playing a significant role in cellular processes. As part of a larger family of proteins linked to phosphoinositide 3-kinase-related kinases TRRAP does not perform any kinase activity despite having a structure similar to these kinases. Its primary function involves facilitating chromatin remodeling and histone acetylation.

Biological function summary

TRRAP functions as part of several multiprotein acetyltransferase complexes notably the Tip60 and SAGA complexes. These complexes modify chromatin structures affecting transcription by acetylating histone proteins which allows genes to be more accessible for transcription. This role is important for regulating gene expression making TRRAP important in cellular differentiation and proliferation. By interacting with specific compartments of the cell it participates in large chromatin-modifying machines that influence cellular outcomes.

Pathways

You will find TRRAP involved in pivotal biological routes such as the DNA damage response and Wnt signaling. In the DNA damage response pathway TRRAP interacts with Histone H4 and influences DNA repair mechanisms. TRRAP also collaborates with proteins like c-MYC in these signaling networks impacting both gene transcription and cell cycle progression. Through its associations with these pathways TRRAP assists in processes that maintain genome stability contributing to normal and pathological cellular states.

Associated diseases and disorders

TRRAP demonstrates a notable connection to cancer and neurological disorders. Mutations and aberrations in TRRAP expression levels have associations with various cancers including breast and colorectal tumors likely due to its influence on cell proliferation and survival. In the context of neurological disorders deficient TRRAP activity might relate to problems in neural development further highlighting its interaction with c-MYC in maintaining proper cellular growth balance. Understanding TRRAP's function and interactions can offer valuable insights into its role in disease mechanisms.
