Selective escape of proteins from the mitochondria during mitophagy.Nakayama et al., Fukuoka, Japan. In Nat Commun, 01 Mar 2013
Here we show that certain mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, including FKBP38 and Bcl-2, translocate from the mitochondria to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during mitophagy, thereby escaping degradation by autophagosomes.
Serodiagnostic potential of Mycobacterium avium MAV2054 and MAV5183 proteins.Kim et al., Taejŏn, South Korea. In Clin Vaccine Immunol, 28 Feb 2013
In this study, the serodiagnostic potential of the newly identified MAV2054 and MAV5183 proteins was evaluated in subjects with MAC-PD, pulmonary TB, or latent TB and in noninfected healthy controls (HC), together with HspX and the 38-kDa antigen, well-known serodiagnostic M. tuberculosis antigens.
FK506 binding proteins as targets in anticancer therapy.Romano et al., Napoli, Italy. In Anticancer Agents Med Chem, 2010
Recent studies have focused on FKBPs in apoptosis regulation: Targeting of FKBP12 promotes apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, FKBP38 knockdown sensitizes hepatoma cells to apoptosis, and FKBP51 silencing overcomes resistance to apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, prostate cancer, melanoma, and glioma.
