    basic FUNCTION
  • tumor antigen recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes
  • acting as a dominant repressor of RAR signaling
  • plays an important role in disease progression in acute leukemia
  • role for the PRAME ubiquitin ligase complex in NFY-mediated transcriptional regulation
  • plays an important role in cell proliferation and disease progression in osteosarcoma
  • PRAME is upregulated by signalling pathways that are activated in response to infection/inflammation, and its product may have dual functions as a histone-binding protein, and in directing ubiquitylation of target proteins for processing in the Golgi

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • BC-box subunit of a Cullin2-based E3 ubiquitin ligase
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • gonococcal OPA protein
  • binds to RAR in the presence of RA, preventing ligand-induced receptor activation and target gene transcription through recruitment of Polycomb proteins
  • PRAME is a substrate recognition subunit of a CUL2-based E3 ubiquitin ligase
  • link between the oncoprotein PRAME and the conserved EKC complex and support a role for both complexes in the same pathways
  • PRAME associates with EELOB and ELOC, components of Cullin E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes
