    text
  • endogenous RASSF7 protein localizes to the centrosome
  • not recruited to the centrosome during mitosis, but localizes there in dividing and non-dividing cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • methylated-DNA-[protein]-cysteine S-methyltransferase activity
  • may function as tumour suppressors by regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis
  • having a role in spindle formation
  • centrosome-associated protein required to form a spindle and complete mitosis in the neural tube *
  • required for mitosis, a complex process involving microtubule nucleation from the spindle pole and the stable attachment of microtubules to the kinetochore
  • potential Ras effector implicated in key biological processes, including cell death, proliferation, microtubule stability, promoter methylation, vesicle trafficking and response to hypoxia
  • important regulator of microtubule dynamics
  • function crucially important for mitosis because it regulates microtubule growth from the centrosome
  • essential for anchorage-independent growth of tumoral cells
  • acts in concert with N-Ras to constitute a stress-sensitive temporary mechanism of apoptotic regulation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • integral centrosomal component whose localization is microtubule-independent
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with AURKB (primary role of RASSF7 is in regulating microtubule growth and mis-regulation of this process is responsible for the spindle defects and the loss of Aurora B activation)
  • interacts with N-Ras and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MAP2K7) to negatively regulate c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling
