  • N terminus interacts with G beta and tethers G betagamma to the Golgi apparatus , facing the cytosol, and N-terminal end of PAQR3 can interact with the WD domains of SEC13 and SEC31A
  • multiple sequences are responsible for its localization at the Golgi apparatus and RAF1 interaction
  • first discovered Golgi protein with seven transmembrane domains

    text
  • integral to membrane
  • located at the Golgi apparatus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • acts as a spatial regulator of Raf kinase by sequestering Raf to the Golgi apparatus, thereby antagonizing the mitogen-activated protein kinase (Raf/MEK/ERK) signaling cascade
  • may play a suppressive role in melanoma that harbors an oncogenic BRAF mutation via its antagonistic action on BRAF
  • functions as a spatial regulator of RAF1 kinase by sequestrating RAF1 to the Golgi
  • inhibits G betagamma- and ligand-mediated AKT phosphorylation that is enhanced in cells with downregulation of PAQR3
  • can modulate GPCR signaling through sequestering G betagamma to the Golgi apparatus and thereby attenuating the functions of G betagamma
  • negative regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase (Raf/MEK/ERK) signaling, by sequestration of Raf kinase to the Golgi apparatus, in angiogenesis and clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
  • likely implicated in the development of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma through its regulation on angiogenesis
  • spatial regulator of Raf kinase, in VEGF-mediated signaling and angiogenesis
  • can inhibit HIF1A- and hypoxia-stimulated VEGF expression and such inhibition is mediated by the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway
  • promotes SCAP/SREBF complex formation, potentiates SREBF processing and enhances lipid synthesis
  • regulates cholesterol homeostasis by anchoring SCAP/SREBF to the Golgi and disruption of such function reduces cholesterol biosynthesis
  • PAQR3 can facilitate tethering of COPII vesicles to the Golgi
  • role for PAQR3 as a player in regulating ER-to-Golgi transport of COPII vesicles

  • interaction between PAQR3 and adiponectin may help explain the antiproliferative properties of adiponectin
  • PAQR3 interacts with SCAP and SREBF and tethers them to the Golgi
  • TWIST1 mediates the modulatory function of PAQR3 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis
  • PAQR3 plays a pivotal role in controlling hepatic LDLR degradation and blood LDL-C level via modulating LDLR-PCSK9 interaction
  • PAQR3 suppresses tumor progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through modulating EGFR-regulated autophagy
  • PAQR3 functions biologically through the pathological regulation of altered signaling pathways
  • PAQR3 inhibited proliferation and aggravated ferroptosis in Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through modulation GABPA stability
