| Description | 2349 amino acids, 267 kDa. The protein contains extensive coilecoiled domains and an acidic globular C-terminus, and is phosphorylated. |
| Expression | widespread, if not ubiquitous; highest in testis, thymus, spleen and brain, lower levels in heart, liver and kidney. |
| Localisation | nucleoplasmic side of the nucleopore and discrete foci in the nuclear interior, binds to the nucleoporin Nup98. |
| Function | still controversial, part of a filamentous intranuclear network, role in nuclear protein and/or polyA+RNA export. |
| Homology | yeast Mlp1 and Mlp2, drosophila Bx34 , xenopus Tpr. |
| Entity | gastric cancers with TPR- MET hybrid gene |
| Disease | the TPR-MET oncogenic rearrangement is present and expressed in human gastric carcinoma and precursor lesions |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | 5' TPR- 3'MET 5 kb mRNA |
| Abnormal Protein | 65 kDa, The fusion protein contains the constitutive promoter and first 424 coding nucleotides (142 amino acids) of Tpr, and the the tyrosine kinase domain of the c-met protooncogene. |
| Oncogenesis | transgenic expression of TPR-MET oncogene leads to development of mammary hyperplasia and tumors. |
| | |
| Entity | humanpapillary thyroid carcinomas with TPR- NTRK1 hybrid gene |
| Hybrid/Mutated Gene | TRK-T1 (TPR-NTRK1): 598 nucleotides of the TPR gene 5' end are fused to 1148 bp of the TRK proto-oncogene which contain the TRK tyrosine kinase domain. TRK-T2 : 3073 nucleotides of Tpr 5' end fused to 1412 nucleotides of TRK . There is another hybrid gene between TPR and NTRK1 named TRK-T4. Arise by paracentric inversions on chromosome 1. |
| Abnormal Protein | 55 kDa for the TRK-T1 fusion protein. |
| Oncogenesis | TRK-T1 induces neoplastic transformation of thyroid epithelium in transgenic mice expressing the hybrid gene. |
| | |
| Entity | rat induced tumors (adenocarcinomas and fibroblastomas). with Tpr-raf |
| | |
| Rat c-raf oncogene activation by a rearrangement that produces a fused protein. |
