Data show that patients with both abnormal expression of p0071 and E-cadherin had a statistically significant shorter survival than the patients without both abnormal expression.
p0071 is required for directional vesicle movement and secretion of different KIF3-transported carriers thereby regulating the transport of intracellular membrane vesicles along microtubules.
This review article focuses on the functions of the p0071 protein and its closest relatives in regulating cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization which are critically involved in the control of cell polarity. (review)
These data support a model in which dysregulation of the FLCN-p0071 interaction leads to alterations in cell adhesion cell polarity and RhoA signaling.
The structural and functional roles of p0071 are suggested by its preferential occurrence in distinct tubule segments and its potential use as a cytodiagnostic cell type marker in renal pathology is discussed.
Data indicate that p0071 and Ect2 are transported via distinct motors and identify a novel pathway implicating KIF3 in the regulation of actin organization during cytokinesis.
p0071 bound to the first 160 amino-terminal residues of desmoplakin and also interacted directly with plakoglobin suggesting that p0071 may regulate desmosome assembly by controlling plakoglobin availability
In addition to plakoglobin p0071 is the second armadillo protein present in both types of adhesive junctions and may play a role in regulating crosstalk between adherens junctions and desmosomes.
