PMEPA1 Gene

Name prostate transmembrane protein, androgen induced 1
Description This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that contains a Smad interacting motif (SIM). Expression of this gene is induced by androgens and transforming growth factor beta, and the encoded protein suppresses the androgen receptor and transforming growth factor beta signaling pathways though interactions with Smad proteins. Overexpression of this gene may play a role in multiple types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPMEPA1 was originally identified as a strongly androgen‐induced gene in LNCaP prostate cancer cells and is predominantly expressed in prostate epithelial cells. Its protein product shares significant homology with a mouse N4wbp4 protein that binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4, suggesting that PMEPA1 can interface with the ubiquitin–proteasome system to regulate the abundance of key cellular proteins. This molecular interaction is mediated by specific PY motifs within PMEPA1 that facilitate binding to WW domains of NEDD4, thereby contributing to cellular protein turnover and signal modulation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nFunctional investigations in a variety of prostate cancer cell lines (including DU145, PC3, LNCaP and their sublines) have shown that exogenous PMEPA1 expression confers potent growth inhibition. In clinical specimens from primary prostate cancer, quantitative analyses revealed that reduced PMEPA1 expression is frequently observed in tumor cells compared with matched normal cells and is significantly associated with higher pathologic stage and elevated serum prostate‐specific antigen levels. These findings support a model in which PMEPA1 acts as a tumor suppressor that helps restrain aberrant cell proliferation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOverall, PMEPA1 appears to be an important modulator of prostate cell growth, potentially through its regulation of androgen signaling and promotion of ubiquitin-mediated degradation pathways.
