A1 Ramesh, Narayanaswamy K1 Wiskott Aldrich, Síndrome protéico AB Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) is in a complex withWASP-interacting protein (WIP). WASP levels, but not mRNA levels,were severely diminished in T cells from WIP / mice and wereincreased by introduction of WIP in these cells. The WASP bindingdomain of WIP was shown to protect WASP from degradation bycalpain in vitro. Treatment with the proteasome inhibitors MG132and bortezomib increased WASP levels in T cells from WIP / miceand in T and B lymphocytes from two WAS patients with missensemutations (R86H and T45M) that disrupt WIP binding. The calpaininhibitor calpeptin increased WASP levels in activated T and B cellsfrom the WASP patients, but not in primary T cells from the patientsor from WIP / mice. Despite its ability to increase WASP levelsproteasome inhibition did not correct the impaired IL-2 geneexpression and low F-actin content in T cells from the R86H WASpatient. These results demonstrate that WIP stabilizes WASP andsuggest that it may also be important for its function PB National Academy of Sciences SN 0027-8424 YR 2007 FD 2007 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/9826 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/9826 LA eng NO Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences U S A. 2007 Jan 16;104(3):926-31 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 22-nov-2024
