They are best known for their roles as receptors for the Slit family of repellent axon guidance cues. In structure, ROBOs are characterized by five C2-type Ig-like repeats, three fibronectin type III domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular domain with three (ROBO3) or four (ROBO1, 2) CC (conserved cytoplasmic) motifs. ROBO2 is a receptor for SLIT2, and probably SLIT1, which are thought to act as molecular guidance cue in cellular migration, including axonal navigation at the ventral midline of the neural tube and projection of axons to different regions during neuronal development. ROBO2 also abrogates SLIT-ROBO signaling in vitro.

ERH(enhancer of rudimentary homolog) belongs to the E(R) family. It is expressed in all tissues examined. The monomeric structure of ERH comprises a single domain consisting of three α-helices and four β-strands, which is a novel fold. In the crystal structure, ERH assumes a dimeric structure, through interactions between the β-sheet regions. The formation of an ERH dimer is consistent with the results of analytical ultracentrifugation. ERH may have a role in the cell cycle. The Drosophila protein ERH is a small protein of 14 amino acids.

MAGOH (Mago Homolog, Exon Junction Complex Subunit) is a Protein Coding gene. MAGOH is the human homolog of Drosophila mago nashi, a protein that is required for normal germplasm development in the Drosophila embryo. In mammals, mRNA expression is not limited to the germplasm, but is expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues and can be induced by serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts. The exon junction complex (EJCs) are deposited on messenger RNAs (mRNAs) during splicing and their core consists of eIF4A3, MLN51, Y14, and MAGOH. Both MAGOH proteins interact with other EJC components, incorporate into mRNA-bound EJCs, and activate nonsense-mediated decay. Diseases associated with MAGOH include Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia, Schmid Type, and Primary Autosomal Recessive Microcephaly.

TWSG1 belongs to the twisted gastrulation protein family. TWSG1 from different species are functionally equivalent. In contrast to Drosophila where TWSG1 expression is limited to early embryos, expression of TWSG1 is found throughout mouse and human development. Mutations in the TWSG1 gene cause at least some of the cells on the dorsal half of the embryo to adopt more ventral cell fates. This is thought to involve gradients of the signaling molecule decapentaplegic. TWSG1 may function as a bone morphogenetic protein signalling agonist or antagonize these activities. It can dislodge latent bone morphogenetic proteins and thus provides a permissive signal that allows high BMP signaling in the embryo. TWSG1 is a cofactor in the antagonism of chordin to BMP signaling. It also binds both the vertebrate Decapentaplegic ortholog BMP4 and chordin and forms ternary complexes. Meanwhile, TWSG1 increases binding of chordin to BMP4, potentiates the ability of chordin to induce secondary axes in Xenopus embryos, and enhances chordin cleavage by vertebrate proteases related to tolloid at a site poorly used in the absence of TWSG1. The presence of TWSG1 enhances the secondary axis-inducing activity of 2 products of chordin cleavage.

DLL1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with hFc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 82.82 kDa and the accession number is A0A384P5C6.

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV42H2, also known as Suppressor of variegation 4-2 homolog 2, Su(var)4-2 homolog 2, Lysine N-methyltransferase 5C, SUV42H2 and KMT5C, is nucleus protein that belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family and Suvar4-2 subfamily. SUV42H2 is a histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-2' of histone H4. H4 'Lys-2' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. SUV42H2 mainly functions in pericentric heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the establishment of constitutive heterochromatin in these regions. SUV42H1 is targeted to histone H3 via its interaction with RB1 family proteins (RB1, RBL1 and RBL2). FRAP experiments reveal that SUV42H2 is strongly associated with pericentric heterochromatin. The fraction of SUV42H2 captured and characterized by TAP/MS is a soluble fraction which may be in a stable association with HP1. SUV42H2 may be recruited to heterochromatin in association with HP1, and stably maintained at its heterochromatin sites in an HP1-independent fashion.

Calcium and integrin-binding protein 2 (CIB2) belongs to a protein family with four known members, CIB1 through CIB4, which are characterized by multiple calcium-binding EF-hand domains. Sensorineural hearing loss is genetically heterogeneous. The mutations in CIB2, which encodes a calcium- and integrin-binding protein, are associated with nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB48) and Usher syndrome type 1J (USH1J). Furthermore, in zebrafish and Drosophila melanogaster, CIB2 is essential for the function and proper development of hair cells and retinal photoreceptor cells. We also show that CIB2 is a new member of the vertebrate Usher interactome. Variants in CIB2 can underlie either Usher syndrome type I (USH1J) or nonsyndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) (DFNB48). CIB2 is widely expressed in various human and animal tissues, mainly in skeletal muscle, nervous tissue, inner ear, and retina. The CIB2 protein is responsible for maintaining Ca(2+) homeostasis in cells and interacting with integrins-transmembrane receptors essential for cell adhesion, migration, and activation of signaling pathways. Calcium signaling pathway is crucial for signal transduction in the inner ear, and integrins regulate hair cell differentiation and maturation of the stereocilia.

TLR4, also known as TLR-4, is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. TLR4 is most abundantly expressed in placenta, and in myelomonocytic subpopulation of the leukocytes. TLR 4 has also been designated as CD284 (cluster of differentiation 284). It has been implicated in signal transduction events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) found in most gram-negative bacteria. TLR4 Cooperates with LY96 and CD14 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It acts via MYD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. It is also involved in LPS-independent inflammatory responses triggered by Ni(2+).

MST1 and MST2 are the mammalian Ste2-related protein kinases most closely related to Drosophila Hippo, a major regulator of cell proliferation and survival during development. Overexpression of MST1 or MST2 in mammalian cells is proapoptotic. MST1 and MST2 activity increase during mitosis, especially in nocodazole-arrested mitotic cells, where these kinases exhibit an increase in both abundance and activation. MST1 and MST2 also can be activated nonphysiologically by okadaic acid or H2O2. The MOB1B and MOBKL1B polypeptides, homologs of the Drosophila MATS polypeptide, are identified as preferred MST1/MST2 substrates in vitro and are phosphorylated in cells in an MST1/MST2-dependent manner in mitosis and response to okadaic acid or H2O2. MST1/MST2-catalyzed MOB1B/MOBKL1B phosphorylation alters the ability of MOB1B/MOBKL1B to bind and regulate downstream targets such as the NDR-family protein kinases. Thus, MOB1B/MOBKL1B phosphorylation in cells promotes MOB1B/MOBKL1B binding to the LATS1 kinase and enables H2O2-stimulated LATS1 activation loop phosphorylation. Most importantly, the replacement of endogenous MOB1B/MOBKL1B by a non-phosphorylatable mutant is sufficient to accelerate cell proliferation substantially by speeding progression through G1/S as well as mitotic exit.

Tribbles homolog 2, also known as TRB-2, and Trib2, is a member of the protein kinase superfamily and Tribbles subfamily (Trib1, Trib2, Trib3). The identification of tribbles as regulators of signal processing systems and physiological processes, including development, together with their potential involvement in diabetes and cancer, has generated considerable interest in these proteins. Tribbles have been reported to regulate the activation of some intracellular signalling pathways with roles extending from mitosis and cell activation to apoptosis and modulation of gene expression. Tribbles control the timing of mitosis in the prospective mesoderm, allowing cell-shape changes to be completed. This mechanism for coordinating cell division and cell-shape changes may have helped Drosophila to evolve its mode of rapid early development. Trib2 was identified as a downregulated transcript in leukemic cells undergoing growth arrest. Trib2-transduced bone marrow cells exhibited a growth advantage and readily established factor-dependent cell lines. Trib2-reconstituted mice uniformly developed fatal transplantable acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

Teneurin-2 is a member of a novel family of transmembrane proteins characterized to date in fish, birds, mammals, and Drosophila (e.g., the pair-rule gene product Ten-m). Teneurin-2, a vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila pair-rule gene ten-m/odz, is revealed to be a membrane-bound transcription regulator. In the nucleus, the intracellular domain of teneurin-2 colocalizes with promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein in nuclear bodies implicated in transcription control.

GPR114 belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. Members of this family share a common molecular architecture which consists of seven transmembrane domains, three extracellular loops, three intracellular loops, an amino-terminal extracellular domain, and an intracellular carboxyl terminus. It is thought that light acts as the activating stimulus of a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). GPCRs are expected to have a molecular function (G-protein coupled receptor activity) and to localize in various compartments (endoplasmic reticulum membrane, plasma membrane, integral to the membrane). Family B of the GPCRs is a small but structurally and functionally diverse group of proteins that includes receptors for polypeptide hormones, molecules thought to mediate intercellular interactions at the plasma membrane, and a group of Drosophila proteins that regulate stress responses and longevity. GPR114 contains 1 GPS domain. GPR114 gene has been proposed to participate in processes (G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway, neuropeptide signaling pathway).

Moesin is a member of the ERM family which includes ezrin and radixin. ERM proteins, highly related members of the larger protein 4.1 superfamily, can exist in an active or inactive conformation. It seems that ERM proteins function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and actin-based cytoskeletons. The sole Drosophila ERM protein, moesin, functions to promote cortical actin assembly and apical-basal polarity. As a result, cells lacking moesin lose epithelial characteristics and adopt invasive migratory behavior. It is localized to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell-cell recognition and signaling and cell movement. Moesin contains 1 FERM domain and is expressed in all tissues and cultured cells studied. Moesin has been shown to interact with CD43, Neutrophil cytosolic factor 1, VCAM-1, Neutrophil cytosolic factor 4, ICAM3, and EZR.

DPY30 domain containing 2 belongs to the dpy-30 family. Dumpy-30 family members act as determinants of male fertility and interaction partners of metal-responsive transcription factor 1 (MTF-1) in Drosophila. MTF-1 plays a key role in transition metal detoxification and homeostasis. It binds to metal response elements (MREs). Two candidate dMTF-1 interactors are related to the small regulatory protein Dumpy-30 (Dpy-30) of the worm C. elegans. Dpy-30 is the founding member of a protein family involved in chromatin modifications, notably histone methylation. Mutants affect mating type in yeast and male mating in C. elegans. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, DPY30 domain containing 2 is involved in methylation and dimethylation at 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. DPY30 domain containing 2 may also play an indirect or direct role in endosomal transport.

tRNA (guanine-N(7)-)-methyltransferase, also known as Methyltransferase-like protein 1, tRNA (m7G46)-methyltransferase and METTL1, is a nucleus protein that belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily and TrmB family. METTL1 gene has been identified by its sequence similarity to the yeast ORF YDL21w. The human cDNA and the genomic structure of METTL1 have been analyzed. The transcript contains 1292 nucleotides and codes for a protein of 276 amino acids. The METTL1 gene product shows high sequence similarities to putative proteins from mouse, Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans, and yeast (39.8% identity between all six species). Computer analyses of the deduced protein sequence reveal two highly conserved amino acid motifs, one of which is typical for methyltransferases. Both motifs are also present in hypothetical proteins from eubacteria. Disruption of the homologous yeast ORF YDL21w shows that the gene is at least not essential for vegetative growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Transforming protein RhoA, also known as Rho cDNA clone 12, Ras homolog gene family member A, RHOA and ARH12, is a cell membrane and cytoplasm protein that belongs to the small GTPase superfamily and Rho family. The Rho family of small GTPases plays a key role in the dynamic regulation of the actin cytoskeleton that underlies various important cellular functions such as shape changes, migration, and polarity. RHOA / ARH12 is part of a larger family of related proteins known as the Ras superfamily; proteins involved in the regulation and timing of cell division. RHOA / ARH12 is a small GTPase protein known to regulate the actin cytoskeleton in the formation of stress fibers. It acts upon two known effector proteins: ROCK1 (Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1) and DIAPH1 ( diaphanous homolog 1 (Drosophila) ). RHOA / ARH12 regulates a signal transduction pathway linking plasma membrane receptors to the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers. RHOA / ARH12 serves as a target for the yopT cysteine peptidase from Yersinia pestis, vector of the plague, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes gastrointestinal disorders. RHOA / ARH12 may be an activator of PLCE1. It is activated by ARHGEF2, which promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP.
