DRnm23 belongs to a multigene family which includes nm23-H1, the first bona fide metastasis suppressor gene, nm23-H2, nm23-H4, and nm23-H5.

Two specific mutants of DRnm23 (H134Q and S136P), at residues required for the NDPK activity, inhibit differentiation and promote apoptosis of 32Dcl3 cells. By contrast, substitution of serine 61 with proline (S61P) or deletion of the RGD domain (ΔRGD) abrogates the effects of wild-type DRnm23.

These studies indicate that the enzymatic activity of DRnm23 is not required for the effects observed in 32Dcl3 cells.

Abstract
DRnm23 belongs to a multigene family which includes nm23-H1, the first bona fide metastasis suppressor gene, nm23-H2, nm23-H4, and nm23-H5. Like nm23-H1, nm23-H2, and nm23-H4, DRnm23 possesses nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) activity. Upon overexpression in myeloid precursor 32Dcl3 cells, DRnm23 inhibits granulocytic differentiation and promotes apoptosis. Two specific mutants of DRnm23 (H134Q and S136P), at residues required for the NDPK activity, inhibit differentiation and promote apoptosis of 32Dcl3 cells. By contrast, substitution of serine 61 with proline (S61P) or deletion of the RGD domain (ΔRGD) abrogates the effects of wild-type DRnm23. Like wild-type DRnm23, all four mutants show a predominantly mitochondrial subcellular localization. These studies indicate that the enzymatic activity of DRnm23 is not required for the effects observed in 32Dcl3 cells. Moreover, the inability of the S61P and ΔRGD DRnm23 mutants to inhibit differentiation and promote apoptosis may be due to defective protein–protein interactions at the mitochondria, the predominant site of DRnm23 subcellular localization.Pubblicazioni consigliate
