The YWHAE protein also known as 14-3-3E acts as a regulatory molecule by binding to various phosphoserine-containing proteins. It plays key roles in cellular signaling and exists as a dimer. YWHAE has a molecular mass of around 29 kDa and is widely expressed in tissues including the brain heart and skeletal muscle. Its interactions often rely on its abundant presence in various cell types showing its versatility.
Biological function summary
YWHAE protein interacts with several enzymes and receptors forming complexes that affect their functional states. It is a member of the 14-3-3 family which facilitates signal transduction by binding to phosphorylated serine/threonine residues. This protein influences processes like cell cycle control apoptosis and stress responses emphasizing its significant roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
YWHAE plays significant roles in the Akt and MAPK pathways. In the Akt pathway YWHAE partners with proteins like BAD and FOXO which are important in controlling apoptosis and cell survival. In the MAPK pathway it regulates multiple proteins including Raf and MEK impacting cell growth and differentiation. Understanding YWHAE's interactions in these pathways highlights its influence in critical signaling events.
YWHAE has been tied to schizophrenia and neurodevelopmental disorders. In schizophrenia it interacts with proteins like DISC1 affecting neuronal migration and synaptic function. In neurodevelopmental disorders alterations in YWHAE can lead to compromised signaling that disrupts normal brain function. These connections highlight the importance of YWHAE in maintaining neurological health.
