BTG family signatures


Description

A novel family of anti-proliferative proteins has been recently [1,2] characterized:

  • Mammalian and avian protein BTG1. BTG1 seems to negatively regulate cell proliferation.
  • Mammalian protein BTG2 (also known as PC3 or TIS21).
  • Mammalian protein BTG3 (also known as TOB5).
  • Mammalian protein BTG4 (also known as PC3b).
  • Mammalian protein TOB, an anti-proliferative protein that interacts with the erbb-2 receptor tyrosine kinase [3].
  • Human protein TOB4.
  • Xenopus laevis maternal proteins B9.10 and B9.15 (which are probably the orthologs of BTG3).

The proteins have from 158 to 363 amino acid residues. BTG2 seems to have a signal sequence; while the other proteins may lack such a domain. The sequence of the N-terminal half of these proteins is well conserved. As signature patterns, we selected the two best conserved regions of these proteins. The first signature pattern includes the only conserved cysteine.
