Little isknown about the consequences of these interactions, and thus are the subjects of ongoing studies. 14-3-3 controls cellcycle, cell growth, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, migration and spreading. Recent studies have revealed newmechanisms and new functions of 14-3-3, giving us more insights on this fascinating and complex family of proteins.Of all the seven isoforms, 14-3-3σ seems to be directly involved in human cancer. 14-3-3σ itself is subject to regulationby p53 upon DNA damage and by epigenetic deregulation. Gene silencing of 14-3-3σ by CpG methylation has beenfound in many human cancer types. This suggests that therapy-targeting 14-3-3σ may be beneficial for future cancertreatment.展开更多

However it is not well understood how these actin binding proteins are modulated in a physiological condition by their interaction proteins. In this study, we describe that Arabidopsis 14-3-3 λ protein interacted with actin depolymerizing factor 1(ADF1) in plant to regulate F-actin stability and dynamics. Loss of 14-3-3 λin Arabidopsis resulted in longer etiolated hypocotyls in dark and changed actin cytoskeleton architecture in hypocotyl cells. Overexpression of ADF1 repressed 14-3-3 λ mutant hypocotyl elongation and actin dynamic phenotype. In addition, the phosphorylation level of ADF1 was increased and the subcellular localization of ADF1 was altered in 14-3-3 λ mutant. Consistent with these observations, the actin filaments were more stable in 14-3-3 λ mutant. Our results indicate that 14-3-3 λ protein mediates F-actin dynamics possibly through inhibiting ADF1 phosphorylation in vivo.展开更多

The activities of sugar-metabolizing enzymes were assayed in desalted extract, and the relative expression levels of related genes in sugar metabolism were determined though real-time RT-PCR. The results indicated that glucose and fructose were mainly accumulated during the maturation of the fruit because of the high acid invertase （AI） and neutral invertase （NI） in Micro-Tom （Solanum lycopersicum） fruit, while in Solanum chmielewskii fruit, SPS which went along with the change of sucrose content led to the rapid sucrose increase during the fruit ripening. TFT1 and TFT10, belonging to 14-3-3 protein in tomato, were likely to down-regulated SPS activity during young and intumescence period.展开更多
