MPP5 also known as Pals1 is a membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein. It has a molecular weight of approximately 75 kDa. MPP5 is expressed in various tissues with significant levels in the brain retina and epithelial cells. MPP5 is important in cell junction organization ensuring proper cellular architecture and polarity. It occupies a role as a scaffolding protein forming large protein complexes at cell membranes.
Biological function summary
MPP5 is part of the Crumbs protein complex which includes Crb3 and PatJ proteins. This complex is essential for maintaining apical-basal polarity in epithelial cells. MPP5 contributes to cell polarity and adhesion ensuring integrity and proper functioning of epithelial tissue. Disruptions in this protein complex can lead to loss of cell polarity affecting tissue organization and stability.
Pathways
MPP5 interacts with proteins in the Hippo signaling pathway which controls organ size and cell growth. MPP5 influences the activity of YAP (Yes-associated protein) a critical component in the Hippo pathway. YAP regulation by MPP5 can affect cellular proliferation and apoptosis linking MPP5 to tissue growth and regeneration processes.
Mutations or dysregulation in MPP5 have connections to retinal degeneration and epithelial cancers. Its interaction with proteins like CRB1 in the retina influences photoreceptor development and retinal maintenance. Abnormal expression of MPP5 can lead to disrupted cell polarity contributing to cancer progression and tumor metastasis in epithelial tissues. Understanding MPP5's role in these diseases helps in identifying potential therapeutic targets.
