The S100 protein family consists of low-molecular-weight proteins with individual members like S100B and S100A4 each having distinct roles. S100 proteins range typically between 9 to 13 kDa in mass. They are expressed broadly but especially in the central nervous system where glial cells are an important source and in several epithelial tissues including melanocytes. These proteins are noted for their calcium-binding properties facilitated by EF-hand motifs influencing both intracellular and extracellular processes.
Biological function summary
S100 proteins drive diverse cellular functions such as regulation of cell cycle differentiation and motility. They often operate as dimers and participate in the formation of protein complexes impacting cellular signaling networks. By binding calcium S100 proteins undergo conformational changes that allow interaction with target proteins modulating processes like cytoskeleton dynamics and neuronal survival.
Pathways
S100 proteins are significant in the regulation of the MAPK/ERK and NF-kB pathways. These pathways are critical for cell proliferation apoptosis and response to environmental stress. S100B in particular interacts with the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) influencing downstream signaling cascades and amplifying the cellular response to inflammatory stimuli.
S100 proteins are implicated in the progression of conditions such as melanoma and Alzheimer's disease. In melanoma S100B levels serve as a biomarker reflecting disease progression potentially interacting with p53 to diminish its tumor suppressor function. In Alzheimer's disease S100B overexpression correlates with neuroinflammation and neuronal damage highlighting its association with disease through pathways involving amyloid-beta and tau proteins.
