The protein SAM68 also known as Src-associated in mitosis 68 kDa is a member of the STAR (Signal Transduction and Activation of RNA) family and has a mass of approximately 68 kilodaltons. SAM68 is expressed in a broad range of tissues but shows higher expression in the brain and testis. It functions mechanically as a nuclear RNA-binding protein involved in RNA metabolism alternative splicing and is linked to signal transduction pathways. The ability of SAM68 to bind RNA is important for its role in RNA processing.
Biological function summary
SAM68 impacts multiple cellular processes by regulating alternative splicing of pre-mRNA and is known to be part of a larger ribonucleoprotein complex. This functionality enables SAM68 to influence gene expression and impact cell proliferation and differentiation. By interacting with several signaling molecules it modulates processes that are vital for the proper functioning of various cell types including neurons and germ cells.
Pathways
SAM68 interacts with several signaling pathways notably the PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways where it influences cellular survival and growth. Within these pathways SAM68 interacts with proteins such as the tyrosine kinase Src which facilitates signal transduction events leading to changes in cell behavior. The protein also associates with hnRNPA1 affecting mRNA processing and influencing downstream signaling cascades.
SAM68 has connections to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal expression or mutations in SAM68 are linked to oncogenesis particularly in prostate and breast cancers where it interacts with signaling proteins like ERK. In neurodegenerative disorders SAM68 is implicated in altering neuronal RNA processing potentially contributing to diseases such as Alzheimer's with connections to proteins like tau. Understanding SAM68's role in these diseases highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.
