C-terminal fluorescent labeling impairs functionality of DNA mismatch repair proteinsAngela Brieger
Department of Medicine I, University of Frankfurt M, Frankfurt, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e31863. 2012..In contrast, N-terminal tagged MutLαs retained correct functionality and can be recommended both for the analysis of cellular localization and MMR efficiency...
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a rare Lynch syndrome-associated tumor in two German familiesAngela Brieger

A CRM1-dependent nuclear export pathway is involved in the regulation of MutLα subcellular localizationAngela Brieger
Medical Clinic I, Biomedical Research Laboratory, Goethe University, Frankfurt a M, Germany
Genes Chromosomes Cancer 50:59-70. 2011..In conclusion, not only a defective MMR but also impaired nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling might result in the onset of Lynch syndrome...
Cytoskeletal scaffolding proteins interact with Lynch-Syndrome associated mismatch repair protein MLH1Angela Brieger

Thymosin beta 4 expression and nuclear transport are regulated by hMLH1Angela Brieger
Department of Internal Medicine I, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Theodor Stern Kai 7, D 60590 Frankfurt a M, Germany
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 364:731-6. 2007..Moreover, loss of hMLH1 causes Tbeta4 deprivation and results in reduced migratory activity in vitro. These data give insight into novel functions of hMLH1 and probably disease related dysregulated mechanisms...
hMutSalpha forms an ATP-dependent complex with hMutLalpha and hMutLbeta on DNAGuido Plotz
Second Department of Medicine, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Theodor Stern Kai 7, D 60590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Nucleic Acids Res 30:711-8. 2002..Purified hMutLalpha showed an intrinsic affinity for DNA, with a preference for single-stranded over double-stranded DNA...
Functional analysis of hMLH1 variants and HNPCC-related mutations using a human expression systemJoerg Trojan
Second Department of Medicine, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt a M, Germany
Gastroenterology 122:211-9. 2002..To date, functional analysis of missense mutations has been performed primarily in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The aim of this study was to examine the biochemical properties of hMLH1 protein variants in a human expression system...
MUTYH gene expression and alternative splicing in controls and polyposis patientsGuido Plotz
Biomedical Research Laboratory, Medizinische Klinik 1, Klinik der Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität, Theodor Stern Kai 7, Frankfurt, Germany
Hum Mutat 33:1067-74. 2012..Since this alteration decreases protein production of the gene, an increased cancer risk for compound heterozygous carriers is possible...
BAX and caspase-5 frameshift mutations and spontaneous apoptosis in colorectal cancer with microsatellite instabilityJoerg Trojan
2nd Department of Medicine and Senckenberg Center of Pathology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Medical Center, Theodor Stern Kai 7, 60590 Frankfurt a M, Germany
Int J Colorectal Dis 19:538-44. 2004..The aim of this study was to further characterize the role of BAX and cas-5 inactivation for spontaneous apoptosis...
Expression Defect Size among Unclassified MLH1 Variants Determines Pathogenicity in Lynch Syndrome DiagnosisInga Hinrichsen
Authors Affiliations Medizinische Klinik 1, Biomedical Research Laboratory, and Medizinische Klinik 1, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, Frankfurt, Germany HNPCC Register, Clinical Research Centre, Hvidovre Hospital, Copenhagen University, Denmark and Department of Oncology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
Clin Cancer Res 19:2432-41. 2013..The functionality of these variants can be tested in the laboratory, but the results cannot be used for clinical diagnosis. We therefore aimed to establish a laboratory test that can be applied clinically...
In the erythroleukemic cell line HEL Prostate-apoptosis-response-gene-4 (par-4) fails to down-regulate Bcl-2 and to promote apoptosisSimone Boehrer
Department of Internal Medicine III, Hematology and Oncology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital, 60590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Leuk Lymphoma 45:1445-51. 2004..In conclusion we here demonstrate that in the erythroleukemic cell line HEL--in contrast to other cell types Par-4 fails to promote apoptosis and outline the underlying molecular mechanisms...

Expression of ZAP-70 protein correlates with disease stage in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and is associated with, but not generally restricted to, non-mutated Ig VH statusSoo Zin Kim
Department of Internal Medicine III, University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany
Leuk Lymphoma 45:2037-45. 2004..Furthermore, high levels of ZAP-70 correlated with Binet stages B or C indicating an involvement of ZAP-70 in mechanisms promoting growth of B-CLL cells...
