Description:
Tumstatin is a 28-kilodalton fragment of type IV collagen that displays both anti-angiogenic and proapoptotic activity. Here we show that tumstatin functions as an endothelial cell-specific inhibitor of protein synthesis. Through a requisite interaction with alphaVbeta3 integrin, tumstatin inhibits activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and it prevents the dissociation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E protein (eIF4E) from 4E-binding protein 1. These results establish a role for integrins in mediating cell-specific inhibition of cap-dependent protein synthesis and suggest a potential mechanism for tumstatin's selective effects on endothelial cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maeshima, Yohei -- Sudhakar, Akulapalli -- Lively, Julie C -- Ueki, Kohjiro -- Kharbanda, Surender -- Kahn, C Ronald -- Sonenberg, Nahum -- Hynes, Richard O -- Kalluri, Raghu -- DK-51711/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK-55001/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01-HL66105/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jan 4;295(5552):140-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Matrix Biology, Department of Medicine and the Cancer Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11778052" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
