The 3D structure of the protein AP5M1. The alpha fold structure was obtained from Uniprot (AF-Q9H0R1-F1) and modeled using ChimeraX. The three domains are emphasized with color. The first domain is yellow, the second domain is teal, and the third domain is pink.
AP-5 complex subunit mu (AP5M1), otherwise known as MUDENG (MuD), is a protein that is encoded by the AP5M1gene.[4] The AP5M1 gene was originally discovered when screening for genes which helped to promote death in Fas-mediatedapoptosis.[5][6] It is a highly conserved gene.[5][7][6]
The overall function of MuD remains unclear.[15] It is known, however, that MuD regulates the expression of BAX, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins.[16][15] Due to— and dependent upon— this relationship, MuD has been able to induce cell death in tumor cells.[17][16][15]
TRAIL, an apoptosis-inducing ligand, activates caspase-8 and caspase-3, which initiate the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis by cleaving BH3 interacting-domain death agonist (Bid) into tBid, another pro-apoptotic member of the Bl-2 protein family.[19][20][21][22] MuD interferes with this process because D276 and D290 act as alternative binding sites for caspase-3, decreasing the amount of Bid that gets cleaved.[20][19][21] Tumor cells being treated with TRAIL are 32% more likely to survive when MuD is being expressed.[19]
