    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the field of human genetics. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods and materials used to isolate and detect a human prostate cancer predisposing gene (HPC2), some alleles of which cause susceptibility to cancer, in particular prostate cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to germline mutations in the HPC2 gene and their use in the diagnosis of predisposition to prostate cancer. The invention also relates to presymptomatic therapy of individuals who carry deleterious alleles of the HPC2 gene. The invention further relates to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in human prostate cancer and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human prostate cancer. Additionally, the invention relates to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in other human cancers and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers. The invention also relates to the therapy of human cancers which have a mutation in the HPC2 gene, (including gene therapy, protein replacement therapy, protein mimetics, and inhibitors). The invention further relates to the screening of drugs for cancer therapy. The invention also relates to the screening of the HPC2 gene for mutations, which are useful for diagnosing the predisposition to prostate cancer. In addition, the invention relates to a paralog of human HPC2, the paralog being named ELAC1, and to orthologs of human HPC2, these being mouse Elac2, chimpanzee Elac2 and gorilla Elac2.

    摘要: Recent evidence indicates that the carboxy-terminal region of the tumor suppressor protein BRCA1 is a functionally significant domain. Using the yeast two-hybrid assay and an in vitro biochemical assay, it is here shown that a protein, B112, interacts specifically with the carboxy-terminal segment of human BRCA1 from residue 1602 to 1863. A germ line truncation mutation, 1853ter, that removes the last 11 amino acids from the carboxy-terminus of BRCA1 abolishes not only the transcription activation function, but also binding to B112. The B112 protein is apparently the same as an uncharacterized protein known as CtIP, the sequence of which was previously deposited in GenBank. Screenings of a panel of 92 tumor cell lines for mutations in the B112/CtIP sequence have identified a number of missense variants, including a non-conserved lysine to glutamic acid change at codon 337 in the pancreatic cancer line, BxPC3. Taken together, these results indicate that B112/CtIP participates in a common biochemical pathway as BRCA1 and that the interaction of these two proteins may be required for the tumor suppressor function of BRCA1.
