TUFM Antibody

1. Novel mutation in mitochondrial Elongation Factor EF-Tu associated to dysplastic leukoencephalopathy and defective mitochondrial DNA translation. PMID: 28132884
2. study revealed a novel role for TUFM as a host restriction factor that exerts an inhibitory effect on avian-signature PB2627E influenza virus propagation in human cells; found that increased TUFM-dependent autophagy correlates with the inhibitory effect on avian-signature influenza virus replication and may serve as a key intrinsic mechanism to restrict avian influenza virus infection in humans PMID: 28611246
3. High expression of TUFM is associated with colorectal cancer. PMID: 28449687
4. we identify a novel signaling hub centering on the NLRX1 TUFM protein complex, promoting autophagic flux. Defects in the expression of either NLRX1 or TUFM result in compromised autophagy when treated with EGFR inhibitors.These findings expand our understanding of the components involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma autophagy machinery that responds to EGFR inhibitors. PMID: 26876213
5. TUFM is a novel regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT); there may be a molecular link between mitochondrial dysfunction and EMT induction PMID: 26781467
6. NLRX1 and TUFM work in concert to reduce cytokine response and augment autophagy. PMID: 23321557
7. Increased expression of TUFM is a promising new prognostic indicator for colorectal carcinoma. PMID: 22772342
8. By recruiting Atg5-Atg12 and NLRX1, TUFM serves as a nodal checkpoint of the RIG-I-MAVS axis. It acts similarly to NLRX1 by inhibiting RigI-like-receptor-induced IFN-I but promoting autophagy. PMID: 22749352
9. Genetic investigation of patients with defective mitochondrial translation led to the discovery of novel mutations in the mitochondrial elongation factor G1 (EFG1) in one affected baby and in the mitochondrial elongation factor Tu (EFTu) in another one PMID: 17160893
10. Myoblasts isolated from the MELAS patients show A3243G mutation in tRNALeu(UUR) produces a severe respiratory chain deficiency and this phenotype can be partially suppressed by overexpression of EFTu and EFG2. PMID: 18753147
11. Results suggest that the R336Q mutant mt-EFTu variant fails to bind to aminoacylated mitochondrial tRNAs, thus explaining the observed impairment of mitochondrial translation. PMID: 19524667
