Recombinant Human Protein cereblon (CRBN)

1. mitochondrially expressed CRBN exhibited protease activity, and was induced by oxidative stress. PMID: 27417535
2. We sequenced CRBN-thalidomide binding region in 38 thalidomide embryopathy individuals and 136 Brazilians without congenital anomalies, and performed in silico analyses. Eight variants were identified, seven intronic and one in 3'UTR. PMID: 27751757
3. These findings thus contribute to a growing list of ID disorders caused by CRBN mutations, broaden the spectrum of phenotypes attributable to Autosomal-recessive non-syndromic intellectual disability (ARNS-ID)and provide new insight into genotype-phenotype correlations between CRBN mutations and the aetiology of ARNS-ID. PMID: 28143899
4. CRBN expression is of prognostic value in MM patients ineligible for ASCT treated with thalidomide as an immunomodulatory drug. With low expression indicating a possible suboptimal treatment outcome, measurement of CRBN expression might serve as additional prognostic tool in the personalized treatment approach. PMID: 27618360
5. Plasmablast differentiation, whether induced by BAFF or CD40L, is prevented by modulation of CRBN activity with CC-220, which induces degradation of the B cell differentiation factors Aiolos and Ikaros. Downregulation of these B cell differentiation processes by CC-220 modulation of CRBN provides a new therapeutic approach to treating B cell-mediated pathology in SLE. PMID: 28848067
6. High CRBN expression is associated with multiple myeloma. PMID: 28017969
7. CRBN negatively regulates TLR4 signaling via attenuation of TRAF6 and TAB2 ubiquitination. PMID: 27468689
8. Compared with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, an increased prevalence of mutations in the Ras pathway genes KRAS, NRAS, and/or BRAF (72%), as well as TP53 (26%), CRBN (12%), and CRBN pathway genes (10%) was observed. PMID: 27458004
9. dual assay demonstrated superior Cereblon IHC measurement in MM samples compared with the single IHC assay using a published commercial rabbit polyclonal Cereblon antibody and could be used to explore the potential utility of Cereblon as a biomarker in the clinic PMID: 26186254
10. IRF4 and CRBN polymorphisms affect risk and response to treatment in multiple myeloma PMID: 28083618
11. overview of the current understanding of mechanism of action of Immunomodulatory drugs via CRBN and prospects for the development of new drugs that degrade protein of interest. PMID: 27460676
12. 45.2 of multiple myeloma patients were CRBN(+). Among patients treated with thalidomide-based regimens, CRBN(+) patients showed a better treatment response than did CRBN-negative patients. There was no significant difference in survival outcomes between thalidomide- and bortezomib-based regimens in CRBN(+) patients. PMID: 27365142
13. GS is acetylated at lysines 11 and 14, yielding a degron that is necessary and sufficient for binding and ubiquitylation by CRL4(CRBN) and degradation by the proteasome. PMID: 26990986
14. Structural dynamics of the cereblon ligand binding domain. PMID: 26024445
15. Our data are consistent with the idea that the CUL4A/B-DDB1-CRBN complex catalyses the polyubiquitination and thus controls the degradation of CLC-1 channels. PMID: 26021757
16. Data suggest that cereblon (CRBN) expression in peripheral blood chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells is independent of prognostic factors and may be considered a potential biomarker. PMID: 24925210
17. High levels of full-length CRBN mRNA in lower risk 5q deletion patients are necessary for the efficacy of lenalidomide. PMID: 25284710
18. A copy number gain of CRBN gene might be responsible for developmental delay/intellectual disability. PMID: 25858704
19. Although abnormal CRBN function may be associated with intellectual disability disease onset, its cellular mechanism is still unclear. Here, we examine the role of CRBN in aggresome formation and cytoprotection. PMID: 26188093
20. Studied the protein cereblon , which has been recently indentified as a primary target of thalidomide and its C-terminal part as responsible for binding thalidomide within a domain carrying several invariant cysteine and tryptophan residues. PMID: 25569776
21. The study presents the crystal structure of human CRBN bound to DDB1 and the drug lenalidomide. PMID: 25108355
22. structures of the DDB1-CRBN complex bound to thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide PMID: 25043012
23. CRBN expression in bone marrow myeloma cells is associated with superior treatment response to lenalidomide in refractory myeloma and thalidomide/dexamethasone in new patients. CRBN is a crucial factor for the anti-MM effect of immunomodulators. PMID: 24687382
24. CRBN expression may provide a biomarker to predict response to Immunomodulatory drugs in patients with MM and its high expression can serve as a marker of good prognosis. PMID: 24118365
25. CRBN and IRF4 have been shown to be associated with response to lenalidomide in patients, these findings do not translate back to HMCLs, which could be attributable to factors present in the bone marrow microenvironment. PMID: 23992230
26. In the three intrinsically IMiD-resistant cell lines that clearly express detectable levels of cereblon, the absence of CRBN and DDB1 mutations suggest that potential cereblon-independent mechanisms of resistance exist PMID: 24166296
27. Presents a molecular model in which drug binding to cereblon results in the interaction of Ikaros and Aiolos to CRL4(CRBN) , leading to their ubiquitination, subsequent proteasomal degradation and T cell activation. PMID: 24328678
28. Data indicate that low cereblon (CRBN) expression can predict resistance to immunomodulatory drug (IMiD monotherapy and is a predictive biomarker for survival outcomes. PMID: 24129344
29. Findings suggest an approach for the treatment of mental retardation associated with cereblon nonsense mutation. PMID: 23983124
30. We investigated the role of CRBN in response to lenalidomide in myelodysplastic syndrome infants without chromosome 5 deletion. PMID: 23434730
31. We conclude that CRBN expression may be associated with the clinical efficacy of thalidomide. PMID: 23233657
32. These findings suggest that CRBN may modulate proteasome activity by directly interacting with the beta7 subunit. PMID: 23026050
33. Data show that in a cereblon-dependent fashion, lenalidomide downregulates IRF4 and SPIB, transcription factors that together prevent IFNbeta production. PMID: 22698399

39. Nonsense mutation (R419X) CRBN disturbs the development of adult brain BK(Ca) isoforms. These changes are predicted to result in BK(Ca) channels with a higher intracellular Ca(2+) sensitivity, faster activation, and slower deactivation kinetics. PMID: 18414909
