OBSL1: A Protein Involved in Cell Structure, Cytoskeletal Organization and Cell Signaling

Obscurin-like cytoskeletal adaptor 1 (OBSL1) is a protein that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of cellular structure and cytoskeletal organization. OBSL1 is a member of the superfamily of cytoskeletal adaptor proteins, which are known for their ability to interact with various cytoskeleton components and contribute to the maintenance of cellular stability and integrity. OBSL1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues and cells, including muscle, nerve, and epithelial cells, and has been implicated in a number of cellular processes, including cell division, migration, and cytoskeletal organization.

One of the key functions of OBSL1 is its ability to interact with the cytoskeleton. OBSL1 is a cytoskeletal adaptor protein that is involved in the formation and maintenance of microtubules, which are the protein structures that make up the cytoskeleton. Microtubules provide structural support to the cell and help to maintain cell shape, as well as play a role in cell division and transport of organelles within the cell. OBSL1 is thought to contribute to the stability and integrity of microtubules by helping to ensure that they remain in the correct position and are able to interact with other cytoskeleton components.

Another important function of OBSL1 is its role in cell signaling. OBSL1 has been shown to be involved in a number of signaling pathways that are involved in cell growth, development, and survival. For example, OBSL1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and in the development of cancer. In addition, OBSL1 has also been shown to play a role in the regulation of cell migration and in the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

OBSL1 is also involved in the regulation of cytoskeletal organization. OBSL1 helps to ensure that the cytoskeleton is organized in a specific and orderly fashion, which is important for the proper functioning of the cell. This is thought to include the regulation of the size and arrangement of microtubules, as well as the regulation of the interactions between microtubules.

In addition to its role in cytoskeletal organization, OBSL1 is also involved in the regulation of a number of other cellular processes. For example, OBSL1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell adhesion, and in the development of diseases such as cancer. OBSL1 is also thought to play a role in the regulation of cell signaling pathways, including the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.

Given its involvement in a wide range of cellular processes, OBSL1 is an attractive target for drug development. In addition to its potential as a drug, OBSL1 is also an attractive biomarker for a number of diseases. For example, OBSL1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and has been used as a potential target for cancer therapies. In addition, OBSL1 has also been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell migration and has been used as a potential target for therapies aimed at preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Overall, OBSL1 is a protein that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of cellular structure and cytoskeletal organization. OBSL1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues and cells and is involved in a number of cellular processes, including cell division, migration, and cytoskeletal organization. As a result, OBSL1 is an attractive target for drug development and a potential biomarker for a wide range of diseases.

Protein Name: Obscurin Like Cytoskeletal Adaptor 1

Functions: Core component of the 3M complex, a complex required to regulate microtubule dynamics and genome integrity. It is unclear how the 3M complex regulates microtubules, it could act by controlling the level of a microtubule stabilizer (PubMed:24793695, PubMed:24793696). Acts as a regulator of the Cul7-RING(FBXW8) ubiquitin-protein ligase, playing a critical role in the ubiquitin ligase pathway that regulates Golgi morphogenesis and dendrite patterning in brain. Required to localize CUL7 to the Golgi apparatus in neurons
