Interacting partners of FEN1 and its role in the development of anticancer therapeutics

Oncotarget. 2017 Apr 18;8(16):27593-27602. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.15176.

Abstract

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays a key role in cellular communication, Protein-protein interaction connected with each other with hubs and nods involved in signaling pathways. These interactions used to develop network based biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer. FEN1(Flap endonuclease 1) is a central component in cellular metabolism, over expression and decrease of FEN1 levels may cause cancer, these regulation changes of Flap endonuclease 1reported in many cancer cells, to consider this data may needs to develop a network based biomarker. The current review focused on types of PPI, based on nature, detection methods and its role in cancer. Interacting partners of Flap endonuclease 1 role in DNA replication repair and development of anticancer therapeutics based on Protein-protein interaction data.

Keywords: FEN1; modifications; posttranslational; protein-protein interaction; small molecular inhibitors.
