SCRIB
SCRIB, also known as Scribble, SCRIBL, or Scribbled homolog (Drosophila), is a scaffold protein which in humans is encoded by the ''SCRIB'' gene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=23513 )〕 It was originally isolated in Drosophila melanogaster in a pathway (also known as the Scribble complex) with DLGAP5 (Discs large) and LLGL1 (Lethal giant larvae) as a tumor suppressor. In humans, SCRIB is found as a membrane protein and is involved in cell migration, cell polarity, and cell proliferation in epithelial cells.〔 There is also strong evidence that SCRIB may play a role in cancer progression because of its strong homology to the Drosophila protein.〔 == Function ==
In ''Drosophila melanogaster'', SCRIB is involved in synaptic function, neuroblast differentiation, and epithelial polarization. Mechanistically, the human homolog is a scaffold protein linked to cellular differentiation centered on the regulation of epithelial as well as neuronal morphogenesis. Deficiency in SCRIB impairs many aspects of cell polarity and cell movement. SCRIB is also likely involved in establishing apical-basal polarity as well as progression from the G1 phase to S phase in the cell cycle as a result of its relationship with cell proliferation and exocytosis.〔 The transcribed protein products of the SCRIB gene along with DLGAP5 (Discs large) and LLGL1 (Lethal giant larvae) are components of the Scribble complex that is localized in the basolateral membrane. The Scribble complex plays a role in determining cell polarity and cell proliferation in epithelial cells. The precise mechanism by which these proteins function together is currently unknown, but they have been implicated in several signaling pathways, vesicle trafficking, and in the myosin II-actin cytoskeleton.〔 The Scribble complex has been shown to promote basolateral membrane identity by antagonizing both the Par complex and the Crumbs complex, which promote apical membrane identity.〔 These genes have also been identified as tumor suppressors in ''Drosophila melanogaster''. Since these genes are highly conserved in humans, there is evidence that they play a role in cancer progression.〔
