DDX3X: A Drug Target / Disease Biomarker

DDX3X is a protein that is expressed in the brain and is known for its role in the development and progression of several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. It is also a potential drug target for several diseases, including cancer.

The discovery of DDX3X comes from a research study conducted by a team of scientists at the University of California, San Diego. The study identified DDX3X as a potential drug target for several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

According to the study, DDX3X is a protein that is expressed in the brain and is involved in the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, which are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that higher levels of DDX3X were associated with higher levels of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.

In addition, the study found that DDX3X was also associated with the development of other neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. The researchers believe that these disorders may be caused by the overproduction or dysfunction of DDX3X.

The potential drug targets for DDX3X are derived from the study's findings. The researchers identified several potential drug targets for DDX3X, including those that target the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, the neurotransmitter dopamine, and the protein tau.

According to the study, the researchers tested the effectiveness of several drugs against DDX3X in a cell culture model of Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that the drugs that inhibited the formation of beta-amyloid plaques and the neurotransmitter dopamine were effective in reducing the levels of DDX3X in the brain and improving the performance of the brain in the disease model.

The researchers also tested the effectiveness of the drug candidate in a animal model of Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that the drugs that inhibited the formation of beta-amyloid plaques and the neurotransmitter dopamine were effective in reducing the levels of DDX3X in the brain and improving the performance of the brain in the disease model.

The potential drug targets for DDX3X are still under investigation, but the results of the study provide some hope thatDDX3X may be a useful drug target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders.

In conclusion, DDX3X is a protein that is expressed in the brain and is involved in the development and progression of several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. The potential drug targets for DDX3X are derived from a research study that identified it as a potential drug target for several neurological disorders. Further research is needed to confirm its potential as a drug target and to develop safe and effective treatments.

Protein Name: DEAD-box Helicase 3 X-linked

Functions: Multifunctional ATP-dependent RNA helicase (PubMed:17357160, PubMed:21589879, PubMed:31575075). The ATPase activity can be stimulated by various ribo-and deoxynucleic acids indicative for a relaxed substrate specificity (PubMed:29222110). In vitro can unwind partially double-stranded DNA with a preference for 5'-single-stranded DNA overhangs (PubMed:17357160, PubMed:21589879). Binds RNA G-quadruplex (rG4s) structures, including those located in the 5'-UTR of NRAS mRNA (PubMed:30256975). Involved in many cellular processes, which do not necessarily require its ATPase/helicase catalytic activities (Probable). Involved in transcription regulation (PubMed:16818630, PubMed:18264132). Positively regulates CDKN1A/WAF1/CIP1 transcription in an SP1-dependent manner, hence inhibits cell growth. This function requires its ATPase, but not helicase activity (PubMed:16818630, PubMed:18264132). CDKN1A up-regulation may be cell-type specific (PubMed:18264132). Binds CDH1/E-cadherin promoter and represses its transcription (PubMed:18264132). Potentiates HNF4A-mediated MTTP transcriptional activation; this function requires ATPase, but not helicase activity. Facilitates HNF4A acetylation, possibly catalyzed by CREBBP/EP300, thereby increasing the DNA-binding affinity of HNF4 to its response element. In addition, disrupts the interaction between HNF4 and SHP that forms inactive heterodimers and enhances the formation of active HNF4 homodimers. By promoting HNF4A-induced MTTP expression, may play a role in lipid homeostasis (PubMed:28128295). May positively regulate TP53 transcription (PubMed:28842590). Associates with mRNPs, predominantly with spliced mRNAs carrying an exon junction complex (EJC) (PubMed:17095540, PubMed:18596238). Involved in the regulation of translation initiation (PubMed:18628297, PubMed:17667941, PubMed:22872150). Not involved in the general process of translation, but promotes efficient translation of selected complex mRNAs, containing highly structured 5'-untranslated regions (UTR) (PubMed:20837705, PubMed:22872150). This function depends on helicase activity (PubMed:20837705, PubMed:22872150). Might facilitate translation by resolving secondary structures of 5'-UTRs during ribosome scanning (PubMed:20837705). Alternatively, may act prior to 43S ribosomal scanning and promote 43S pre-initiation complex entry to mRNAs exhibiting specific RNA motifs, by performing local remodeling of transcript structures located close to the cap moiety (PubMed:22872150). Independently of its ATPase activity, promotes the assembly of functional 80S ribosomes and disassembles from ribosomes prior to the translation elongation process (PubMed:22323517). Positively regulates the translation of cyclin E1/CCNE1 mRNA and consequently promotes G1/S-phase transition during the cell cycle (PubMed:20837705). May activate TP53 translation (PubMed:28842590). Required for endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced ATF4 mRNA translation (PubMed:29062139). Independently of its ATPase/helicase activity, enhances IRES-mediated translation; this activity requires interaction with EIF4E (PubMed:17667941, PubMed:22323517). Independently of its ATPase/helicase activity, has also been shown specifically repress cap-dependent translation, possibly by acting on translation initiation factor EIF4E (PubMed:17667941). Involved in innate immunity, acting as a viral RNA sensor. Binds viral RNAs and promotes the production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) (PubMed:31575075, PubMed:20127681, PubMed:21170385). Potentiate MAVS/RIGI-mediated induction of IFNB in early stages of infection (PubMed:20127681, PubMed:21170385). Enhances IFNB1 expression via IRF3/IRF7 pathway and participates in NFKB activation in the presence of MAVS and TBK1 (PubMed:18583960, PubMed:18636090, PubMed:21170385, PubMed:27980081, PubMed:19913487). Involved in TBK1 and IKBKE-dependent IRF3 activation leading to IFNB induction, acts as a scaffolding adapter that links IKBKE and IRF3 and coordinates their activation (PubMed:23478265). Involved in the TLR7/TLR8 signaling pathway leading to type I interferon induction, including IFNA4 production. In this context, acts as an upstream regulator of IRF7 activation by MAP3K14/NIK and CHUK/IKKA. Stimulates CHUK autophosphorylation and activation following physiological activation of the TLR7 and TLR8 pathways, leading to MAP3K14/CHUK-mediated activatory phosphorylation of IRF7 (PubMed:30341167). Also stimulates MAP3K14/CHUK-dependent NF-kappa-B signaling (PubMed:30341167). Negatively regulates TNF-induced IL6 and IL8 expression, via the NF-kappa-B pathway. May act by interacting with RELA/p65 and trapping it in the cytoplasm (PubMed:27736973). May also bind IFNB promoter; the function is independent of IRF3 (PubMed:18583960). Involved in both stress and inflammatory responses (By similarity). Independently of its ATPase/helicase activity, required for efficient stress granule assembly through its interaction with EIF4E, hence promot
