"To address this intriguing hypothesis, we went on to examine whether difopein co-expression may affect Cul7-mediated degradation of Eag1 proteins.Consistent with its known degradative effect on Eag1, Cul7 over-expression resulted in notable reduction of Eag1 protein level in HEK293T cells (Fig. 8A), whereas siRNA knock-down of endogenous Cul7 expression led to more than four-fold increase in Eag1 protein level (Fig. 8B)."

"12 and 13 are in agreement with the notion that 14-3-3θ homodimer may regulate Cul7-mediated Eag1 degradation by facilitating the direct interaction between Cul7 E3 ligase complexes and Eag1 subunits.Previous studies of 14-3-3 oligomerization suggest that both homo- and hetero-dimerization are crucial for 14-3-3 scaffolding function with substrate proteins [55]."

"Given the chaperone-like role of 14-3-3 proteins in promoting Cul7-mediated Eag1 degradation, it will be interesting to explore the tumor suppression potential of 14-3-3-targeting chemicals in Eag1-expressing cancers.Mutations in the genes encoding human Eag1 K channel have been linked to the congenital neurodevelopmental anomalies TMBTS and ZLS [7–9]."
