Taspase 1 (TASP1) cleaves the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) and transcription factor (TF) IIA families of nuclear proteins to orchestrate various biological processes. TASP1 is not a classical oncogene, but assists in cell proliferation and permits oncogenic initiation through cleavage of MLL and TFIIA. TASP1 is thus better classified as a "non-oncogene addiction" protease, and targeting TASP1 offers a novel and attractive anticancer therapeutic strategy.
塔斯帕酶1(TASP1)可切割核蛋白的混合谱系白血病(MLL)和转录因子(TF)IIA家族,以协调各种生物学过程。TASP1不是经典的癌基因,但通过切割MLL和TFIIA来协助细胞增殖并促进致癌起始。因此,TASP1更适合归类为“非癌基因成瘾”蛋白酶,靶向TASP1提供了一种新颖且有吸引力的抗癌治疗策略。
