RESUMO
Dystrophin Dp40 is the shortest protein encoded by the DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) gene. This protein is unique since it lacks the C-terminal end of dystrophins. In this data article, we describe the subcellular localization, nuclear export signals and the three-dimensional structure modeling of putative Dp40 proteins using bioinformatics tools. The Dp40 wild type protein was predicted as a cytoplasmic protein while the Dp40n4 was predicted to be nuclear. Changes L93P and L170P are involved in the nuclear localization of Dp40n4 protein. A close analysis of Dp40 protein scored that amino acids (93)LEQEHNNLV(101) and (168)LLLHDSIQI(176) could function as NES sequences and the scores are lost in Dp40n4. In addition, the changes L93/170P modify the tertiary structure of putative Dp40 mutants. The analysis showed that changes of residues 93 and 170 from leucine to proline allow the nuclear localization of Dp40 proteins. The data described here are related to the research article entitled "EF-hand domains are involved in the differential cellular distribution of dystrophin Dp40" (J. Aragón et al. Neurosci. Lett. 600 (2015) 115-120) [1].
RESUMO
Os astrocitomas correspondem á grande maioria dos gliomas, e são classificados segundo a organização mundial de saúde ( OMS) em quatro subgrupos: astrocitoma policítico ( grau I), astrocitoma de baixo grau (grau II), astrocitoma anaplástico ( grau III) e glioblastoma multiforme ( grau IV)...
Astrocytomas account of the large majority of gliomas, and are classified according to World Health Organization ( WHO) into four groups: pilocytic astrocytoma ( grade I), low-grade astrocytoma (grade II), anaplastic astrocytoma ( grade III) and glioblastoma multiforme ( grade IV)...
