Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer, gastrointestinal disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Megaesophagus
Specific Cancer Types:
Follicular lymphomas; Sarcomas
Comments:
Yes may be an oncoprotein (OP) based on its similarity to other Src family protein-tyrosine kinases. Yes is the cellular homologue of the Yamaguchi sarcoma virus oncoprotein. By isotopic in situ hybridization, Yes1 gene localization is frequently associated with chromosome translocation and pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= +123, p<(0.0003); Brain glioblastomas (%CFC= -61, p<0.008); Brain oligodendrogliomas (%CFC= -58, p<0.031); Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) (%CFC= +45, p<0.043); and Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) (%CFC= +59, p<0.002). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for Yes in diverse human cancers of 569, which is 1.2-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 116 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 1.9-fold of the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis. A Y426F mutation in Yes leads to about a 50% reduction in CSK-mediated inhibition of its phosphotransferase activity.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.07 % in 25126 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -8 % lower and is very similar to the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 4 in 20,409 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 2 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
