SCRIB, also known as Scribble, SCRIBL, or Scribbled homolog (Drosophila), is a scaffold

epithelial cells.[7][8] There is also strong evidence that SCRIB may play a role in cancer progression because of its strong homology to the Drosophila protein.[7]

Function

In

homolog is a scaffold protein linked to cellular differentiation centered on the regulation of epithelial as well as neuronal morphogenesis. Deficiency in SCRIB impairs many aspects of cell polarity and cell movement. SCRIB is also likely involved in establishing apical-basal polarity as well as progression from the G1 phase to S phase in the cell cycle as a result of its relationship with cell proliferation and exocytosis.[8]

The transcribed protein products of the SCRIB gene along with

epithelial cells.[9] The precise mechanism by which these proteins function together is currently unknown, but they have been implicated in several signaling pathways, vesicle trafficking, and in the myosin II-actin cytoskeleton.[7] The Scribble complex has been shown to promote basolateral membrane identity by antagonizing both the Par complex and the Crumbs complex, which promote apical membrane identity.[9] These genes have also been identified as tumor suppressors in Drosophila melanogaster. Since these genes are highly conserved in humans, there is evidence that they play a role in cancer progression.[7]

Structure

The human homolog is a LAP protein, it contains 16 leucine-rich repeats and four PDZ domains.[10] SCRIB belongs to a protein complex containing betaPIX, an exchange factor for Rac/Cdc42, and GIT1, a GTPase activating protein for ARF6 implicated in receptor recycling and exocytosis.[11]

Subcellular and tissue distribution

SCRIB is found in the cell membrane most often as a

epithelial cells.[13]

Clinical significance

The

ubiquitination by a complex of E6 and UBE3A and E6 induces degradation of SCRIB.[14]

Role as a tumor suppressor

As mentioned above, SCRIB has been identified as a tumor suppressor along with

MAP Kinase pathway by SCRIB.[16]

Role in epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)

Due to its role in

epithelial cells to become migratory and allowing these cells to adapt to as well as colonize new environments. In cancerous epithelial tissues, SCRIB is found primarily in the cytosol as opposed to its usual location in the membrane, thus further implicating a role in tumor progression and EMT for SCRIB.[17]

Knockdown mutants have resulted in the loss of adhesion between Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells. This loss of adhesion was correlated with an acquired

epithelial mesenchymal transition mediators was also observed in small lung adenocarcinoma cells that were depleted of SCRIB.[17]
