    Authors show that a novel interaction between TTP and the CCR4-NOT subunit, CNOT9, is required for recruitment of the deadenylase complex. In addition to CNOT1, CNOT9 is now included in the identified CCR4-NOT subunits shown to interact with TTP.

    Data show that, upon binding to its substrate, alpha-TTP acquires tendency to aggregation into thermodynamically stable high molecular weight oligomers with spheroidal particle formed by 24 protein monomers. Oligomerization is triggered by refolding of the N-terminus. These same oligomers are efficiently transported through an endothelial barrier and not through an epithelial one.

    Current results show that alphaTTP plays a role in endometrial carcinoma. Possibly endometrial cancer cells attempt to protect themselves from increasing oxidative stress by up-regulating alphaTTP.

    Alpha tocopherol transfer protein (αTTP) is expressed in endometrial carcinoma and is correlated with FIGO stage and 5-year survival.

    The crystal structure of the alpha-TTP-phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) complex revealed that the familial vitamin E deficiency-related arginine residues interacted with phosphate groups of the PIPs and that the PIPs binding caused the lid of the alpha-tocopherol-binding pocket to open.

    Impaired α-TTP-PIPs interaction underlies familial vitamin E deficiency.
