(A). Epigenetic regulation of RASSF1A expression. DNA hypermethylation of the RASSF1A promoter mediated by DNMT1 and DNMT3 complexes associated with different proteins including MUC-1-ZEB1 and DAXX-p53 (left) and viral proteins (right). (B). Schematic of RASSF1A protein structure. RASSF1A contains different domains: C1/DAG (diacylglycerol), ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) domain, RA (Ras association) domain and SARAH (Salvador-Hippo-RASSF) domain. Several residues are phosphorylated (red) by the indicated kinases regulating the degradation of the RASSF1A protein and the mediation of different biological functions by this tumour suppressor.
