MVP was found to enhance the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein [[bcl-2]] in senescent human fibroblasts <ref> Ryu, S. J., An, H. J., Oh, Y. S., Choi, H. R., Ha, M. K., and Park, S. C. (2008) On the role of major vault protein in the resistance of senescent human diploid fibroblasts to apoptosis. Cell Death Differ. doi: 10.1038/cdd.2008.96.</ref>. By binding to [[COP1]], which is an [[E3 ligase]], MVP forms an interaction which is essential for the degradation of [[c-June]]. This degradation is important in senescent human fibroblasts regarding the modulation of the anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2, and it is reduced when MVP is subjected to UV light which causes it to be tyrosine-phosphorylated.

* MVP, together with the vRNA of vaults, were found to bind to [[Estrogen]] receptors by interacting through several proto-NLS found on the receptors and which are in charge of the hormone-independent nuclear import [149].

MVP is highly conserved in evolution and can create the entire outer shell of the vault barrel structure, which is comprised of two identical halves. The outer shell is a closed, smooth surface without any large gaps or windows. When considering the individual MVP within a vault particle, their <scene name='78/783129/N-terminus/1'>N-terminus ( residues 113–620)</scene> forms the waist of the particle while their <scene name='78/783129/C-terminus/2'>C-terminus (residues 621-893)</scene> builds the cap and the cap/barrel junction[26]. This leads to the current belief that the N-terminus accounts for the non-covalent interactions between the identical particle halves[9]. In addition, each MVP represents a unique protein that does not share a homology with other proteins, yet exhibits a high degree of conservation [8,9,20,22,23]- around 90% within mammals [14,16].
