  • The Involvement of Ubiquitination Machinery in Cell Cycle Regulation and Cancer Progression
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Involvement of Ubiquitination Machinery in Cell Cycle Regulation and Cancer Progression Tingting Zou and Zhenghong Lin * School of Life Sciences, Chongqing University, Chongqing 401331, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The cell cycle is a collection of events by which cellular components such as genetic materials and cytoplasmic components are accurately divided into two daughter cells. The cell cycle transition is primarily driven by the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which activities are regulated by the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of key regulators such as cyclins, CDK inhibitors (CKIs), other kinases and phosphatases. Thus, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the cell cycle progression via recognition, interaction, and ubiquitination or deubiquitination of key proteins. The illegitimate degradation of tumor suppressor or abnormally high accumulation of oncoproteins often results in deregulation of cell proliferation, genomic instability, and cancer occurrence. In this review, we demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the regulation of UPS machinery of the cell cycle. A profound understanding of the ubiquitination machinery will provide new insights into the regulation of the cell cycle transition, cancer treatment, and the development of anti-cancer drugs.

  • PTEN-L Is a Novel Protein Phosphatase for Ubiquitin Dephosphorylation to Inhibit PINK1–Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy

Yap1 and Han-Ming Shen1,9 Mitophagy is an important type of selective autophagy for specific elimination of damaged mitochondria. PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1 (PINK1)-catalyzed phosphorylation of ubiquitin (Ub) plays a critical role in the onset of PINK1–Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-long (PTEN-L) is a newly identified isoform of PTEN, with addition of 173 amino acids to its N-terminus. Here we report that PTEN-L is a novel negative regulator of mitophagy via its protein phosphatase activity against phosphorylated ubiquitin. We found that PTEN-L localizes at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and overexpression of PTEN-L inhibits, whereas deletion of PTEN-L promotes, mitophagy induced by various mitochondria-damaging agents. Mechanistically, PTEN-L is capable of effectively preventing Parkin mitochondrial translocation, reducing Parkin phosphorylation, maintaining its closed inactive conformation, and inhibiting its E3 ligase activity. More importantly, PTEN-L reduces the level of phosphorylated ubiquitin (pSer65-Ub) in vivo, and in vitro phosphatase assay confirms that PTEN-L dephosphorylates pSer65-Ub via its protein phosphatase activity, independently of its lipid phosphatase function.

  • A Protein Phosphatase 2Cα–Ca
    1914 • The Journal of Neuroscience, February 23, 2005 • 25(8):1914–1923 Cellular/Molecular A Protein Phosphatase 2c␣–Ca2ϩ Channel Complex for Dephosphorylation of Neuronal Ca2ϩ Channels Phosphorylated by Protein Kinase C Dongjun Li, Fushun Wang, Meizan Lai, Yuan Chen, and Ji-fang Zhang Department of Physiology, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107 Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are primary means for rapid regulation of a variety of neuronal functions, such as membrane excitability, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. Voltage-gated Ca 2ϩ channels are targets for phosphorylation by a variety of second messengers through activation of different types of protein kinases (PKs). Protein phosphatases (PPs), like PKs, are equally important in regulating Ca 2ϩ channels in neurons. However, much less is understood about whether and how a particular type of PP contributes to regulating neuronal Ca 2ϩ channel activities. This is primarily because of the lack of specific inhibitors/activators for different types of PPs, particularly the PP2c family. The functional roles of PP2c and its substrates in the brain remain virtually unknown. During our yeast two-hybrid screening, PP2c␣ was pulled out by both N- and P/Q-type Ca 2ϩ channel C termini. This raised the possibility that PP2c␣ might be associated with voltage-gated Ca 2ϩ channels for regulation of the Ca 2ϩ channel activity. Biochemical studies show ϩ that PP2c␣ binds directly to neuronal Ca 2 channels forming a functional protein complex in vivo. PP2c␣, unlike PP1, PP2a and PP2b, is more effective in dephosphorylation of neuronal Ca 2ϩ channels after their phosphorylation by PKC. In hippocampal neurons, disruption of the PP2c␣–Ca 2ϩ channel interaction significantly enhances the response of Ca 2ϩ channels to modulation by PKC.

  • Faqs for DNA End Modification: Dephosphorylation
    FAQs for DNA End Modification: Dephosphorylation 1. Does the DNA need to be purified after a restriction digest and prior to the dephosphorylation step? If the enzymes used in the restriction digest are heat inactivatable, then a purification step is not needed. If the enzymes used are not heat-inactivatable, then a clean-up step between the restriction digest and the dephosphorylation step is recommended. 2. Does the DNA need to be purified after the dephosphorylation step and prior to the ligation step? If you use rSAP or Antarctic Phosphatase, which are heat-inactivatable, then a clean- up step is not necessary. If the alkaline phosphatase used is CIP, which is not heat- inactivatable, then a clean-up step is necessary. 3. Which alkaline phosphatase, CIP, Antarctic or rSAP, works best? rSAP (NEB #M0371) is a superior choice because it combines the advantages of both CIP (NEB #M0290) and Antarctic Phosphatase (NEB #M0289). rSAP has a very high specific activity comparable to CIP, but CIP cannot be completely heat-inactivated. rSAP is heat-inactivated in 5 minutes, as is Antarctic Phosphatase, but rSAP is preferred over Antarctic Phosphatase because it does not require added zinc or any other co-factors. As a result, rSAP can be added directly to restriction enzyme digests. Additionally, after heat-inactivation of rSAP, it is not necessary to purify vector DNA prior to the ligation reaction. 4. Are the alkaline phosphatases active in NEBuffers? rSAP: rSAP is active in all restriction enzyme NEBuffers 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and CutSmart™ Buffer, and can be added directly to digested DNA.

  • AMP-Activated Protein Kinase: the Current Landscape for Drug Development
    REVIEWS AMP-activated protein kinase: the current landscape for drug development Gregory R. Steinberg 1* and David Carling2 Abstract | Since the discovery of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as a central regulator of energy homeostasis, many exciting insights into its structure, regulation and physiological roles have been revealed. While exercise, caloric restriction, metformin and many natural products increase AMPK activity and exert a multitude of health benefits, developing direct activators of AMPK to elicit beneficial effects has been challenging. However, in recent years, direct AMPK activators have been identified and tested in preclinical models, and a small number have entered clinical trials. Despite these advances, which disease(s) represent the best indications for therapeutic AMPK activation and the long-term safety of such approaches remain to be established.

ABSTRACT APC/C-mediated proteolysis of cyclin B and securin promotes entry into anaphase, inactivating CDK1 and permitting chromosome segregation, respectively. Reduction of CDK1 activity relieves inhibition of the CDK1-opposing phosphatases PP1 and PP2A-B55 leading to dephosphorylation of substrates crucial for mitotic exit. Meanwhile, continued APC/C activity is required to target various proteins, including Aurora and Polo kinases, for degradation. Together, these activities orchestrate a complex series of events during mitotic exit. However, the relative importance of regulated proteolysis and dephosphorylation in dictating the order and timing of these events remains unclear. Using high temporal-resolution mass spectrometry, we compare the relative extent of proteolysis and protein dephosphorylation.

  • Fcp1 Phosphatase Controls Greatwall Kinase to Promote PP2A-B55
    SHORT REPORT Fcp1 phosphatase controls Greatwall kinase to promote PP2A-B55 activation and mitotic progression Rosa Della Monica1,2†, Roberta Visconti3†, Nando Cervone1,2, Angela Flavia Serpico1,2, Domenico Grieco1,2* 1CEINGE Biotecnologie Avanzate, Naples, Italy; 2Dipartimento di Medicina molecolare e Biotecnologie mediche, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy; 3Istituto per l’endocrinologia e l’oncologia "Gaetano Salvatore", Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Naples, Italy Abstract During cell division, progression through mitosis is driven by a protein phosphorylation wave. This wave namely depends on an activation-inactivation cycle of cyclin B-dependent kinase (Cdk) 1 while activities of major protein phosphatases, like PP1 and PP2A, appear directly or indirectly repressed by Cdk1. However, how Cdk1 inactivation is coordinated with reactivation of major phosphatases at mitosis exit still lacks substantial knowledge. We show here that activation of PP2A-B55, a major mitosis exit phosphatase, required the phosphatase Fcp1 downstream Cdk1 inactivation in human cells. During mitosis exit, Fcp1 bound Greatwall (Gwl), a Cdk1-stimulated kinase that phosphorylates Ensa/ARPP19 and converts these proteins into potent PP2A-B55 inhibitors during mitosis onset, and dephosphorylated it at Cdk1 phosphorylation sites. Fcp1- catalyzed dephosphorylation drastically reduced Gwl kinase activity towards Ensa/ARPP19 promoting PP2A-B55 activation. Thus, Fcp1 coordinates Cdk1 and Gwl inactivation to derepress PP2A-B55, generating a dephosphorylation switch that drives mitosis progression.

Dephosphorylated casein coagulated more slowly than native casein in the calcium caseinate system containing 20 mm calcium. The yield of coagulated protein was the same for both caseins. Calcium content of the precipitate from dephosphorylated casein was less than one fourth of that from native casein. Dephosphorylated casein gave a much softer gel than native casein when com- pared in the sol system prepared by Grindrod et al. General proteolysis of casein with chymo sin at pH 6.8 and with pepsin at pH 1.8 was accelerated and that with trypsin at pH 8.2 was retarded by dephosphorylation of casein. Effect of enzymatic dephosphorylation of dephosphorylated a,,-casein form micelles in bovine casein on its properties has been the presence of ƒÈ-casein and Cal+. They ob- studied by several investigators.'-" The served that the micelles formed from de authors" have reported about the effect of phosphorylated a„-casein are larger in size enzymatic dephosphorylation on the interac and fewer in number than those from intact tion of calcium ions with whole and a,,- as,-casein. Yoshikawa et al." reported that the caseins. The binding of calcium ions to the calcium-dependent precipitation of ƒÀ-casein is phosphate groups of a„-casein did not seem completely lost when the phosphate groups essential for precipitation.
