  • A Genetic Screen Identifies the Triple T Complex Required for DNA Damage Signaling and ATM and ATR Stability
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 27, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press A genetic screen identifies the Triple T complex required for DNA damage signaling and ATM and ATR stability Kristen E. Hurov, Cecilia Cotta-Ramusino, and Stephen J. Elledge1 Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Division of Genetics, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA In response to DNA damage, cells activate a complex signal transduction network called the DNA damage response (DDR). To enhance our current understanding of the DDR network, we performed a genome-wide RNAi screen to identify genes required for resistance to ionizing radiation (IR). Along with a number of known DDR genes, we discovered a large set of novel genes whose depletion leads to cellular sensitivity to IR. Here we describe TTI1 (Tel two-interacting protein 1) and TTI2 as highly conserved regulators of the DDR in mammals. TTI1 and TTI2 protect cells from spontaneous DNA damage, and are required for the establishment of the intra-S and G2/M checkpoints. TTI1 and TTI2 exist in multiple complexes, including a 2-MDa complex with TEL2 (telomere maintenance 2), called the Triple T complex, and phosphoinositide-3-kinase-related protein kinases (PIKKs) such as ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM). The components of the TTT complex are mutually dependent on each other, and act as critical regulators of PIKK abundance and checkpoint signaling. [Keywords: TTI1; TEL2; TTI2; PIKK; TTT complex; IR sensitivity] Supplemental material is available at http://www.genesdev.org. Received April 5, 2010; revised version accepted July 22, 2010.

Abstract: Deubiquitinating enzymes play key roles in the precise modulation of Aurora B—an essential cell cycle regulator. The expression of Aurora B increases before the onset of mitosis and decreases during mitotic exit; an imbalance in these levels has a severe impact on the fate of the cell cycle. Dysregulation of Aurora B can lead to aberrant chromosomal segregation and accumulation of errors during mitosis, eventually resulting in cytokinesis failure. Thus, it is essential to identify the precise regulatory mechanisms that modulate Aurora B levels during the cell division cycle. Using a deubiquitinase knockout strategy, we identified USP48 as an important candidate that can regulate Aurora B protein levels during the normal cell cycle. Here, we report that USP48 interacts with and Citation: Antao, A.M.; Kaushal, K.; stabilizes the Aurora B protein.

Also, aging is irreversible and leads ultimately to death in biological organisms. Methods: We intend to characterize aging at the gene expression level using publicly available human gene expression arrays obtained from gene expression omnibus (GEO) and ArrayExpress. Candidate genes were identified by rigorous screening using filtered data sets, i.e., GSE11882, GSE47881, and GSE32719. Using Aroma and Limma packages, we selected the top 200 genes showing up and down regulation (p < 0.05 and fold change >2.5) out of which 185 were chosen for further comparative analysis. Results: This investigation enabled identification of candidate genes involved in aging that are associated with several signaling cascades demonstrating strong correlation with ATP binding and protease functions.

  • Impact of Low-Frequency Coding Variants on Human Facial Shape
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Impact of low‑frequency coding variants on human facial shape Dongjing Liu1, Nora Alhazmi2,3, Harold Matthews4,5, Myoung Keun Lee6, Jiarui Li7, Jacqueline T. Hecht8, George L. Wehby9, Lina M. Moreno10, Carrie L. Heike11, Jasmien Roosenboom6, Eleanor Feingold1,12, Mary L. Marazita1,6, Peter Claes4,7, Eric C. Liao13, Seth M. Weinberg1,6* & John R. Shafer1,6* The contribution of low‑frequency variants to the genetic architecture of normal‑range facial traits is unknown. We studied the infuence of low‑frequency coding variants (MAF < 1%) in 8091 genes on multi‑dimensional facial shape phenotypes in a European cohort of 2329 healthy individuals. Using three‑dimensional images, we partitioned the full face into 31 hierarchically arranged segments to model facial morphology at multiple levels, and generated multi‑dimensional phenotypes representing the shape variation within each segment. We used MultiSKAT, a multivariate kernel regression approach to scan the exome for face‑associated low‑frequency variants in a gene‑based manner. After accounting for multiple tests, seven genes (AR, CARS2, FTSJ1, HFE, LTB4R, TELO2, NECTIN1) were signifcantly associated with shape variation of the cheek, chin, nose and mouth areas. These genes displayed a wide range of phenotypic efects, with some impacting the full face and others afecting localized regions. The missense variant rs142863092 in NECTIN1 had a signifcant efect on chin morphology and was predicted bioinformatically to have a deleterious efect on protein function. Notably, NECTIN1 is an established craniofacial gene that underlies a human syndrome that includes a mandibular phenotype. We further showed that nectin1a mutations can afect zebrafsh craniofacial development, with the size and shape of the mandibular cartilage altered in mutant animals.

Here we identified that the ubiquitin E3 ligase complex SCFFBXL2 mediates Aurora B ubiquitination and degradation within the midbody, which is sufficient to induce mitotic arrest and apoptosis. Three molecular acceptor sites (K102,K103 and K207) within Aurora B protein were identified as important sites for its ubiquitination. A triple Lys mutant of Aurora B (K102/103/207R) exhibited optimal resistance to SCFFBXL2-directed polyubiquitination, and overexpression of this variant resulted in a significant delay in anaphase onset, resulting in apoptosis. A unique small molecule F-box/LRR-repeat protein 2 (FBXL2) activator, BC-1258, stabilized and increased levels of FBXL2 protein that promoted Aurora B degradation, resulting in tetraploidy, mitotic arrest and apoptosis of tumorigenic cells, and profoundly inhibiting tumor formation in athymic nude mice. These findings uncover a new proteolytic mechanism targeting a key regulator of cell replication that may serve as a basis for chemotherapeutic intervention in neoplasia.
