Approximately 100 DUBs are encoded in the human genome DUBs regulate a variety of intracellular processes, including (Nijman et al., 2005b). Depending on the organization of the protein turnover, signalling pathways and the DNA damage catalytic domain, DUBs can be classified into distinct families response. They have also been linked to a number of human (Table 1), the vast majority of which are cysteine proteases. These diseases, such as cancer, and inflammatory and neurodegenerative include ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), ubiquitin C-terminal – disorders. Although we are beginning to better appreciate the role of hydrolases (UCHs), ovarian tumour proteases (OTUs), Machado DUBs in basic cell biology and their importance for human health, Joseph disease proteases (MJDs) and the recently discovered MIU- there are still many unknowns. Central among these is the containing novel DUB family (MINDY) proteases (Abdul Rehman conundrum of how the small number of ∼100 DUBs encoded in et al., 2016). Additionally, there is also a metalloproteinase family the human genome is capable of regulating the thousands of of DUBs, the JAB1/MPN/Mov34 (JAMM) domain proteases ubiquitin modification sites detected in human cells.

We will Ubiquitylation discuss these concepts with an emphasis on how functional diversification of DUBs can be achieved. Introduction Post-translational attachment of ubiquitin, or ubiquitylation, Regulation of DUB abundance controls most intracellular processes, including protein turnover, Conceptually, the simplest mechanism for modulating the activity, intracellular signalling, endocytosis and the DNA damage and hence biological function, of a given protein is by regulating response (Clague and Urbe, 2017; Heideker and Wertz, 2015; its intracellular concentration. This also applies to DUBs, whose Kee and Huang, 2015). Ubiquitin is most often conjugated to abundance can be controlled both via transcription or translation lysine residues of target proteins in a reaction catalysed by an and via degradation. For example, levels of several DUBs are enzymatic cascade that involves the E1 activating, E2 conjugating regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner and are directly related and E3 ligating enzymes. Importantly, ubiquitin can also be ligated to their function. USP37 is one such DUB, and its transcription to any of the seven internal lysine residues or the N-terminal is controlled by the E2F transcription factors, resulting in high methionine of another ubiquitin, forming chains whose linkage USP37 levels during the G1/S transition (Huang et al., 2011). type defines the outcome of protein ubiquitylation.

    Deciphering the Functions of Ets2, Pten and p53 in Stromal Fibroblasts in Multiple Breast Cancer Models DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Julie Wallace Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Michael C. Ostrowski, PhD, Advisor Gustavo Leone, PhD Denis Guttridge, PhD Dawn Chandler, PhD Copyright by Julie Wallace 2013 Abstract Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women, and is also the second leading cause of cancer death in women. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of a million new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States this year, and approximately 40,000 of these women will die from breast cancer. Although death rates have been on the decline for the past decade, there is still much we need to learn about this disease to improve prevention, detection and treatment strategies. The majority of early studies have focused on the malignant tumor cells themselves, and much has been learned concerning mutations, amplifications and other genetic and epigenetic alterations of these cells. However more recent work has acknowledged the strong influence of tumor stroma on the initiation, progression and recurrence of cancer. Under normal conditions this stroma has been shown to have protective effects against tumorigenesis, however the transformation of tumor cells manipulates this surrounding environment to actually promote malignancy. Fibroblasts in particular make up a significant portion of this stroma, and have been shown to impact various aspects of tumor cell biology.

  • A Drosophila Ortholog of the Human Cylindromatosis Tumor Suppressor
    RESEARCH ARTICLE 2605 Development 134, 2605-2614 (2007) doi:10.1242/dev.02859 A Drosophila ortholog of the human cylindromatosis tumor suppressor gene regulates triglyceride content and antibacterial defense Theodore Tsichritzis1, Peer C. Gaentzsch3, Stylianos Kosmidis2, Anthony E. Brown3, Efthimios M. Skoulakis2, Petros Ligoxygakis3,* and George Mosialos1,4,* The cylindromatosis (CYLD) gene is mutated in human tumors of skin appendages. It encodes a deubiquitylating enzyme (CYLD) that is a negative regulator of the NF-␬B and JNK signaling pathways, in vitro. However, the tissue-specific function and regulation of CYLD in vivo are poorly understood. We established a genetically tractable animal model to initiate a systematic investigation of these issues by characterizing an ortholog of CYLD in Drosophila. Drosophila CYLD is broadly expressed during development and, in adult animals, is localized in the fat body, ovaries, testes, digestive tract and specific areas of the nervous system. We demonstrate that the protein product of Drosophila CYLD (CYLD), like its mammalian counterpart, is a deubiquitylating enzyme. Impairment of CYLD expression is associated with altered fat body morphology in adult flies, increased triglyceride levels and increased survival under starvation conditions. Furthermore, flies with compromised CYLD expression exhibited reduced resistance to bacterial infections. All mutant phenotypes described were reversible upon conditional expression of CYLD transgenes. Our results implicate CYLD in a broad range of functions associated with fat homeostasis and host defence in Drosophila.

  • The Basal Bodies of Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Susan K
    Dutcher and O’Toole Cilia (2016) 5:18 DOI 10.1186/s13630-016-0039-z Cilia REVIEW Open Access The basal bodies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Susan K. Dutcher1* and Eileen T. O’Toole2 Abstract The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a biflagellated cell that can swim or glide. C. reinhardtii cells are amenable to genetic, biochemical, proteomic, and microscopic analysis of its basal bodies. The basal bodies contain triplet microtubules and a well-ordered transition zone. Both the mother and daughter basal bodies assemble flagella. Many of the proteins found in other basal body-containing organisms are present in the Chlamydomonas genome, and mutants in these genes affect the assembly of basal bodies. Electron microscopic analysis shows that basal body duplication is site-specific and this may be important for the proper duplication and spatial organization of these organelles. Chlamydomonas is an excellent model for the study of basal bodies as well as the transition zone. Keywords: Site-specific basal body duplication, Cartwheel, Transition zone, Centrin fibers Phylogeny and conservation of proteins Centrin, SPD2/CEP192, Asterless/CEP152; CEP70, The green lineage or Viridiplantae consists of the green delta-tubulin, and epsilon-tubulin.

Dorsch1 & Maike Schuldt1 & Dora Knežević1 & Marit Wiersma1 & Diederik W. D. Kuster1 & Jolanda van der Velden1 & Bianca J. J. M. Brundel1 Received: 30 July 2018 /Accepted: 6 August 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins are the most important causes of inherited cardiomyopathies, which are a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although genetic screening procedures for early disease detection have been improved significantly, treatment to prevent or delay mutation-induced cardiac disease onset is lacking. Recent findings indicate that loss of protein quality control (PQC) is a central factor in the disease pathology leading to derailment of cellular protein homeostasis. Loss of PQC includes impairment of heat shock proteins, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and autophagy. This may result in accumulation of misfolded and aggregation-prone mutant proteins, loss of sarcomeric and cytoskeletal proteins, and, ultimately, loss of cardiac function. PQC derailment can be a direct effect of the mutation-induced activation, a compensa- tory mechanism due to mutation-induced cellular dysfunction or a consequence of the simultaneous occurrence of the mutation and a secondary hit. In this review, we discuss recent mechanistic findings on the role of proteostasis derailment in inherited cardiomyopathies, with special focus on sarcomeric gene mutations and possible therapeutic applications.

  • PSMD14 Is Over-Expressed in Human Endometrial Cancer
    Over-expression of proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase 14 in human endometrial cancer. Shahan Mamoor, MS1 [email protected] East Islip, NY USA Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem1-4. We mined published microarray data5,6 to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal and hyperplastic endometrium to endometrial tumors from humans. We identified proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase 14, encoded by PSMD14, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. PSMD14 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, in human endometrial cancer, primary tumor expression of PSMD14 was correlated with overall survival in white patients with low mutational burden. PSMD14 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer. Keywords: endometrial cancer, gynecologic cancers, endometrium, PSMD14, proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase 14, systems biology of endometrial cancer, targeted therapeutics in endometrial cancer. 1 Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the developed world1. Over the last three decades, the incidence of endometrial cancer has increased 21%4 and the death rate has increased 100%3. We harnessed the power of independently published microarray datasets5,6 to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems-level genes most differentially expressed in endometrial tumors. We report here the differential and increased expression of the proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPase 14 (PSMD14) in human endometrial cancer. Methods We utilized datasets GSE636785 and GSE1061916 for this global differential gene expression analysis of human endometrial cancer in conjunction with GEO2R.

This secreted form leads to increased protein aggregation in transgenic worms of Hsp70 (secHsp70) suppresses Aβ42 neurotoxicity in adult eyes, expressing intracellular Aβ42 (21). A recent study in a transgenic reduces cell death, protects the structural integrity of adult neurons, mouse model of AD overexpressing the Amyloid precursor pro- alleviates locomotor dysfunction, and extends lifespan.

A complex proteostasis network (PN) acts at each of these mational maintenance, and degradation. A complex and steps to maintain a balanced proteome linked by molecular adaptive proteostasis network coordinates these processes chaperones of different classes as central players. These factors with molecular chaperones of different classes and their ensure de novo folding in a crowded cellular environment and regulators functioning as major players. This network maintain proteins in a soluble, nonaggregated state. Moreover, in conditions that disfavor folding or solubility, certain chaper- serves to ensure that cells have the proteins they need ones act to target misfolded proteins for degradation or spatial while minimizing misfolding or aggregation events that sequestration, thus protecting the rest of the proteome from ab- are hallmarks of age-associated proteinopathies, includ- errant interactions (Balchin et al., 2016; Sontag et al., 2017). Here, we describe the major pathways of cellular pro- ing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and teostasis and outline the challenges they face during aging and Parkinson’s diseases. It is now clear that the capacity of disease.
