Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression.

  • SUMO-1 Regulates the Conformational Dynamics of Thymine-DNA
    Smet-Nocca et al. BMC Biochemistry 2011, 12:4 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2091/12/4 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access SUMO-1 regulates the conformational dynamics of Thymine-DNA Glycosylase regulatory domain and competes with its DNA binding activity Caroline Smet-Nocca1, Jean-Michel Wieruszeski2, Hélène Léger1,3, Sebastian Eilebrecht1,3, Arndt Benecke1,3* Abstract Background: The human thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) plays a dual role in base excision repair of G:U/T mismatches and in transcription. Regulation of TDG activity by SUMO-1 conjugation was shown to act on both functions. Furthermore, TDG can interact with SUMO-1 in a non-covalent manner. Results: Using NMR spectroscopy we have determined distinct conformational changes in TDG upon either covalent sumoylation on lysine 330 or intermolecular SUMO-1 binding through a unique SUMO-binding motif (SBM) localized in the C-terminal region of TDG. The non-covalent SUMO-1 binding induces a conformational change of the TDG amino-terminal regulatory domain (RD). Such conformational dynamics do not exist with covalent SUMO-1 attachment and could potentially play a broader role in the regulation of TDG functions for instance during transcription. Both covalent and non-covalent processes activate TDG G:U repair similarly. Surprisingly, despite a dissociation of the SBM/SUMO-1 complex in presence of a DNA substrate, SUMO-1 preserves its ability to stimulate TDG activity indicating that the non-covalent interactions are not directly involved in the regulation of TDG activity. SUMO-1 instead acts, as demonstrated here, indirectly by competing with the regulatory domain of TDG for DNA binding.

So far, however, simultaneous analysis of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) of a single cell has been challenging. By analyzing SNVs and CNVs simultaneously in bulk and single cells of premalignant tissues and tumors from mouse and human BRCA1-associated breast cancers, we discover an evolution process through which the tumors initiate from cells with SNVs affecting driver genes in the premalignant stage and malignantly progress later via CNVs acquired in chromosome regions with cancer driver genes. These events occur randomly and hit many putative cancer drivers besides p53 to generate unique genetic and pathological features for each tumor. Upon this, we finally identify a tumor metastasis suppressor Plekha5, whose deficiency promotes cancer metastasis to the liver and/or lung. 1 Cancer Centre, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Macau, Macau, SAR, China. 2 Centre for Precision Medicine Research and Training, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Macau, Macau, SAR, China.

  • Variable Clinical Expression in Patients with a Germline MEN1 Disease Gene Mutation: Clues to a Genotype–Phenotype Correlation
    CLINICS 2012;67(S1):49-56 DOI:10.6061/clinics/2012(Sup01)10 REVIEW Variable clinical expression in patients with a germline MEN1 disease gene mutation: clues to a genotype–phenotype correlation Cornelis J. Lips,I Koen M. Dreijerink,I Jo W. Ho¨ ppenerII I University Medical Center Utrecht, Department of Internal Medicine & Endocrinology, Utrecht, The Netherlands. II University Medical Center Utrecht, Department of Metabolic & Endocrine Diseases, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is an inherited endocrine tumor syndrome, predominantly characterized by tumors of the parathyroid glands, gastroenteropancreatic tumors, pituitary adenomas, adrenal adenomas, and neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus, lungs or stomach. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is caused by germline mutations of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 tumor suppressor gene. The initial germline mutation, loss of the wild-type allele, and modifying genetic and possibly epigenetic and environmental events eventually result in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 tumors. Our understanding of the function of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene product, menin, has increased significantly over the years. However, to date, no clear genotype– phenotype correlation has been established. In this review we discuss reports on exceptional clinical presentations of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, which may provide more insight into the pathogenesis of this disorder and offer clues for a possible genotype–phenotype correlation.

  • An Evolutionary Conserved Region (ECR) in the Human Dopamine Receptor D4 Gene Supports Reporter Gene Expression in Primary Cultu
    Paredes et al. BMC Neuroscience 2011, 12:46 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2202/12/46 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access An evolutionary conserved region (ECR) in the human dopamine receptor D4 gene supports reporter gene expression in primary cultures derived from the rat cortex Ursula M Paredes1,2, Vivien J Bubb1, Kate Haddley1, Gabriele A Macho1,3 and John P Quinn1* Abstract Background: Detecting functional variants contributing to diversity of behaviour is crucial for dissecting genetics of complex behaviours. At a molecular level, characterisation of variation in exons has been studied as they are easily identified in the current genome annotation although the functional consequences are less well understood; however, it has been difficult to prioritise regions of non-coding DNA in which genetic variation could also have significant functional consequences. Comparison of multiple vertebrate genomes has allowed the identification of non-coding evolutionary conserved regions (ECRs), in which the degree of conservation can be comparable with exonic regions suggesting functional significance. Results: We identified ECRs at the dopamine receptor D4 gene locus, an important gene for human behaviours. The most conserved non-coding ECR (D4ECR1) supported high reporter gene expression in primary cultures derived from neonate rat frontal cortex. Computer aided analysis of the sequence of the D4ECR1 indicated the potential transcription factors that could modulate its function. D4ECR1 contained multiple consensus sequences for binding the transcription factor Sp1, a factor previously implicated in DRD4 expression. Co-transfection experiments demonstrated that overexpression of Sp1 significantly decreased the activity of the D4ECR1 in vitro. Conclusion: Bioinformatic analysis complemented by functional analysis of the DRD4 gene locus has identified a) a strong enhancer that functions in neurons and b) a transcription factor that may modulate the function of that enhancer.

  • Long Noncoding Rnas in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Regulate
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Long noncoding RNAs in vascular smooth muscle cells regulate vascular calcifcation Received: 21 November 2018 Geon Jeong1,2,3, Duk-Hwa Kwon1,4, Sera Shin1,4, Nakwon Choe1,4, Juhee Ryu1,2,3,4, Accepted: 27 March 2019 Yeong-Hwan Lim1,2,3, Jaetaek Kim1,5, Woo Jin Park1,6, Hyun Kook1,3,4 & Young-Kook Kim 1,2,3 Published: xx xx xxxx Vascular calcifcation is characterized by the accumulation of hydroxyapatite crystals, which is a result of aberrant mineral metabolism. Although many clinical studies have reported its adverse efects on cardiovascular morbidity, the molecular mechanism of vascular calcifcation, especially the involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), is not yet reported. From the transcriptomic analysis, we discovered hundreds of lncRNAs diferentially expressed in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with inorganic phosphate, which mimics vascular calcifcation. We focused on Lrrc75a-as1 and elucidated its transcript structure and confrmed its cytoplasmic localization. Our results showed that calcium deposition was elevated after knockdown of Lrrc75a-as1, while its overexpression inhibited calcium accumulation in A10 cells. In addition, Lrrc75a-as1 attenuated VSMCs calcifcation by decreasing the expression of osteoblast-related factors. These fndings suggest that Lrrc75a-as1 acts as a negative regulator of vascular calcifcation, and may serve as a possible therapeutic target in vascular calcifcation. Vascular calcifcation is caused by an imbalance of mineral metabolism, especially calcium phosphate metabo- lism1. It decreases vessel wall tension and increases vascular stifness, thereby increasing the risk of myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular diseases2. Vascular calcifcation includes several major types including medial arterial calcifcation, intimal atherosclerosis, and arterial calcifcation of chronic kidney diseases3.
