  • 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.

Abstract: Hepatic steatosis is a consequence of distorted lipid storage and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to explore the role of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in the development of hepatic steatosis and its interplay with the deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB) cylindromatosis (CYLD). CSN occurs as CSNCSN7A and CSNCSN7B variants regulating the ubiquitin proteasome system. It is a deneddylating complex and associates with other DUBs. CYLD cleaves Lys63-ubiquitin chains, regulating a signal cascade that mitigates hepatic steatosis. CSN subunits CSN1 and CSN7B, as well as CYLD, were downregulated with specific siRNA in HepG2 cells and human primary hepatocytes. The same cells were transfected Citation: Huang, X.; Dubiel, D.; with Flag-CSN7A or Flag-CSN7B for pulldowns. Hepatic steatosis in cell culture was induced Dubiel, W.

  • Host Cell Factors Necessary for Influenza a Infection: Meta-Analysis of Genome Wide Studies
    Host Cell Factors Necessary for Influenza A Infection: Meta-Analysis of Genome Wide Studies Juliana S. Capitanio and Richard W. Wozniak Department of Cell Biology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta Abstract: The Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza virus infection occurs yearly in all countries of the world. It usually kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people and causes severe illness in millions more. Over the last century alone we have seen 3 global influenza pandemics. The great human and financial cost of this disease has made it the second most studied virus today, behind HIV. Recently, several genome-wide RNA interference studies have focused on identifying host molecules that participate in Influen- za infection. We used nine of these studies for this meta-analysis. Even though the overlap among genes identified in multiple screens was small, network analysis indicates that similar protein complexes and biological functions of the host were present. As a result, several host gene complexes important for the Influenza virus life cycle were identified. The biological function and the relevance of each identified protein complex in the Influenza virus life cycle is further detailed in this paper. Background and PA bound to the viral genome via nucleoprotein (NP). The viral core is enveloped by a lipid membrane derived from Influenza virus the host cell. The viral protein M1 underlies the membrane and anchors NEP/NS2. Hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase Viruses are the simplest life form on earth. They parasite host (NA), and M2 proteins are inserted into the envelope, facing organisms and subvert the host cellular machinery for differ- the viral exterior.
