Through physical association with the DNA-binding factor forming multiprotein complexes with the corepressors YY1 (Yang et al., 1997; Dangond et al., 1998; Emiliani SMRT and N-CoR, HDAC3 regulates the transcription et al., 1998). Together, these findings suggested that this of a plethora of genes.

This observation led to the hypothesis that of nontranscriptional functions, to illustrate the wide HDAC3 may have some unique properties and may variety of physiological processes affected by this deacety- not be completely redundant with the other HDACs lase. Furthermore, we discuss the implication of HDAC3 (Yang et al., 1997). This is also suggested by the in cancer, focusing on leukemia. We conclude with some differential localization of HDAC3, which, unlike the thoughts about the potential therapeutic efficacies of predominantly nuclear HDACs 1 and 2, can be found in HDAC3 activity modulation. the nucleus, the cytoplasm and at the plasma membrane Oncogene (2007) 26, 5439–5449; doi:10.1038/sj.onc.1210612 (Takami and Nakayama, 2000; Longworth and Laimins, 2006). Detailed domain analysis has revealed Keywords: HDAC3; SMRT; N-CoR; corepressor complex; that the protein contains both nuclear import and histone deacetylation; repression and cancer export signals, which account for this distinct localiza- tion pattern (Yang et al., 2002). The subcellular distribution of HDAC3 agrees with its nuclear function and opens up a whole new world of potential Introduction cytoplasmic substrates and regulators. Initially cloned based on sequence similarity with the previously identified histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 HDAC3 complexes and 2, HDAC3 was the third mammalian deacetylase to be identified (Yang et al., 1997; Dangond et al., 1998; Composition Emiliani et al., 1998).

Though JDP2 is widely expressed in mammalian tissues, its function in gonads and adrenals (such as regulation of steroidogenesis and adrenal development) is largely unknown. Herein, we find that JDP2 mRNA and proteins are expressed in mouse adrenal gland tissues. Moreover, overexpression of JDP2 in Y1 mouse adrenocortical cancer cells increases the level of melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R) protein. Notably, Mc2r promoter activity is activated by JDP2 in a dose-dependent manner. Next, by mapping the Mc2r promoter, we show that cAMP response elements (between −1320 and −720-bp) are mainly required for Mc2r activation by JDP2 and demonstrate that −830-bp is the major JDP2 binding site by real-time chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis.

  • Mad1 Kinetochore Recruitment by Mps1-Mediated Phosphorylation of Bub1 Signals the Spindle Checkpoint

Checkpoint activation depends on the hierarchical recruitment of checkpoint proteins to generate a catalytic platform at the kinetochore. Although Mad1 kinetochore localization is the key regulatory downstream event in this cascade, its receptor and mechanism of recruitment have not been conclusively identified. Here, we demonstrate that Mad1 kinetochore association in budding yeast is mediated by phosphorylation of a region within the Bub1 checkpoint protein by the conserved protein kinase Mps1. Tethering this region of Bub1 to kinetochores bypasses the checkpoint requirement for Mps1-mediated kinetochore recruitment of upstream checkpoint proteins. The Mad1 interaction with Bub1 and kinetochores can be reconstituted in the presence of Mps1 and Mad2. Together, this work reveals a critical mechanism that determines kinetochore activation of the spindle checkpoint.

Shaw * Queen’s Medical Centre, School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.D.); [email protected] (P.E.S.) Abstract: Genome expansion, whole genome and gene duplication events during metazoan evolution produced an extensive family of ETS genes whose members express transcription factors with a conserved winged helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain. Unravelling their biological roles has proved challenging with functional redundancy manifest in overlapping expression patterns, a common consensus DNA-binding motif and responsiveness to mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling. Key determinants of the cellular repertoire of ETS proteins are their stability and turnover, controlled largely by the actions of selective E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases. Here we discuss the known relationships between ETS proteins and enzymes that determine their ubiquitin status, their integration with other developmental signal transduction pathways and how suppression of ETS protein ubiquitination contributes to the malignant cell phenotype in multiple cancers.

  • Mutation and Expression Analysis in Medulloblastoma Yields Prognostic
    Bien-Willner and Mitra Acta Neuropathologica Communications 2014, 2:74 http://www.actaneurocomms.org/content/2/1/74 RESEARCH Open Access Mutation and expression analysis in medulloblastoma yields prognostic variants and a putative mechanism of disease for i17q tumors Gabriel A Bien-Willner1,2* and Robi D Mitra2 Abstract Current consensus identifies four molecular subtypes of medulloblastoma (MB): WNT, sonic hedgehog (SHH), and groups “3/C” and “4/D”. Group 4 is not well characterized, but harbors the most frequently observed chromosomal abnormality in MB, i17q, whose presence may confer a worse outcome. Recent publications have identified mutations in chromatin remodeling genes that may be overrepresented in this group, suggesting a biological role for these genes in i17q. This work seeks to explore the pathology that underlies i17q in MB. Specifically, we examine the prognostic significance of the previously-identified gene mutations in an independent set of MBs as well as to examine biological relevance of these genes and related pathways by gene expression profiling. The previously-implicated p53 signaling pathway is also examined as a putative driver of i17q tumor oncogenesis. The data show gene mutations associated with i17q tumors in previous studies (KMD6A, ZMYM3, MLL3 and GPS2) were correlated with significantly worse outcomes despite not being specific to i17q in this set. Expression of these genes did not appear to underlie the biology of the molecular variants. TP53 expression was significantly reduced in i17q/ group 4 tumors; this could not be accounted for by dosage effects alone. Expression of regulators and mediators of p53 signaling were significantly altered in i17q tumors.

  • 1 Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Is Sufficient for Complete Cdc20
    Spindle assembly checkpoint is sufficient for complete Cdc20 sequestering in mitotic control Bashar Ibrahim Bio System Analysis Group, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, and Jena Centre for Bioinformatics (JCB), 07743 Jena, Germany Email: [email protected] Abstract The spindle checkpoint assembly (SAC) ensures genome fidelity by temporarily delaying anaphase onset, until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. The SAC delays mitotic progression by preventing activation of the ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) or cyclosome; whose activation by Cdc20 is required for sister-chromatid separation marking the transition into anaphase. The mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which contains Cdc20 as a subunit, binds stably to the APC/C. Compelling evidence by Izawa and Pines (Nature 2014; 10.1038/nature13911) indicates that the MCC can inhibit a second Cdc20 that has already bound and activated the APC/C. Whether or not MCC per se is sufficient to fully sequester Cdc20 and inhibit APC/C remains unclear. Here, a dynamic model for SAC regulation in which the MCC binds a second Cdc20 was constructed. This model is compared to the MCC, and the MCC-and-BubR1 (dual inhibition of APC) core model variants and subsequently validated with experimental data from the literature. By using ordinary nonlinear differential equations and spatial simulations, it is shown that the SAC works sufficiently to fully sequester Cdc20 and completely inhibit APC/C activity. This study highlights the principle that a systems biology approach is vital for molecular biology and could also be used for creating hypotheses to design future experiments. Keywords: Mathematical biology, Spindle assembly checkpoint; anaphase promoting complex, MCC, Cdc20, systems biology 1 Introduction Faithful DNA segregation, prior to cell division at mitosis, is vital for maintaining genomic integrity.
