These proteins undergo three 23 coordinated COOH-terminal events: isoprenylation of the cysteine, proteolytic removal of aaX, 24 and COOH-terminal methylation. Here, we investigated the coupling of these modifications in 25 the context of the yeast Ydj1p chaperone. We provide genetic, biochemical, and biophysical 26 evidence that the Ydj1p CaaX motif is isoprenylated but not cleaved and carboxylmethylated. 27 Moreover, we demonstrate that Ydj1p-dependent thermotolerance and Ydj1p localization are 28 perturbed when alternative CaaX motifs are transplanted onto Ydj1p. The abnormal 29 phenotypes revert to normal when post-isoprenylation events are genetically interrupted. Our 30 findings indicate that proper Ydj1p function requires an isoprenylatable CaaX motif that is 31 resistant to post-isoprenylation events. These results expand on the complexity of protein 32 isoprenylation and highlight the impact of post-isoprenylation events in regulating the function of 33 Ydj1p and perhaps other CaaX proteins.

    OPEN Oncogene (2017) 36, 3934–3942 www.nature.com/onc SHORT COMMUNICATION Isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase is critical for malignant transformation and tumor maintenance by all RAS isoforms HY Lau1, J Tang1, PJ Casey1 and M Wang1,2 Despite extensive effort, there has been limited progress in the development of direct RAS inhibitors. Targeting isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (ICMT), a unique enzyme of RAS post-translational modification, represents a promising strategy to inhibit RAS function. However, there lacks direct genetic evidence on the role of ICMT in RAS-driven human cancer initiation and maintenance. Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, we have created Icmt loss-of-function isogenic cell lines for both RAS- transformed human mammary epithelial cells (HME1) and human cancer cell lines MiaPaca-2 and MDA-MB-231 containing naturally occurring mutant KRAS. In both in vitro and in vivo tumorigenesis studies, Icmt loss-of-function abolishes the tumor initiation ability of all major isoforms of mutant RAS in HME1 cells, and the tumor maintenance capacity of MiaPaca-2 and MDA-MB-231 cells, establishing the critical role of ICMT in RAS-driven cancers.

  • Genome-Wide Association and Gene Enrichment Analyses of Meat Sensory Traits in a Crossbred Brahman-Angus
    Proceedings of the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, 11. 124 Genome-wide association and gene enrichment analyses of meat tenderness in an Angus-Brahman cattle population J.D. Leal-Gutíerrez1, M.A. Elzo1, D. Johnson1 & R.G. Mateescu1 1 University of Florida, Department of Animal Sciences, 2250 Shealy Dr, 32608 Gainesville, Florida, United States. [email protected] Summary The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with meat tenderness related traits using a whole-genome scan approach followed by a gene enrichment analysis. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) was measured on 673 steaks, and tenderness and connective tissue were assessed by a sensory panel on 496 steaks. Animals belong to the multibreed Angus-Brahman herd from University of Florida and range from 100% Angus to 100% Brahman. All animals were genotyped with the Bovine GGP F250 array. Gene enrichment was identified in two pathways; the first pathway is involved in negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II, and the second pathway groups several cellular component of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Keywords: tenderness, gene enrichment, regulation of transcription, cell growth, cell proliferation Introduction Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for any complex trait, including meat tenderness, is the first most important step in the process of understanding the genetic architecture underlying the phenotype. Given a large enough population and a dense coverage of the genome, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is usually successful in uncovering major genes and QTLs with large and medium effect on these type of traits. Several GWA studies on Bos indicus (Magalhães et al., 2016; Tizioto et al., 2013) or crossbred beef cattle breeds (Bolormaa et al., 2011b; Hulsman Hanna et al., 2014; Lu et al., 2013) were successful at identifying QTL for meat tenderness; and most of them include the traditional candidate genes µ-calpain and calpastatin.

Animal models, particularly the laboratory mouse, have been used to understand the pathogenic mechanisms that underlie PR cell loss and to explore therapies that may prevent, delay, or reverse RD.

    Oncogene (2015) 34, 3296–3304 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase regulates mitochondrial respiration and cancer cell metabolism JT Teh1,5, WL Zhu1,2,5, OR Ilkayeva3,YLi4, J Gooding3, PJ Casey1, SA Summers4, CB Newgard3 and M Wang1,2 Isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (Icmt) catalyzes the last of the three-step posttranslational protein prenylation process for the so-called CaaX proteins, which includes many signaling proteins, such as most small GTPases. Despite extensive studies on Icmt and its regulation of cell functions, the mechanisms of much of the impact of Icmt on cellular functions remain unclear. Our recent studies demonstrated that suppression of Icmt results in induction of autophagy, inhibition of cell growth and inhibition of proliferation in various cancer cell types, prompting this investigation of potential metabolic regulation by Icmt. We report here the findings that Icmt inhibition reduces the function of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in multiple cancer cell lines. In-depth oximetry analysis demonstrated that functions of mitochondrial complex I, II and III are subject to Icmt regulation. Consistently, Icmt inhibition decreased cellular ATP and depleted critical tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites, leading to suppression of cell anabolism and growth, and marked autophagy. Several different approaches demonstrated that the impact of Icmt inhibition on cell proliferation and viability was
