Abstract: Mutations in the Na-K-2Cl co-transporter NKCC2 lead to type I Bartter syndrome, a life- threatening kidney disease. We previously showed that export from the ER constitutes the limiting step in NKCC2 maturation and cell surface expression. Yet, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain obscure. Here, we report the identification of chaperone stress 70 protein (STCH) and the stress-inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), as two novel binding partners of the ER-resident form of NKCC2. STCH knock-down increased total NKCC2 expression whereas Hsp70 knock-down or its inhibition by YM-01 had the opposite effect. Accordingly, overexpressing of STCH and Hsp70 exerted opposite actions on total protein abundance of NKCC2 and its folding mutants.

  • DNA Replication Is Altered in Immunodeficiency
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 1044–1050 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/12 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE DNA replication is altered in Immunodeficiency Centromeric instability Facial anomalies (ICF) cells carrying DNMT3B mutations Erica Lana1,2, Andre´ Me´garbane´3,4,He´le`ne Tourrie`re5, Pierre Sarda6,Ge´rard Lefranc5,7, Mireille Claustres1,2,6 and Albertina De Sario*,1,2 ICF syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by Immunodeficiency, Centromeric instability, and Facial anomalies. In all, 60% of ICF patients have mutations in the DNMT3B (DNA methyltransferase 3B) gene, encoding a de novo DNA methyltransferase. In ICF cells, constitutive heterochromatin is hypomethylated and decondensed, metaphase chromosomes undergo rearrangements (mainly involving juxtacentromeric regions), and more than 700 genes are aberrantly expressed. This work shows that DNA replication is also altered in ICF cells: (i) heterochromatic genes replicate earlier in the S-phase; (ii) global replication fork speed is higher; and (iii) S-phase is shorter. These replication defects may result from chromatin changes that modify DNA accessibility to the replication machinery and/or from changes in the expression level of genes involved in DNA replication. This work highlights the interest of using ICF cells as a model to investigate how DNA methylation regulates DNA replication in humans. European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 1044–1050. doi:10.1038/ejhg.2012.41; published online 29 February 2012 Keywords: ICF syndrome; DNA replication; DNA methylation INTRODUCTION sequences (ie, satellites 2 and 3, subtelomeric sequences, and Alu With the availability of emerging technologies in genomics, a major sequences)8–10 and genes located in constitutive and facultative hetero- challenge has become to understand how epigenetic modifications chromatin (hereafter named C-heterochromatin and F-heterochroma- regulate the genome function.

  • Anti-UBQLN2 Antibody
    Anti-UBQLN2 Antibody Alternative Names: ALS15, CHAP1, DSK2, HRIHFB2157, N4BP4, PLIC2, Ubiquilin-2 Catalogue Number: AB18-10055-50ug Size: 50 µg Background Information Ubiquilin-2 (UBQLN2) is a 624-amino acid multi-domain adaptor protein and a member of the ubiquilin family of proteins that regulate the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), autophagy and the endoplasmic reticulum- associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway. Ubiquilins are characterised by the presence of an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. The central portion is highly variable. UBQLN2 Mediates the proteasomal targeting of misfolded or accumulated proteins for degradation by binding to their polyubiquitin chains, through the ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA) and by interacting with the subunits of the proteasome through the ubiquitin- like domain (ULD). Mutations in UBQLN2 are associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with most ALS-linked mutations localised to the proline-rich repeat (Pxx) region that is unique to ubiquilin-2 and not present in the other members of the ubiquilin protein family. UBQLN2 has also been shown to bind the ATPase domain of the Hsp70-like Stch protein. Mutations in UBQLN2 are also observed in familial ALS (FALS) cases associated with aberrant TDP-43 inclusions. Product Information Antibody Type: Polyclonal Host: Rabbit Isotype: IgG Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Immunogen: Partial length recombinant human UBQLN2 from the N-terminal region Format: 50 µg in 50 µl PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Storage Conditions: 6 months: 4°C. Long-term storage: -20°C. Avoid multiple freeze and thaw cycles. Applications: WB WB 1:200-2000.
