Tsokos,† and Thomas R. Malek*,‡ Low-dose IL-2 therapy is a direct approach to boost regulatory T cells (Tregs) and promote immune tolerance in autoimmune patients. However, the mechanisms responsible for selective response of Tregs to low-dose IL-2 is not fully understood. In this study we directly assessed the contribution of CD25 and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in promoting IL-2R signaling in Tregs. IL-2– induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5 (pSTAT5) was proportional to CD25 levels on human CD4+ T cells and YT human NK cell line, directly demonstrating that CD25 promotes IL-2R signaling. Overexpression of the PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) by lentiviral transduction in human Tregs increased the level of IL-2R subunits and promoted tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak3 and STAT5. Interestingly, increased expression of CD25 only partially accounted for this enhanced activation of pSTAT5, indicating that PP2A promotes IL-2R signaling through multiple mechanisms. Consistent with these findings, knockdown of PP2Ac in Downloaded from human Tregs and impaired PP2Ac activity in mouse Tregs significantly reduced IL-2–dependent STAT5 activation. In contrast, overexpression or knockdown of PP2Ac in human T effector cells did not affect IL-2–dependent pSTAT5 activation. Overexpres- sion of PP2Ac in human Tregs also increased the expressions of proteins related to survival, activation, and immunosuppressive function, and upregulated several IL-2–regulated genes. Collectively, these findings suggest that CD25 and PP2A cooperatively enhance the responsiveness of Tregs to IL-2, which provide potential therapeutic targets for low-dose IL-2 therapy.

To enable specific functional predictions, we categorized cellular proteins regulated 17 by HIV according to their patterns of temporal expression. We focussed on proteins depleted 18 with similar kinetics to APOBEC3C, and found the viral accessory protein Vif to be 19 necessary and sufficient for CUL5-dependent proteasomal degradation of all members of the 20 B56 family of regulatory subunits of the key cellular phosphatase PP2A (PPP2R5A-E). 21 Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of HIV-infected cells confirmed Vif-dependent 22 hyperphosphorylation of >200 cellular proteins, particularly substrates of the aurora kinases. 23 The ability of Vif to target PPP2R5 subunits is found in primate and non-primate lentiviral 2 24 lineages, and remodeling of the cellular phosphoproteome is therefore a second ancient and 25 conserved Vif function.

  • Novelty Indicator for Enhanced Prioritization of Predicted Gene Ontology Annotations
    IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS, VOL. X, NO. X, MONTHXXX 20XX 1 Novelty Indicator for Enhanced Prioritization of Predicted Gene Ontology Annotations Davide Chicco, Fernando Palluzzi, and Marco Masseroli Abstract—Biomolecular controlled annotations have become pivotal in computational biology, because they allow scientists to analyze large amounts of biological data to better understand their test results, and to infer new knowledge. Yet, biomolecular annotation databases are incomplete by definition, like our knowledge of biology, and may contain errors and inconsistent information. In this context, machine-learning algorithms able to predict and prioritize new biomolecular annotations are both effective and efficient, especially if compared with the time-consuming trials of biological validation. To limit the possibility that these techniques predict obvious and trivial high-level features, and to help prioritizing their results, we introduce here a new element that can improve the accuracy and relevance of the results of an annotation prediction and prioritization pipeline. We propose a novelty indicator able to state the level of ”newness” (or ”originality”) of the annotations predicted for a specific gene to Gene Ontology terms, and to help prioritizing the most novel and interesting annotations predicted. We performed a thorough biological functional analysis of the prioritized annotations predicted with high accuracy by using this indicator and our previously proposed prediction algorithms.

Here we show the overexpression of micro-RNAs 132 and 212 enhances insulin secretion (IS) in response to glucose and other secretagogues including non-fuel stimuli. We determined that carnitine acyl-carnitine translocase (CACT, Slc25a20) is a direct target of these miRNAs.
