  • The Role of Ubiquitination in NF-Κb Signaling During Virus Infection
    viruses Review The Role of Ubiquitination in NF-κB Signaling during Virus Infection Kun Song and Shitao Li * Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) family are the master transcription factors that control cell proliferation, apoptosis, the expression of interferons and proinflammatory factors, and viral infection. During viral infection, host innate immune system senses viral products, such as viral nucleic acids, to activate innate defense pathways, including the NF-κB signaling axis, thereby inhibiting viral infection. In these NF-κB signaling pathways, diverse types of ubiquitination have been shown to participate in different steps of the signal cascades. Recent advances find that viruses also modulate the ubiquitination in NF-κB signaling pathways to activate viral gene expression or inhibit host NF-κB activation and inflammation, thereby facilitating viral infection. Understanding the role of ubiquitination in NF-κB signaling during viral infection will advance our knowledge of regulatory mechanisms of NF-κB signaling and pave the avenue for potential antiviral therapeutics. Thus, here we systematically review the ubiquitination in NF-κB signaling, delineate how viruses modulate the NF-κB signaling via ubiquitination and discuss the potential future directions.

Loss of function of the proteins encoded by tumor suppressors, through genomic inactivation of the gene, disable all the controls that balance growth, survival, and apoptosis, promoting cancer transformation. Parallel to genetic impairments, tumor suppressor products may also be functionally inactivated in the absence of mutations/deletions upon post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications. Because restoring tumor suppressor functions remains the most effective and selective approach to induce apoptosis in cancer, the dissection of mechanisms of tumor suppressor inactivation is advisable in order to further augment targeted strategies. This review will summarize the role of tumor suppressors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and attempt to describe how tumor suppressors can represent new hopes in our arsenal against chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Inactivation of USP7 has recently emerged as a new approach to treatment of malignancies. However, design of potent and specific small-molecule compounds requires detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms of USP7 substrate recognition and regulation of its catalytic activity. The goal of this work was to explore these mechanisms using solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with other methods. In our studies of USP7 substrate recognition, we structurally characterized its interaction with ICP0 protein from Herpes Simplex virus 1 and identified a novel USP7 substrate-binding site harbored within its C-terminal region. To address the question of USP7 activity regulation, we investigated its interaction with ubiquitin, which was believed to cause structural rearrangement of USP7 active site from an unproductive to a catalytically competent conformation. Surprisingly, we showed that in solution USP7 – ubiquitin interaction alone is not sufficient for activation of the enzyme as was previously postulated.

  • SUMO-1 Interacts with Mutant Ataxin-1 and Colocalizes to Its Aggregates in Purkinje Cells of SCA1 Transgenic Mice
    Archives Italiennes de Biologie, 148: 351-363, 2010. SUMO-1 interacts with mutant ataxin-1 and colocalizes to its aggregates in Purkinje cells of SCA1 transgenic mice S. KANG1, S. HONG2 1 Graduate School of Biotechnology, Korea University, Seoul, Korea; 2 Department of Biomedical Science, College of Health Science, Korea University, Seoul, Korea A bs t rac t Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is one of several progressive neurodegenerative diseases caused by the expanded polyglutamine tract in ataxin-1, the SCA1 gene product. In SCA1 patients and transgenic mice, the affected neuronal cells contain a large ubiquitin-positive aggregate which is derived from the mutant ataxin-1. Small ubiquitin-like modifier-1 (SUMO-1) is one of the most intriguing ubiquitin-like modifiers being conjugated to target proteins and modulating a number of cellular pathways. Recent findings that the aggregates from several neurodegenerative diseases are SUMO-1-positive prompted us to examine the implication of SUMO-1 in SCA1 pathogenesis. In our yeast two-hybrid experiments using mutant ataxin-1 as bait, we identified a SUMO-1 protein that directly binds to ataxin-1 protein. Interestingly, we found that most of the mutant ataxin-1-derived aggregates were SUMO-1-positive both in Purkinje cells of SCA1 transgenic mice and in HeLa cells, but not wild-type ataxin-1 in HeLa cells. In addition, the aggregates in Purkinje cells of SCA1 transgenic mice were positive against both anti-SUMO-1 and anti-ubiquitin antibodies. These results show that the SUMO-1 protein interacts with mutant ataxin-1 and colocalizes with its aggregates which suggests the involvement of the SUMO-1 system in the patho- genesis of SCA1 disease.

  • Intra Molecular Interactions in the Regulation of P53 Pathway
    Review Article Intra molecular interactions in the regulation of p53 pathway Jiandong Chen Molecular Oncology Department, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, USA Correspondence to: Jiandong Chen, PhD. H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, MRC3057A, 12902 Magnolia Drive, Tampa, FL 33612, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The p53 tumor suppressor is highly regulated at the level of protein degradation and transcriptional activity. The key players of the pathway, p53, MDM2, and MDMX are present at multiple conformational states that are responsive to regulation by post-translational modifications and protein- protein interactions. The structures of major functional domains of these proteins have been determined, but the mechanisms of several intrinsically disordered regions remain unclear despite their critical roles in signaling and regulation. Recent studies suggest that these disordered regions function in part by dynamic intra molecular interactions with the structured domains to regulate p53 DNA binding, MDM2 ubiquitin E3 ligase activity, and MDMX-p53 binding. These findings provide new insight on how p53 is controlled by various stress signals, and suggest potential targets for the search of allosteric regulators of the p53 pathway.

Both proteins have significant sequence homology An important feature of the p53 tumor suppressor is its in their p53 binding domain, zinc finger, and RING accumulation and activation after cellular exposure to domain.
