Abstract Apoptosis is a prominent metazoan cell death form. Yet, mutations in apoptosis regulators cause only minor defects in vertebrate development, suggesting that another developmental cell death mechanism exists. While some non-apoptotic programs have been molecularly characterized, none appear to control developmental cell culling. Linker-cell-type death (LCD) is a morphologically conserved non-apoptotic cell death process operating in C. elegans and vertebrate development, and is therefore a compelling candidate process complementing apoptosis. However, the details of LCD execution are not known. Here we delineate a molecular-genetic pathway governing LCD in C. elegans. Redundant activities of antagonistic Wnt signals, a temporal control pathway, and MAPKK signaling control HSF-1, a conserved stress-activated transcription factor. Rather than protecting cells, HSF-1 promotes their demise by activating components of the ubiquitin proteasome system, including the E2 ligase LET- 70/UBE2D2 functioning with E3 components CUL-3, RBX-1, BTBD-2, and SIAH-1. Our studies uncover design similarities between LCD and developmental apoptosis, and provide testable predictions for analyzing LCD in vertebrates. 2 Kinet, Malin et al.

  • 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.

Giovannucci1, Jana Laláková2, Victoria Menéndez-Benito2 and Nico P. Dantuma1,* ABSTRACT et al., 2006; Richly et al., 2005; Verma et al., 2004). These proteins – The consecutive actions of the ubiquitin-selective segregase Cdc48 that share the ability to interact with ubiquitylated proteins either and the ubiquitin shuttle factor Rad23 result in the delivery of through the presence of ubiquitin-binding domains or by interacting – ubiquitylated proteins at the proteasome. Here, we show that the with proteins that contain these motifs can, depending on their deubiquitylating enzyme Ubp12 interacts with Cdc48 and regulates mode of action, either promote or prevent the degradation of proteasomal degradation of Rad23-dependent substrates in ubiquitylated proteins. Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Overexpression of Ubp12 results in In yeast, the ubiquitin-selective segregase Cdc48 [also known as stabilization of Rad23-dependent substrates. We show that Ubp12 valosin-containing protein (VCP) or p97 in mammals] is an removes short ubiquitin chains from the N-terminal ubiquitin-like interaction hub for proteins that modulate ubiquitylated proteins domain (UbL) of Rad23. Preventing ubiquitylation of Rad23 by (Jentsch and Rumpf, 2007). While the intrinsic segregase activity of mutation of lysine residues within

There are more than 150 different types of NMDs, where the common feature is the loss of muscle strength. These disorders are classified according to their neuroanatomical location, as motor neuron diseases, peripheral nerve diseases, neuromuscular junction diseases, and muscle diseases. Over the years, numerous studies have pointed to protein homeostasis as a crucial factor in the development of these fatal diseases.
