Although ubiquitination events and the E3 ubiquitin ligases involved are increasingly characterized in many signaling pathways, their regulation by deubiquitinating enzymes remains less understood. The C-type lectin receptor (CLR) signaling adaptor CARD9 was previously reported to be activated via TRIM62-mediated ubiquitination. In this study, we identify the deubiquitinase USP15 as a novel regulator of CARD9, demonstrating that USP15 constitutively associates with CARD9 and removes TRIM62-deposited ubiquitin marks. Furthermore, USP15 knockdown and knockout specifically enhance CARD9-dependent CLR signaling in both mouse and human immune cells. Altogether, our study identifies a novel regulator of innate immune signaling and provides a blueprint for the identification of additional deubiquitinases that are likely to control these processes.

CARD11/CARMA1 acts as a molecular seed inducing 1234567890():,; BCL10 filaments, but the integration of MALT1 and the assembly of a functional CBM complex has remained elusive. Using cryo-EM we solved the helical structure of the BCL10- MALT1 filament. The structural model of the filament core solved at 4.9 Å resolution iden- tified the interface between the N-terminal MALT1 DD and the BCL10 caspase recruitment domain. The C-terminal MALT1 Ig and paracaspase domains protrude from this core to orchestrate binding of mediators and substrates at the filament periphery. Mutagenesis studies support the importance of the identified BCL10-MALT1 interface for CBM complex assembly, MALT1 protease activation and NF-κB signaling in Jurkat and primary CD4 T-cells. Collectively, we present a model for the assembly and architecture of the CBM signaling complex and how it functions as a signaling hub in T-lymphocytes. 1 Gene Center, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Feodor-Lynen-Str. 25, 81377 München, Germany. 2 Research Unit Cellular Signal Integration, Institute of Molecular Toxicology and Pharmacology, Helmholtz-Zentrum München - German Research Center for Environmental Health, Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1, 85764 Neuherberg, Germany. 3 University Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, CEA, Institut de Biologie Structurale IBS, F-38044 Grenoble, France. 4 Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, McGill University, Montreal, Canada H3A 0C7.

An Evolutionary View Brad Gulko1,2 and Adam Siepel2 1Graduate Field of Computer Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA 2Simons Center for Quantitative Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA ABSTRACT Here, we ask the question, “How much information do available epigenomic data sets provide about human genomic function, individually or in combination?” We measure genomic function by using signatures of natural selection as a proxy, and we measure information in terms of reductions in entropy derived from a probabilistic evolutionary model. Our analysis of the human genome considers measures of chromatin accessibility (DNase-seq), chromatin states (ChromHMM), RNA expression (RNA-seq), small RNAs, and DNA methylation across 115 cell types from the Roadmap Epigenomics project, together with gene annotations, splice sites, predicted transcription factor binding sites, and predicted DNA melting temperatures. Selective pressure is measured using patterns of genetic variation across ~50 modern humans and several nonhuman primates. We find that protein-coding gene annotations are most informative about genomic function, followed in decreasing order by RNA-seq, ChromHMM, splice sites, melting temperature, and DNase-seq. Several features exhibit clear synergy, meaning that they yield more information in combination than they do individually.

  • Visualizing Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Apoptosis After G1 Arrest by Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Tax and Insights Into
    Arainga et al. BMC Genomics 2012, 13:275 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/13/275 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Visualizing spatiotemporal dynamics of apoptosis after G1 arrest by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 Tax and insights into gene expression changes using microarray-based gene expression analysis Mariluz Arainga1,2, Hironobu Murakami1,3 and Yoko Aida1,2* Abstract Background: Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax is a potent activator of viral and cellular gene expression that interacts with a number of cellular proteins. Many reports show that Tax is capable of regulating cell cycle progression and apoptosis both positively and negatively. However, it still remains to understand why the Tax oncoprotein induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, or whether Tax-induced apoptosis is dependent upon its ability to induce G1 arrest. The present study used time-lapse imaging to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of cell cycle dynamics in Tax-expressing HeLa cells containing the fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator, Fucci2. A large-scale host cell gene profiling approach was also used to identify the genes involved in Tax-mediated cell signaling events related to cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Results: Tax-expressing apoptotic cells showed a rounded morphology and detached from the culture dish after cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Thus, it appears that Tax induces apoptosis through pathways identical to those involved in G1 arrest. To elucidate the mechanism(s) by which Tax induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, regulation of host cellular genes by Tax was analyzed using a microarray containing approximately 18,400 human mRNA transcripts.

The aim of this study was to determine the gene expression and to enumerate the protein-expressing cells of some members of the CARD family (CARD9, CARD10, CARD11, CARD14 and CARD15) in patients with IBD and normal controls without colonic inflammation. Methods: We included 48 UC patients, 10 Crohn’s disease (CD) patients and 18 non-inflamed controls. Gene expression was performed by RT-PCR and protein expression by immunohistochemistry. CARD-expressing cells were assessed by estimating the positively staining cells and reported as the percentage. Results: TheCARD9andCARD10geneexpressionwassignificantlyhigherinUCgroupscomparedwithCD (P<0.001). CARD11 had lower gene expression in UC than in CD patients (P<0.001). CARD14 gene expression was higher in the group with active UC compared to non-inflamed controls (P<0.001). The low expression of CARD14 gene was associated with a benign clinical course of UC, characterized by initial activity followed by long-term remission longer than 5 years (P=0.01, OR = 0.07, 95%CI:0.007–0.70).

  • GATA3 Zinc Finger 2 Mutations Reprogram the Breast Cancer
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03478-4 OPEN GATA3 zinc finger 2 mutations reprogram the breast cancer transcriptional network Motoki Takaku1, Sara A. Grimm2, John D.

Wade 1 GATA3 is frequently mutated in breast cancer; these mutations are widely presumed to be loss-of function despite a dearth of information regarding their effect on disease course or 1234567890():,; their mechanistic impact on the breast cancer transcriptional network. Here, we address molecular and clinical features associated with GATA3 mutations. A novel classification scheme defines distinct clinical features for patients bearing breast tumors with mutations in the second GATA3 zinc-finger (ZnFn2). An engineered ZnFn2 mutant cell line by CRISPR–Cas9 reveals that mutation of one allele of the GATA3 second zinc finger (ZnFn2) leads to loss of binding and decreased expression at a subset of genes, including Proges- terone Receptor. At other loci, associated with epithelial to mesenchymal transition, gain of binding correlates with increased gene expression. These results demonstrate that not all GATA3 mutations are equivalent and that ZnFn2 mutations impact breast cancer through gain and loss-of function. 1 Epigenetics and Stem Cell Biology Laboratory, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, Durham, NC 27709, USA. 2 Integrative Bioinformatics, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, Durham, NC 27709, USA. 3 Comparative Medicine Branch, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, 27709 Durham, NC, USA. 4 Laboratory of Genome Integrity and Structural Biology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, Durham, NC 27709, USA.
