  • RNF11 at the Crossroads of Protein Ubiquitination
    biomolecules Review RNF11 at the Crossroads of Protein Ubiquitination Anna Mattioni, Luisa Castagnoli and Elena Santonico * Department of Biology, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Via della ricerca scientifica, 00133 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (A.M.); [email protected] (L.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 8 November 2020; Published: 11 November 2020 Abstract: RNF11 (Ring Finger Protein 11) is a 154 amino-acid long protein that contains a RING-H2 domain, whose sequence has remained substantially unchanged throughout vertebrate evolution. RNF11 has drawn attention as a modulator of protein degradation by HECT E3 ligases. Indeed, the large number of substrates that are regulated by HECT ligases, such as ITCH, SMURF1/2, WWP1/2, and NEDD4, and their role in turning off the signaling by ubiquitin-mediated degradation, candidates RNF11 as the master regulator of a plethora of signaling pathways. Starting from the analysis of the primary sequence motifs and from the list of RNF11 protein partners, we summarize the evidence implicating RNF11 as an important player in modulating ubiquitin-regulated processes that are involved in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) signaling pathways. This connection appears to be particularly significant, since RNF11 is overexpressed in several tumors, even though its role as tumor growth inhibitor or promoter is still controversial. The review highlights the different facets and peculiarities of this unconventional small RING-E3 ligase and its implication in tumorigenesis, invasion, neuroinflammation, and cancer metastasis. Keywords: Ring Finger Protein 11; HECT ligases; ubiquitination 1.

  • Knowledge Management Enviroments for High Throughput Biology
    Knowledge Management Enviroments for High Throughput Biology Abhey Shah A Thesis submitted for the degree of MPhil Biology Department University of York September 2007 Abstract With the growing complexity and scale of data sets in computational biology and chemoin- formatics, there is a need for novel knowledge processing tools and platforms. This thesis describes a newly developed knowledge processing platform that is different in its emphasis on architecture, flexibility, builtin facilities for datamining and easy cross platform usage. There exist thousands of bioinformatics and chemoinformatics databases, that are stored in many different forms with different access methods, this is a reflection of the range of data structures that make up complex biological and chemical data. Starting from a theoretical ba- sis, FCA (Formal Concept Analysis) an applied branch of lattice theory, is used in this thesis to develop a file system that automatically structures itself by it’s contents. The procedure of extracting concepts from data sets is examined. The system also finds appropriate labels for the discovered concepts by extracting data from ontological databases. A novel method for scaling non-binary data for use with the system is developed. Finally the future of integrative systems biology is discussed in the context of efficiently closed causal systems.

Abstract Proteins that drive processes like clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) are expressed at various copy numbers within a cell, from hundreds (e.g. auxilin) to millions (e.g. clathrin). Between cell types with identical genomes, copy numbers further vary significantly both in absolute and relative abundance. These variations contain essential information about each protein’s function, but how significant are these variations and how can they be quantified to infer useful functional behavior? Here, we address this by quantifying the stoichiometry of proteins involved in the CME network. We find robust trends across three cell types in proteins that are sub- vs super-stoichiometric in terms of protein function, network topology (e.g.

  • Mammalian Eps15 Homology Domain 1 Potentiates Angiogenesis of Non
    Wang et al. Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research (2019) 38:174 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-019-1162-7 RESEARCH Open Access Mammalian Eps15 homology domain 1 potentiates angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer by regulating β2AR signaling Ting Wang1†, Ying Xing1†, Qingwei Meng2, Hailing Lu1, Wei Liu1, Shi Yan1, Yang Song3, Xinyuan Xu1, Jian Huang1, Yue Cui1, Dexin Jia1 and Li Cai1* Abstract Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a devastating disease with a heterogeneous prognosis, and the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor progression remain elusive. Mammalian Eps15 homology domain 1 (EHD1) plays a promotive role in tumor progression, but its role in cancer angiogenesis remains unknown. This study thus explored the role of EHD1 in angiogenesis in NSCLC. Methods: The changes in angiogenesis were evaluated through human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration and tube formation assays. The impact of EHD1 on β2-adrenoceptor (β2AR) signaling was evaluated by Western blotting, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, and enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The interaction between EHD1 and β2AR was confirmed by immunofluorescence (IF) and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments, and confocal microscopy immunofluorescence studies revealed that β2AR colocalized with the recycling endosome marker Rab11, which indicated β2AR endocytosis. Xenograft tumor models were used to investigate the role of EHD1 in NSCLC tumor growth. Results: The microarray analysis revealed that EHD1 was significantly correlated with tumor angiogenesis, and loss- and gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that EHD1 potentiates HUVEC proliferation, migration and tube formation. EHD1 knockdown inhibited β2AR signaling activity, and EHD1 upregulation promoted vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and β2AR expression.

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from chromosomal instability, resulting from aberrant Citation: Wang, Y.-H.; Chang, S.-C.; hypermethylation in tumor suppressor genes. This study identified hypermethylated genes in Ansar, M.; Hung, C.-S.; Lin, R.-K. CRC and investigated how they affect clinical outcomes. Methylation levels of specific genes were Eps15 Homology Domain-Containing analyzed from The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and 20 breast cancer, 16 esophageal cancer, 33 lung Protein 3 Hypermethylation as a cancer, 15 uterine cancer, 504 CRC, and 9 colon polyp tissues and 102 CRC plasma samples from a Prognostic and Predictive Marker for Colorectal Cancer.

    Nieber et al. BMC Developmental Biology 2013, 13:36 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-213X/13/36 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access NumbL is essential for Xenopus primary neurogenesis Frank Nieber1,2, Marie Hedderich1,2, Olaf Jahn2,3, Tomas Pieler1,2 and Kristine A Henningfeld1,2* Abstract Background: Members of the vertebrate Numb family of cell fate determinants serve multiple functions throughout early embryogenesis, including an essential role in the development of the nervous system. The Numb proteins interact with various partner proteins and correspondingly participate in multiple cellular activities, including inhibition of the Notch pathway. Results: Here, we describe the expression characteristics of Numb and Numblike (NumbL) during Xenopus development and characterize the function of NumbL during primary neurogenesis. NumbL, in contrast to Numb,is expressed in the territories of primary neurogenesis and is positively regulated by the Neurogenin family of proneural transcription factors. Knockdown of NumbL afforded a complete loss of primary neurons and did not lead to an increase in Notch signaling in the open neural plate. Furthermore, we provide evidence that interaction of NumbL with the AP-2 complex is required for NumbL function during primary neurogenesis. Conclusion: We demonstrate an essential role of NumbL during Xenopus primary neurogenesis and provide evidence for a Notch-independent function of NumbL in this context. Keywords: Numb, Notch, Primary neurogenesis, Neurogenin, Neuronal differentiation, Xenopus Background In vertebrates, there are two closely related genes that Numb type proteins define an evolutionary conserved are homologues of Drosophila Numb, namely Numb and class of adaptor proteins that have been implicated in a Numblike (NumbL) [9-11].
