This article is published with open access Abstract MCL1, a BCL2 relative, is critical for the survival of many cells. Its turnover is often tightly controlled through both ubiquitin-dependent and -independent mechanisms of proteasomal degradation. Several cell stress signals, including DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, are known to elicit distinct E3 ligases to ubiquitinate and degrade MCL1. Another trigger that drives MCL1 degradation is engagement by NOXA, one of its BH3-only protein ligands, but the mechanism responsible has remained unclear. From an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we discovered that the ubiquitin E3 ligase MARCH5, the ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzyme UBE2K, and the mitochondrial outer membrane protein MTCH2 co- — fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: operate to mark MCL1 for degradation by the proteasome speci cally when MCL1 is engaged by NOXA. This mechanism of degradation also required the MCL1 transmembrane domain and distinct MCL1 lysine residues to proceed, suggesting that the components likely act on the MCL1:NOXA complex by associating with it in a specific orientation within the mitochondrial outer membrane. -

The presence and degree of peripheral blood involvement in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) portend a worse clinical outcome. Available systemic therapies for CTCL may variably decrease tumor burden and improve quality of life, but offer limited effects on survival; thus, novel approaches to the treatment of advanced stages of this non-Hodgkin lymphoma are clearly warranted. -
BCL-2 Family Proteins: Changing Partners in the Dance Towards Death
Cell Death and Differentiation (2018) 25, 65–80 OPEN Official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association www.nature.com/cdd Review BCL-2 family proteins: changing partners in the dance towards death Justin Kale1, Elizabeth J Osterlund1,2 and David W Andrews*,1,2,3 The BCL-2 family of proteins controls cell death primarily by direct binding interactions that regulate mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) leading to the irreversible release of intermembrane space proteins, subsequent caspase activation and apoptosis. The affinities and relative abundance of the BCL-2 family proteins dictate the predominate interactions between anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins that regulate MOMP. We highlight the core mechanisms of BCL-2 family regulation of MOMP with an emphasis on how the interactions between the BCL-2 family proteins govern cell fate. We address the critical importance of both the concentration and affinities of BCL-2 family proteins and show how differences in either can greatly change the outcome. Further, we explain the importance of using full-length BCL-2 family proteins (versus truncated versions or peptides) to parse out the core mechanisms of MOMP regulation by the BCL-2 family. Finally, we discuss how post- translational modifications and differing intracellular localizations alter the mechanisms of apoptosis regulation by BCL-2 family proteins. Successful therapeutic intervention of MOMP regulation in human disease requires an understanding of the factors that mediate the major binding interactions between BCL-2 family proteins in cells. Cell Death and Differentiation (2018) 25, 65–80; doi:10.1038/cdd.2017.186; published online 17 November 2017 The membrane plays an active role in most BCL-2 family interactions by changing the affinities and local relative abundance of these proteins. -
The AAA-Atpase P97 Is Essential for Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Protein Turnover

Al- Benjamin Glick though several molecular components required for this process have been identifi ed, the University of Chicago mechanism of proteasome-dependent degradation of OMM-associated proteins is currently Received: Sep 3 , 2010 unclear. We show that an AAA-ATPase, p97, is required for the proteasomal degradation of Revised: Oct 26 , 2010 Mcl1 and Mfn1, two unrelated OMM proteins with short half-lives. A number of biochemical Accepted: Nov 18 , 2010 assays, as well as imaging of changes in localization of photoactivable GFP-fused Mcl1, re- vealed that p97 regulates the retrotranslocation of Mcl1 from mitochondria to the cytosol, prior to, or concurrent with, proteasomal degradation. Mcl1 retrotranslocation from the OMM depends on the activity of the ATPase domain of p97. Furthermore, p97-mediated retrotranslocation of Mcl1 can be recapitulated in vitro, confi rming a direct mitochondrial role for p97. Our results establish p97 as a novel and essential component of the OMM-associated protein degradation pathway.

ABSTRACT Compelling evidence demonstrates that miR-193a-3p is a tumor suppressor microRNA in many cancer types, and its reduced expression is linked to cancer initiation and progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. However, its mechanism of action is not consistently described between studies, and often contradicts the pleiotropic role of a microRNA in manipulating several different mRNA targets. We therefore comprehensively investigated miRNA-193a-3p's mode of action in a panel of human cancer cell lines, with a variety of genetic backgrounds, using 1B3, a synthetic microRNA mimic. Interestingly, the exact mechanism through which 1B3 reduced cell proliferation varied between cell lines. 1B3 efficiently reduced target gene expression, leading to reduced cell proliferation/survival, cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, increased cell senescence, DNA damage, and inhibition of migration. -
Whole Proteome Analysis of Human Tankyrase Knockout Cells Reveals Targets of Tankyrase- Mediated Degradation
ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02363-w OPEN Whole proteome analysis of human tankyrase knockout cells reveals targets of tankyrase- mediated degradation Amit Bhardwaj1, Yanling Yang2, Beatrix Ueberheide2 & Susan Smith1 Tankyrase 1 and 2 are poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases that function in pathways critical to cancer cell growth. Tankyrase-mediated PARylation marks protein targets for proteasomal 1234567890 degradation. Here, we generate human knockout cell lines to examine cell function and interrogate the proteome. We show that either tankyrase 1 or 2 is sufficient to maintain telomere length, but both are required to resolve telomere cohesion and maintain mitotic spindle integrity. Quantitative analysis of the proteome of tankyrase double knockout cells using isobaric tandem mass tags reveals targets of degradation, including antagonists of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (NKD1, NKD2, and HectD1) and three (Notch 1, 2, and 3) of the four Notch receptors. We show that tankyrases are required for Notch2 to exit the plasma membrane and enter the nucleus to activate transcription. Considering that Notch signaling is commonly activated in cancer, tankyrase inhibitors may have therapeutic potential in targeting this pathway. 1 Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine at the Skirball Institute, Department of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA. 2 Proteomics Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA.

Unveiling Genomic Regions That Underlie Differences Between Afec-Assaf Sheep and Its Parental Awassi Breed
Seroussi et al. Genet Sel Evol (2017) 49:19 DOI 10.1186/s12711-017-0296-3 Genetics Selection Evolution RESEARCH Open Access Unveiling genomic regions that underlie differences between Afec‑Assaf sheep and its parental Awassi breed Eyal Seroussi, Alexander Rosov, Andrey Shirak, Alon Lam and Elisha Gootwine* Abstract Background: Sheep production in Israel has improved by crossing the fat-tailed local Awassi breed with the East Friesian and later, with the Booroola Merino breed, which led to the formation of the highly prolific Afec-Assaf strain. This strain differs from its parental Awassi breed in morphological traits such as tail and horn size, coat pigmentation and wool characteristics, as well as in production, reproductive and health traits. To identify major genes associated with the formation of the Afec-Assaf strain, we genotyped 41 Awassi and 141 Afec-Assaf sheep using the Illumina Ovine SNP50 BeadChip array, and analyzed the results with PLINK and EMMAX software. The detected variable genomic regions that differed between Awassi and Afec-Assaf sheep (variable genomic regions; VGR) were compared to selection signatures that were reported in 48 published genome-wide association studies in sheep. Because the Afec-Assaf strain, but not the Awassi breed, carries the Booroola mutation, association analysis of BMPR1B used as the test gene was performed to evaluate the ability of this study to identify a VGR that includes such a major gene. Results: Of the 20 detected VGR, 12 were novel to this study. A ~7-Mb VGR was identified on Ovies aries chromo- some OAR6 where the Booroola mutation is located. -
