Protein description TRIM33 (UniProt/Swiss-Prot entry Q9UPN9) is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains - a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2 - and a coiled-coil region. TRIM33 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, which promotes SMAD4 ubiquitination, nuclear exclusion and degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. It may act as a transcriptional corepressor and inhibits the transcriptional response to the TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade. However, molecules that interact with this protein have not yet been identified..TRIM33 also plays a role in the control of cell proliferation. Its association with SMAD2 and SMAD3 stimulates erythroid differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor. Defects in TRIM24 cause thyroid papillary carcinoma. Quality control Figure 1.

Simple Summary: This review provides an in depth analysis of the role of bromodomain-containing proteins in cancer development. As readers of acetylated lysine on nucleosomal histones, bromod- omain proteins are poised to activate gene expression, and often promote cancer progression. We examined changes in gene expression patterns that are observed in bromodomain-containing proteins and associated with speciﬁc cancer types. We also mapped the protein–protein interaction network for the human bromodomain-containing proteins, discuss the cellular roles of these epigenetic regu- lators as part of nine different functional groups, and identify bromodomain-speciﬁc mechanisms in cancer development. Lastly, we summarize emerging strategies to target bromodomain proteins in cancer therapy, including those that may be essential for overcoming resistance. Overall, this review provides a timely discussion of the different mechanisms of bromodomain-containing pro- Citation: Boyson, S.P.; Gao, C.; teins in cancer, and an updated assessment of their utility as a therapeutic target for a variety of Quinn, K.; Boyd, J.; Paculova, H.; cancer subtypes.

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.

ABSTRACT In response to inhibition of the cellular proteasome, the transcription factor Nrf1 (also called NFE2L1) induces transcription of proteasome subunit genes resulting in the restoration of proteasome activity and thus enabling the cells to mitigate the proteotoxic stress. To identify novel regulators of Nrf1, we performed an RNA interference screen and discovered that the AAA+ ATPase RUVBL1 is necessary for its transcriptional activity. Given that RUVBL1 is part of different multi-subunit complexes that play key roles in transcription, we dissected this phenomenon further and found that the TIP60 chromatin regulatory complex is essential for Nrf1-dependent transcription of proteasome genes. Consistent with these observations, Nrf1, RUVBL1, and TIP60 proteins were co-recruited to the promoter regions of proteasome genes after proteasome inhibitor treatments.

This results in PKAc-mediated phosphorylation of compartmentalized substrates that control central aspects of cell physiology. The mechanism of PKAc activation and signaling have been largely characterized. However, the modes of PKAc inactivation by regulated proteolysis were unknown. Here, we identify a regulatory mechanism that precisely tunes PKAc stability and downstream signaling. Following agonist stimulation, the recruitment of the chaperone- bound E3 ligase CHIP promotes ubiquitylation and proteolysis of PKAc, thus attenuating cAMP signaling. Genetic inactivation of CHIP or pharmacological inhibition of HSP70 enhances PKAc signaling and sustains hippocampal long-term potentiation. Interestingly, primary ﬁbroblasts from autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 16 (SCAR16) patients carrying germline inactivating mutations of CHIP show a dramatic dysregulation of PKA signaling. This suggests the existence of a negative feedback mechanism for restricting hormonally controlled PKA activities. 1 Department of Molecular Medicine and Medical Biotechnologies, University Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy. 2 Department of Pharmacy, University Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy. 3 Institute of Biochemistry and Center for Molecular Biosciences, University of Innsbruck, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria.

Genome-Wide Analyses Identify Transcription Factors Required for Proper Morphogenesis of Drosophila Sensory Neuron Dendrites
Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 29, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Genome-wide analyses identify transcription factors required for proper morphogenesis of Drosophila sensory neuron dendrites Jay Z. Parrish,1 Michael D. Kim,1 Lily Yeh Jan, and Yuh Nung Jan2 Departments of Physiology and Biochemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Francisco, California 94143, USA Dendrite arborization patterns are critical determinants of neuronal function. To explore the basis of transcriptional regulation in dendrite pattern formation, we used RNA interference (RNAi) to screen 730 transcriptional regulators and identified 78 genes involved in patterning the stereotyped dendritic arbors of class I da neurons in Drosophila. Most of these transcriptional regulators affect dendrite morphology without altering the number of class I dendrite arborization (da) neurons and fall primarily into three groups. Group A genes control both primary dendrite extension and lateral branching, hence the overall dendritic field. Nineteen genes within group A act to increase arborization, whereas 20 other genes restrict dendritic coverage. Group B genes appear to balance dendritic outgrowth and branching. Nineteen group B genes function to promote branching rather than outgrowth, and two others have the opposite effects. Finally, 10 group C genes are critical for the routing of the dendritic arbors of individual class I da neurons. Thus, multiple genetic programs operate to calibrate dendritic coverage, to coordinate the elaboration of primary versus secondary branches, and to lay out these dendritic branches in the proper orientation.

A research study suggests that TRIM33 and Smad4 compete for binding to receptor phosphorylated Smad2/3 and that TRIM33-Smad2/3 and Western Blotting 1:1000 Smad4-Smad2/3 complexes complement one another in the TGF-β-dependent control of Immunoprecipitation 1:100 hematopoietic cell fate (9). Other studies, however, demonstrate that TRIM33 functions to repress signal relay by the TGF-β superfamily (7-8,10).
