BMC Genomics (2019) 20:993 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6280-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide analysis and characterization of F-box gene family in Gossypium hirsutum L Shulin Zhang1,2, Zailong Tian1, Haipeng Li1, Yutao Guo1, Yanqi Zhang1, Jeremy A. Roberts3, Xuebin Zhang1* and Yuchen Miao1* Abstract Background: F-box proteins are substrate-recognition components of the Skp1-Rbx1-Cul1-F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases. By selectively targeting the key regulatory proteins or enzymes for ubiquitination and 26S proteasome mediated degradation, F-box proteins play diverse roles in plant growth/development and in the responses of plants to both environmental and endogenous signals. Studies of F-box proteins from the model plant Arabidopsis and from many additional plant species have demonstrated that they belong to a super gene family, and function across almost all aspects of the plant life cycle. However, systematic exploration of F-box family genes in the important fiber crop cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) has not been previously performed. The genome- wide analysis of the cotton F-box gene family is now possible thanks to the completion of several cotton genome sequencing projects. Results: In current study, we first conducted a genome-wide investigation of cotton F-box family genes by reference to the published F-box protein sequences from other plant species. 592 F-box protein encoding genes were identified in the Gossypium hirsutume acc.TM-1 genome and, subsequently, we were able to present their gene structures, chromosomal locations, syntenic relationships with their parent species. In addition, duplication modes analysis showed that cotton F-box genes were distributed to 26 chromosomes, with the maximum number of genes being detected on chromosome 5.

    Zhou et al. Molecular Cancer (2019) 18:77 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-019-0979-1 REVIEW Open Access Neddylation: a novel modulator of the tumor microenvironment Lisha Zhou1,2*†, Yanyu Jiang3†, Qin Luo1, Lihui Li1 and Lijun Jia1* Abstract Neddylation, a post-translational modification that adds an ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to substrate proteins, modulates many important biological processes, including tumorigenesis. The process of protein neddylation is overactivated in multiple human cancers, providing a sound rationale for its targeting as an attractive anticancer therapeutic strategy, as evidence by the development of NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor MLN4924 (also known as pevonedistat). Neddylation inhibition by MLN4924 exerts significantly anticancer effects mainly by triggering cell apoptosis, senescence and autophagy. Recently, intensive evidences reveal that inhibition of neddylation pathway, in addition to acting on tumor cells, also influences the functions of multiple important components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), cancer-associated endothelial cells (CAEs) and some factors, all of which are crucial for tumorigenesis. Here, we briefly summarize the latest progresses in this field to clarify the roles of neddylation in the TME, thus highlighting the overall anticancer efficacy of neddylaton inhibition.

  • Gene-Expression Signature Regulated by the KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 Axis Is Associated with a Poor Prognosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer Akhileshwar Namani1†, Md
    Namani et al. BMC Cancer (2018) 18:46 DOI 10.1186/s12885-017-3907-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Gene-expression signature regulated by the KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 axis is associated with a poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell cancer Akhileshwar Namani1†, Md. Matiur Rahaman2†, Ming Chen2* and Xiuwen Tang1* Abstract Background: NRF2 is the key regulator of oxidative stress in normal cells and aberrant expression of the NRF2 pathway due to genetic alterations in the KEAP1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1)-NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2)-CUL3 (cullin 3) axis leads to tumorigenesis and drug resistance in many cancers including head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The main goal of this study was to identify specific genes regulated by the KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 axis in HNSCC patients, to assess the prognostic value of this gene signature in different cohorts, and to reveal potential biomarkers. Methods: RNA-Seq V2 level 3 data from 279 tumor samples along with 37 adjacent normal samples from patients enrolled in the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-HNSCC study were used to identify upregulated genes using two methods (altered KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 versus normal, and altered KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 versus wild-type). We then used a new approach to identify the combined gene signature by integrating both datasets and subsequently tested this signature in 4 independent HNSCC datasets to assess its prognostic value. In addition, functional annotation using the DAVID v6.8 database and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis using the STRING v10 databasewereperformedonthesignature. Results: A signature composed of a subset of 17 genes regulated by the KEAP1-NRF2-CUL3 axis was identified by overlapping both the upregulated genes of altered versus normal (251 genes) and altered versus wild-type (25 genes) datasets.

  • And CAND1-Dependent Remodelling of the Budding Yeast SCF Complex
    ARTICLE Received 31 Jan 2013 | Accepted 20 Feb 2013 | Published 27 Mar 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2628 OPEN CSN- and CAND1-dependent remodelling of the budding yeast SCF complex Aleksandra Zemla1, Yann Thomas1, Sylwia Kedziora1, Axel Knebel1, Nicola T Wood1, Gwenae¨l Rabut2 & Thimo Kurz1 Cullin–RING ligases (CRLs) are ubiquitin E3 enzymes with variable substrate-adaptor and -receptor subunits. All CRLs are activated by modification of the cullin subunit with the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 (neddylation). The protein CAND1 (Cullin-associated-Nedd8- dissociated-1) also promotes CRL activity, even though it only interacts with inactive ligase complexes. The molecular mechanism underlying this behaviour remains largely unclear. Here, we find that yeast SCF (Skp1–Cdc53–F-box) Cullin–RING complexes are remodelled in a CAND1-dependent manner, when cells are switched from growth in fermentable to non-fermentable carbon sources. Mechanistically, CAND1 promotes substrate adaptor release following SCF deneddylation by the COP9 signalosome (CSN). CSN- or CAND1- mutant cells fail to release substrate adaptors. This delays the formation of new complexes during SCF reactivation and results in substrate degradation defects. Our results shed light on how CAND1 regulates CRL activity and demonstrate that the cullin neddylation– deneddylation cycle is not only required to activate CRLs, but also to regulate substrate specificity through dynamic substrate adaptor exchange. 1 Scottish Institute for Cell Signalling, Protein Ubiquitylation Unit, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK. 2 CNRS, Universite´ Rennes 1, Institut de Ge´ne´tique et De´veloppement de Rennes, 2 avenue du Professeur Le´on Bernard, CS 34317, Rennes Cedex 35043, France.

    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Kelch-Like Protein 2 Mediates Angiotensin II–With No Lysine 3 Signaling in the Regulation of Vascular Tonus Moko Zeniya, Nobuhisa Morimoto, Daiei Takahashi, Yutaro Mori, Takayasu Mori, Fumiaki Ando, Yuya Araki, Yuki Yoshizaki, Yuichi Inoue, Kiyoshi Isobe, Naohiro Nomura, Katsuyuki Oi, Hidenori Nishida, Sei Sasaki, Eisei Sohara, Tatemitsu Rai, and Shinichi Uchida Department of Nephrology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan ABSTRACT Recently, the kelch-like protein 3 (KLHL3)–Cullin3 complex was identified as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for with no lysine (WNK) kinases, and the impaired ubiquitination of WNK4 causes pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII), a hereditary hypertensive disease. However, the involvement of WNK kinase regulation by ubiquitination in situations other than PHAII has not been identified. Previously, we identified the WNK3–STE20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase–Na/K/Cl cotransporter isoform 1 phosphoryla- tion cascade in vascular smooth muscle cells and found that it constitutes an important mechanism of vascular constriction by angiotensin II (AngII). In this study, we investigated the involvement of KLHL proteins in AngII-induced WNK3 activation of vascular smooth muscle cells. In the mouse aorta and mouse vascular smooth muscle (MOVAS) cells, KLHL3 was not expressed, but KLHL2, the closest homolog of KLHL3, was expressed. Salt depletion and acute infusion of AngII decreased KLHL2 and increased WNK3 levels in the mouse aorta. Notably, the AngII-induced changes in KLHL2 and WNK3 expression occurred within minutes in MOVAS cells. Results of KLHL2 overexpression and knockdown experiments in MOVAS cells confirmed that KLHL2 is the major regulator of WNK3 protein abundance.

  • CUL3 Gene Cullin 3
    CUL3 gene cullin 3 Normal Function The CUL3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called cullin-3. This protein plays a role in the cell machinery that breaks down (degrades) unwanted proteins, called the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Cullin-3 is a core piece of a complex known as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. E3 ubiquitin ligases function as part of the ubiquitin-proteasome system by tagging damaged and excess proteins with molecules called ubiquitin. Ubiquitin serves as a signal to specialized cell structures known as proteasomes, which attach (bind) to the tagged proteins and degrade them. The ubiquitin-proteasome system acts as the cell's quality control system by disposing of damaged, misshapen, and excess proteins. This system also regulates the level of proteins involved in several critical cell activities such as the timing of cell division and growth. E3 ubiquitin ligases containing the cullin-3 protein tag proteins called WNK1 and WNK4 with ubiquitin. These proteins are involved in controlling blood pressure in the body. By regulating the amount of WNK1 and WNK4 available, cullin-3 plays a role in blood pressure control. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 2 At least 17 mutations in the CUL3 gene can cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type 2 ( PHA2), a condition characterized by high blood pressure (hypertension) and high levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia). These mutations lead to production of an abnormally short cullin-3 protein that is missing a region. Studies show that this change alters the function of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The change leads to impaired degradation of the WNK4 protein, although the exact mechanism is unclear.

  • Expression and Purification of Functional Recombinant CUL2
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Expression and purifcation of functional recombinant CUL2•RBX1 from E. coli Stephanie Diaz1, Lihong Li1,2, Kankan Wang1 & Xing Liu1,2* Cullin-2 (CUL2) based cullin-RING ligases (CRL2s) comprise a family of ubiquitin E3 ligases that exist only in multi-cellular organisms and are crucial for cellular processes such as embryogenesis and viral pathogenesis. CUL2 is the scafold protein that binds one of the interchangeable substrate receptor modules, which consists of adaptor proteins and the substrate receptor protein. The VHL protein is a substrate receptor known to target hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF1α) for ubiquitination and degradation. Because of its critical role in the ubiquitination of important cellular factors such as HIF1α, CRL2s have been investigated for their biological functions and the development of novel therapeutics against diseases. Given the importance of CRL2s in biological and biomedical research, methods that efciently produce functional CUL2 proteins will greatly facilitate studies on the mechanism and regulation of CRL2s. Here, we report two cost-efective systems for the expression and purifcation of recombinant human CUL2 from E. coli cells. The purifed CUL2 proteins were ~ 95% pure, could bind their substrate receptor modules, and were enzymatically active in transferring ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like protein to the corresponding substrate in in vitro assays. The presented methodological advancements will help advance research in CRL2 function and regulation. Protein turnover is a cellular regulatory system defned by the continuous synthesis and decomposition of specifc proteins to maintain the integrity of optimally functioning proteins 1,2. Abnormalities during protein turnover, specifcally during protein degradation, ofen result in human diseases such as cystic fbrosis and liposarcoma.

Here, we used Cul3 mouse models to evaluate the 14 consequences of Cul3 mutations in vivo. Our results show that Cul3 haploinsufficient mice 15 exhibit deficits in motor coordination as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. 16 Cul3 mutant brain displays cortical lamination abnormalities due to defective neuronal migration 17 and reduced numbers of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In line with the observed abnormal 18 columnar organization, Cul3 haploinsufficiency is associated with decreased spontaneous 19 excitatory and inhibitory activity in the cortex. At the molecular level, employing a quantitative 20 proteomic approach, we show that Cul3 regulates cytoskeletal and adhesion protein abundance 21 in mouse embryos.

    polymers Review Proteasome Biology: Chemistry and Bioengineering Insights Lucia Raˇcková * and Erika Csekes Centre of Experimental Medicine, Institute of Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Dúbravská cesta 9, 841 04 Bratislava, Slovakia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 23 November 2020; Published: 4 December 2020 Abstract: Proteasomal degradation provides the crucial machinery for maintaining cellular proteostasis. The biological origins of modulation or impairment of the function of proteasomal complexes may include changes in gene expression of their subunits, ubiquitin mutation, or indirect mechanisms arising from the overall impairment of proteostasis. However, changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of the cellular environment might also meaningfully contribute to altered performance. This review summarizes the effects of physicochemical factors in the cell, such as pH, temperature fluctuations, and reactions with the products of oxidative metabolism, on the function of the proteasome. Furthermore, evidence of the direct interaction of proteasomal complexes with protein aggregates is compared against the knowledge obtained from immobilization biotechnologies. In this regard, factors such as the structures of the natural polymeric scaffolds in the cells, their content of reactive groups or the sequestration of metal ions, and processes at the interface, are discussed here with regard to their
