  • Cingulin, Paracingulin, and PLEKHA7: Signaling and Cytoskeletal Adaptors at the Apical Junctional Complex
    Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. ISSN 0077-8923 ANNALS OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Issue: Barriers and Channels Formed by Tight Junction Proteins Cingulin, paracingulin, and PLEKHA7: signaling and cytoskeletal adaptors at the apical junctional complex Sandra Citi, Pamela Pulimeno, and Serge Paschoud Department of Molecular Biology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland Address for correspondence: Sandra Citi, Department of Molecular Biology, 4 Boulevard d’Yvoy, 1211–4 Geneva, Switzerland. [email protected] Cingulin, paracingulin, and PLEKHA7 are proteins localized in the cytoplasmic region of the apical junctional complex of vertebrate epithelial cells. Cingulin has been detected at tight junctions (TJs), whereas paracingulin has been detected at both TJs and adherens junctions (AJs) and PLEKHA7 has been detected at AJs. One function of cingulin and paracingulin is to regulate the activity of Rho family GTPases at junctions through their direct interaction with guanidine exchange factors of RhoA and Rac1. Cingulin also contributes to the regulation of transcription of several genes in different types of cultured cells, in part through its ability to modulate RhoA activity. PLEKHA7, together with paracingulin, is part of a protein complex that links E-cadherin to the microtubule cytoskeleton at AJs. In this paper, we review the current knowledge about these proteins, including their discovery, the characterization of their expression, localization, structure, molecular interactions, and their roles in different developmental and disease model systems. Keywords: cingulin; paracingulin; PLEKHA7; ZO-1; p120ctn; junctions features of TJs, confirming that TJ proteins, together Cingulin and paracingulin with AJ proteins, can be part of atypical junctional Cingulin was discovered as a Mr 140 kDa pro- structures.

  • Distinct E-Cadherin-Based Complexes Regulate Cell Behaviour Through Mirna Processing Or Src and P120 Catenin Activity
    ARTICLES Distinct E-cadherin-based complexes regulate cell behaviour through miRNA processing or Src and p120 catenin activity Antonis Kourtidis1, Siu P. Ngok1,5, Pamela Pulimeno2,5, Ryan W. Feathers1, Lomeli R. Carpio1, Tiffany R. Baker1, Jennifer M. Carr1, Irene K. Yan1, Sahra Borges1, Edith A. Perez3, Peter Storz1, John A. Copland1, Tushar Patel1, E. Aubrey Thompson1, Sandra Citi4 and Panos Z. Anastasiadis1,6 E-cadherin and p120 catenin (p120) are essential for epithelial homeostasis, but can also exert pro-tumorigenic activities. Here, we resolve this apparent paradox by identifying two spatially and functionally distinct junctional complexes in non-transformed polarized epithelial cells: one growth suppressing at the apical zonula adherens (ZA), defined by the p120 partner PLEKHA7 and a non-nuclear subset of the core microprocessor components DROSHA and DGCR8, and one growth promoting at basolateral areas of cell–cell contact containing tyrosine-phosphorylated p120 and active Src. Recruitment of DROSHA and DGCR8 to the ZA is PLEKHA7 dependent. The PLEKHA7–microprocessor complex co-precipitates with primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) and possesses pri-miRNA processing activity. PLEKHA7 regulates the levels of select miRNAs, in particular processing of miR-30b, to suppress expression of cell transforming markers promoted by the basolateral complex, including SNAI1, MYC and CCND1. Our work identifies a mechanism through which adhesion complexes regulate cellular behaviour and reveals their surprising association with the microprocessor. p120 catenin (p120) was identified as a tyrosine phosphorylation with this, E-cadherin is still expressed in several types of aggressive substrate of the Src oncogene1 and an essential component of the and metastatic cancer18–20.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Tracks to the Junction:Microtubules Tethered to Zonula Adherens
    RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB) 2-2-3 Minatojima minamimachi, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0047, Japan Tracks to the junction: Microtubules tethered to zonula adherens December 9, 2008 – Microtubules are long polymer strands with functionally distinct plus- and minus-ends that function in a wide range of processes from morphogenesis to the shuttling of motor proteins through the cytoplasm. While many microtubules are anchored by their minus-ends to the centrosome, in epithelial cells some microtubules have non-centrosomal minus-ends, whose termination site has remained a mystery. New research by Wenxiang Meng and others in the Laboratory for Cell Adhesion and Tissue Patterning (Masatoshi Takeichi; Group Director) now reveals an important role for microtubules in the formation and maintenance of the zonula adherens, a lateral region in epithelial cells in which cell-cell adhesion proteins, such as cadherins, are highly concentrated. In an article published in Cell, Meng and colleagues identify a pair of novel proteins, PLEKHA7 and Nezha, which are involved in recruiting and dynamically anchoring the microtubules to the cadherin machinery. Triple-labeled cell shows differential localization of Nezha (red) and microtubule plus-end associated protein EB1 (blue). Microtubules shown in green. The study began with a search for proteins that associate with p120 catenin, one of the cytoplasmic factors that binds to the cadherin tail in the cell’s interior. PLEKHA7 emerged from a pulldown assay for p120 catenin binding partners, and on immunostaining, the group found that the protein localized at cell-cell junctions in a p120 catenin-dependent manner. Testing for function, they found that overexpression of PLEKHA7 caused greater amounts of cadherin to accumulate at the zonula adherens, while its depletion by siRNA had the opposite effect.

ABSTRACT Aim. Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated protein A (CagA) is an important vir- ulence factor known to induce gastric cancer development. However, the cause and the underlying molecular events of CagA induction remain unclear. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify the key genes involved in the process of CagA- induced gastric epithelial cell inflammation and can ceration to comprehend the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Materials and Methods. AGS cells were transected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1::CagA for 24 h. The transfected cells were subjected to transcriptome sequencing to obtain the expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) with adjusted P value < 0.05, | logFC |> 2 were screened, and the R package was applied for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The differential gene protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING Cytoscape application, which conducted visual analysis to create the key function networks and identify the key genes. Next, the Submitted 20 August 2020 Kaplan–Meier plotter survival analysis tool was employed to analyze the survival of the Accepted 11 March 2021 key genes derived from the PPI network. Further analysis of the key gene expressions Published 15 April 2021 in gastric cancer and normal tissues were performed based on The Cancer Genome Corresponding author Atlas (TCGA) database and RT-qPCR verification.

  • Genome-Scale Single-Cell Mechanical Phenotyping Reveals Disease-Related Genes Involved in Mitotic Rounding
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01147-6 OPEN Genome-scale single-cell mechanical phenotyping reveals disease-related genes involved in mitotic rounding Yusuke Toyoda 1,2, Cedric J. Cattin3, Martin P. Stewart 3,4,5, Ina Poser1, Mirko Theis6, Teymuras V. Kurzchalia1, Frank Buchholz1,6, Anthony A. Hyman1 & Daniel J. Müller 3 To divide, most animal cells drastically change shape and round up against extracellular confinement. Mitotic cells facilitate this process by generating intracellular pressure, which the contractile actomyosin cortex directs into shape. Here, we introduce a genome-scale microcantilever- and RNAi-based approach to phenotype the contribution of > 1000 genes to the rounding of single mitotic cells against confinement. Our screen analyzes the rounding force, pressure and volume of mitotic cells and localizes selected proteins. We identify 49 genes relevant for mitotic rounding, a large portion of which have not previously been linked to mitosis or cell mechanics. Among these, depleting the endoplasmic reticulum-localized protein FAM134A impairs mitotic progression by affecting metaphase plate alignment and pressure generation by delocalizing cortical myosin II. Furthermore, silencing the DJ-1 gene uncovers a link between mitochondria-associated Parkinson’s disease and mitotic pressure. We conclude that mechanical phenotyping is a powerful approach to study the mechanisms governing cell shape. 1 Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Pfotenhauerstrasse 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany. 2 Division of Cell Biology, Life Science Institute, Kurume University, Hyakunen-Kohen 1-1, Kurume, Fukuoka 839-0864, Japan. 3 Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE), Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich, Mattenstrasse 26, 4058 Basel, Switzerland.

  • A Novel PLEKHA7 Interactor at Adherens Junctions
    Thesis PDZD11: a novel PLEKHA7 interactor at adherens junctions GUERRERA, Diego Abstract PLEKHA7 is a recently identified protein of the AJ that has been involved by genetic and genomic studies in the regulation of miRNA signaling and cardiac contractility, hypertension and glaucoma. However, the molecular mechanisms behind PLEKHA7 involvement in tissue physiology and pathology remain unknown. In my thesis I report novel results which uncover PLEKHA7 functions in epithelial and endothelial cells, through the identification of a novel molecular interactor of PLEKHA7, PDZD11, by yeast two-hybrid screening, mass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation and pulldown assays. I dissected the structural basis of their interaction, showing that the WW domain of PLEKHA7 binds to the N-terminal region of PDZD11; this interaction mediates the junctional recruitment of PDZD11, identifying PDZD11 as a novel AJ protein. I provided evidence that PDZD11 forms a complex with nectins at AJ, its PDZ domain binds to the PDZ-binding motif of nectins. PDZD11 stabilizes nectins promoting the early steps of junction assembly.

  • Tight Junctions in Cell Proliferation
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Tight Junctions in Cell Proliferation Mónica Díaz-Coránguez , Xuwen Liu and David A. Antonetti * Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Michigan, Kellogg Eye Center, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, USA; [email protected] (M.D.-C.); [email protected] (X.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +(734)-232-8230; Fax: +(734)-232-8030 Received: 1 November 2019; Accepted: 22 November 2019; Published: 27 November 2019 Abstract: Tight junction (TJ) proteins form a continuous intercellular network creating a barrier with selective regulation of water, ion, and solutes across endothelial, epithelial, and glial tissues. TJ proteins include the claudin family that confers barrier properties, members of the MARVEL family that contribute to barrier regulation, and JAM molecules, which regulate junction organization and diapedesis. In addition, the membrane-associated proteins such as MAGUK family members, i.e., zonula occludens, form the scaffold linking the transmembrane proteins to both cell signaling molecules and the cytoskeleton. Most studies of TJ have focused on the contribution to cell-cell adhesion and tissue barrier properties. However, recent studies reveal that, similar to adherens junction proteins, TJ proteins contribute to the control of cell proliferation. In this review, we will summarize and discuss the specific role of TJ proteins in the control of epithelial and endothelial cell proliferation. In some cases, the TJ proteins act as a reservoir of critical cell cycle modulators, by binding and regulating their nuclear access, while in other cases, junctional proteins are located at cellular organelles, regulating transcription and proliferation. Collectively, these studies reveal that TJ proteins contribute to the control of cell proliferation and differentiation required for forming and maintaining a tissue barrier.

    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04112-z OPEN Widespread intronic polyadenylation diversifies immune cell transcriptomes Irtisha Singh1,2, Shih-Han Lee3, Adam S. Sperling4, Mehmet K. Samur4, Yu-Tzu Tai4, Mariateresa Fulciniti4, Nikhil C. Munshi4, Christine Mayr 3 & Christina S. Leslie1 Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) is known to alter untranslated region (3ʹUTR) length but can also recognize intronic polyadenylation (IpA) signals to generate 1234567890():,; transcripts that lose part or all of the coding region. We analyzed 46 3ʹ-seq and RNA-seq profiles from normal human tissues, primary immune cells, and multiple myeloma (MM) samples and created an atlas of 4927 high-confidence IpA events represented in these cell types. IpA isoforms are widely expressed in immune cells, differentially used during B-cell development or in different cellular environments, and can generate truncated proteins lacking C-terminal functional domains. This can mimic ectodomain shedding through loss of transmembrane domains or alter the binding specificity of proteins with DNA-binding or protein–protein interaction domains. MM cells display a striking loss of IpA isoforms expressed in plasma cells, associated with shorter progression-free survival and impacting key genes in MM biology and response to lenalidomide. 1 Computational and Systems Biology Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10065, USA. 2 Tri-I Program in Computational Biology and Medicine, Weill Cornell Graduate College, New York, NY 10065, USA. 3 Cancer Biology and Genetics Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10065, USA. 4 Lebow Institute of Myeloma Therapeutics and Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215, USA.

  • A SARS-Cov-2 Protein Interaction Map Reveals Targets for Drug Repurposing
    Article A SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map reveals targets for drug repurposing https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2286-9 A list of authors and affiliations appears at the end of the paper Received: 23 March 2020 Accepted: 22 April 2020 A newly described coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome Published online: 30 April 2020 coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has infected over 2.3 million people, led to the death of more than Check for updates 160,000 individuals and caused worldwide social and economic disruption1,2. There are no antiviral drugs with proven clinical efcacy for the treatment of COVID-19, nor are there any vaccines that prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, and eforts to develop drugs and vaccines are hampered by the limited knowledge of the molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells. Here we cloned, tagged and expressed 26 of the 29 SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells and identifed the human proteins that physically associated with each of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins using afnity-purifcation mass spectrometry, identifying 332 high-confdence protein–protein interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and human proteins. Among these, we identify 66 druggable human proteins or host factors targeted by 69 compounds (of which, 29 drugs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, 12 are in clinical trials and 28 are preclinical compounds). We screened a subset of these in multiple viral assays and found two sets of pharmacological agents that displayed antiviral activity: inhibitors of mRNA translation and predicted regulators of the sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors.

How 2 complexity is generated, however, is uncertain. Since C.elegans and humans have 3 approximately the same number of genes, the explanation will depend on how genes are 4 used, rather than their absolute number.
