Constitutive Scaffolding of Multiple Wnt Enhanceosome Components By
RESEARCH ARTICLE Constitutive scaffolding of multiple Wnt enhanceosome components by Legless/ BCL9 Laurens M van Tienen, Juliusz Mieszczanek, Marc Fiedler, Trevor J Rutherford, Mariann Bienz* MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract Wnt/b-catenin signaling elicits context-dependent transcription switches that determine normal development and oncogenesis. These are mediated by the Wnt enhanceosome, a multiprotein complex binding to the Pygo chromatin reader and acting through TCF/LEF- responsive enhancers. Pygo renders this complex Wnt-responsive, by capturing b-catenin via the Legless/BCL9 adaptor. We used CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering of Drosophila legless (lgs) and human BCL9 and B9L to show that the C-terminus downstream of their adaptor elements is crucial for Wnt responses. BioID proximity labeling revealed that BCL9 and B9L, like PYGO2, are constitutive components of the Wnt enhanceosome. Wnt-dependent docking of b-catenin to the enhanceosome apparently causes a rearrangement that apposes the BCL9/B9L C-terminus to TCF. This C-terminus binds to the Groucho/TLE co-repressor, and also to the Chip/LDB1-SSDP enhanceosome core complex via an evolutionary conserved element. An unexpected link between BCL9/B9L, PYGO2 and nuclear co-receptor complexes suggests that these b-catenin co-factors may coordinate Wnt and nuclear hormone responses.

Mouse Cep104 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Cep104 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Cep104 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Cep104 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_177673 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000039523 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 4. 22 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 22 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000047497). Exon 5~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Cep104 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-101G23 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 5 starts from about 15.41% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5~6 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1291 bp, and the size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1224 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1111 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

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. -
Par6c Is at the Mother Centriole and Controls Centrosomal Protein
860 Research Article Par6c is at the mother centriole and controls centrosomal protein composition through a Par6a-dependent pathway Vale´rian Dormoy, Kati Tormanen and Christine Su¨ tterlin* Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697-2300, USA *Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Accepted 3 December 2012 Journal of Cell Science 126, 860–870 ß 2013. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi: 10.1242/jcs.121186 Summary The centrosome contains two centrioles that differ in age, protein composition and function. This non-membrane bound organelle is known to regulate microtubule organization in dividing cells and ciliogenesis in quiescent cells. These specific roles depend on protein appendages at the older, or mother, centriole. In this study, we identified the polarity protein partitioning defective 6 homolog gamma (Par6c) as a novel component of the mother centriole. This specific localization required the Par6c C-terminus, but was independent of intact microtubules, the dynein/dynactin complex and the components of the PAR polarity complex. Par6c depletion resulted in altered centrosomal protein composition, with the loss of a large number of proteins, including Par6a and p150Glued, from the centrosome. As a consequence, there were defects in ciliogenesis, microtubule organization and centrosome reorientation during migration. Par6c interacted with Par3 and aPKC, but these proteins were not required for the regulation of centrosomal protein composition. Par6c also associated with Par6a, which controls protein recruitment to the centrosome through p150Glued. Our study is the first to identify Par6c as a component of the mother centriole and to report a role of a mother centriole protein in the regulation of centrosomal protein composition. -

Page 1/28 Abstract Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stromal cells that release extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs contain various growth factors and antioxidants that can positively affect the surrounding cells. Nanoscale MSC-derived EVs, such as exosomes, have been developed as bio-stable nano-type materials. However, some issues, such as low yield and diculty in quantication, limit their use. We hypothesized that enhancing exosome production using nanoparticles would stimulate the release of intracellular molecules. Results: The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of exosome generation by comparing the internalization of surface-modied, positively charged nanoparticles and exosome generation from MSCs. -

Both associate with ribosomes but mechanistic insights on their 15 function remain elusive. Here we determine that Not5 and Not4 synchronously impact translation initiation and Not5 alone alters translation elongation. Deletion of Not5 causes elongation defects in a codon-dependent fashion, increasing and decreasing the ribosome dwelling occupancy at minor and major codons, respectively. This larger difference in codons’ translation velocities alters translation globally and enables kinetically unfavorable processes 20 such as nascent chain deubiquitination to take place. In turn, this leads to abortive translation and favors protein aggregation. These findings highlight the global impact of Not4 and Not5 in controlling the speed of mRNA translation and transition from initiation to elongation. Summary: Not4 and Not5 regulate translation synchronously but distinguishably, facilitating 25 smooth transition from initiation to elongation Results and discussion The Ccr4-Not complex is a global regulator of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotic cells (for review see (1)). -

Is Cep70, a Centrosomal Protein with New Roles in Breast Cancer Dissemination and Metastasis, a Facilitator of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition?
Is Cep70, a centrosomal protein with new roles in breast cancer dissemination and metastasis, a facilitator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition? Pedro A. Lazo 1,2 1 Experimental Therapeutics and Translational Oncology Program, Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular del Cáncer, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Universidad de Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain 2 Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Salamanca (IBSAL), Hospital Universitario de Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain Running title: Cep70 and EMT Disclosures: None declared. Contact address: [email protected] 1 Introduction Microtubules are driving mechanisms of chromosomes, intracellular organelle movement, and cell shape and motility. Microtubules are organized on centrosomes, which are assembled in microtubule-organizing centers (MTOC). In mitosis there is no nuclear envelope and centromeres associated to microtubules are mainly involved in chromosome redistribution into daughter cells. In differentiated cells the microtubule- organizing centers are dispersed in the cytoplasm (non centrosomal (ncMTOC)) and interact with the minus end of microtubules through γ-tubulin. 1 However, it is not known if the microtubule contribution to tumor biology is only by facilitating tumor aneuploidy. During tumor dissemination, a process not linked to cell division, important changes take place in cell shape and motility. Microtubules are very dynamic because of their inherent structural instability, and this plasticity facilitates their reorganization during the epithelial-mesenchymal
