  • The HECT Domain Ubiquitin Ligase HUWE1 Targets Unassembled Soluble Proteins for Degradation
    OPEN Citation: Cell Discovery (2016) 2, 16040; doi:10.1038/celldisc.2016.40 ARTICLE www.nature.com/celldisc The HECT domain ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 targets unassembled soluble proteins for degradation Yue Xu1, D Eric Anderson2, Yihong Ye1 1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA; 2Advanced Mass Spectrometry Core Facility, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA In eukaryotes, many proteins function in multi-subunit complexes that require proper assembly. To maintain complex stoichiometry, cells use the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation system to degrade unassembled membrane subunits, but how unassembled soluble proteins are eliminated is undefined. Here we show that degradation of unassembled soluble proteins (referred to as unassembled soluble protein degradation, USPD) requires the ubiquitin selective chaperone p97, its co-factor nuclear protein localization protein 4 (Npl4), and the proteasome. At the ubiquitin ligase level, the previously identified protein quality control ligase UBR1 (ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1) and the related enzymes only process a subset of unassembled soluble proteins. We identify the homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain-containing protein HUWE1 as a ubiquitin ligase for substrates bearing unshielded, hydrophobic segments. We used a stable isotope labeling with amino acids-based proteomic approach to identify endogenous HUWE1 substrates. Interestingly, many HUWE1 substrates form multi-protein com- plexes that function in the nucleus although HUWE1 itself is cytoplasmically localized. Inhibition of nuclear entry enhances HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, suggesting that USPD occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of Hsp27 on HMGB1 translocation from the Acetylation nucleus to the cytoplasm in THP-1 cells. We found that Hsp27 phosphorylation decreased LPS-induced HMGB1 acetylation and translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, as well as its release from THP-1 cells. The study further showed that cytosolic non-phosphorylated Hsp27 enhanced CBP ubiquitination and degradation in LPS-unstimulated cells, which suggested that Hsp27 maintained suitable CBP levels under normal physiological conditions. After LPS stimulation, Hsp27 was phosphorylated at serine residues 15/78 and translocated from the cytoplasm into the nucleus.

It is shown the distribution of the largest connected component of 10.000 random modules of the same size of the DMD module network. The green line (x=260) represents the DMD largest connected component, obtaining a z-score=8.9. Figure S3. Shared genes between BMD and DMD signature. A) A meta-analysis of three microarray datasets (GSE3307, GSE13608 and GSE109178) was performed for the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in BMD muscle biopsies as compared to normal muscle biopsies. Briefly, the GSE13608 dataset included 6 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 5 samples from BMD patients. Biopsies were taken from either biceps brachii, triceps brachii or deltoid. The GSE3307 dataset included 17 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 10 samples from BMD patients. The GSE109178 dataset included 14 samples of controls and 11 samples from BMD patients. For both GSE3307 and GSE10917 datasets, biopsies were taken at the time of diagnosis and from the vastus lateralis. For the meta-analysis of GSE13608, GSE3307 and GSE109178, a random effects model of effect size measure was used to integrate gene expression patterns from the two datasets. Genes with an adjusted p value (FDR) < 0.05 and an │effect size│>2 were identified as DEGs and selected for further analysis. A significant number of DEGs (p<0.001) were in common with the DMD signature genes (blue nodes), as determined by a hypergeometric test assessing the significance of the overlap between the BMD DEGs and the number of DMD signature genes B) MCODE analysis of the overlapping genes between BMD DEGs and DMD signature genes.

  • HDAC Inhibition Activates the Apoptosome Via Apaf1 Upregulation
    Buurman et al. Eur J Med Res (2016) 21:26 DOI 10.1186/s40001-016-0217-x European Journal of Medical Research RESEARCH Open Access HDAC inhibition activates the apoptosome via Apaf1 upregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma Reena Buurman, Maria Sandbothe, Brigitte Schlegelberger and Britta Skawran* Abstract Background: Histone deacetylation, a common hallmark in malignant tumors, strongly alters the transcription of genes involved in the control of proliferation, cell survival, differentiation and genetic stability. We have previously shown that HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 (HDAC1–3) genes encoding histone deacetylases 1–3 are upregulated in primary human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to characterize the functional effects of HDAC1–3 downregulation and to identify functionally important target genes of histone deacetylation in HCC. Methods: Therefore, HCC cell lines were treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) trichostatin A and by siRNA-knockdown of HDAC1–3. Differentially expressed mRNAs were identified after siRNA-knockdown of HDAC1–3 using mRNA expression profiling. Findings were validated after siRNA-mediated silencing of HDAC1–3 using qRTPCR and Western blotting assays. Results: mRNA profiling identified apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf1) to be significantly upregulated after HDAC inhibition (HLE siRNA#1/siRNA#2 p < 0.05, HLF siRNA#1/siRNA#2 p < 0.05). As a component of the apoptosome, a caspase-activating complex, Apaf1 plays a central role in the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway of apopto- sis. Using annexin V, a significant increase in apoptosis could also be shown in HLE (siRNA #1 p 0.0034) and HLF after siRNA against HDAC1–3 (Fig.

  • Apoptotic Threshold Is Lowered by P53 Transactivation of Caspase-6

We identified executioner caspase-6 as a p53 is able to accelerate the apoptosis cascade by loading the cell transcriptional target of p53. The mechanism involves DNA binding with cell death proteases so that when an apoptotic signal is by p53 to the third intron of the caspase-6 gene and transactiva- received, programmed cell death occurs rapidly. tion.
