Post-Translational Control of Sp-Family Transcription Factors Current Genomics, 2008, 9, 301-311 301 Post-Translational Control of Sp-Family Transcription Factors J.S. Waby, C.D. Bingle and B.M. Corfe* School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Sheffield, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, S10 2JF, UK Abstract: Sp-family transcription factors are widely expressed in human tissues and involved in the regulation of many cellular processes and response to cellular microenvironment. These responses appear to be mediated by alterations in transcription factor affinity for DNA rather than altered protein level. How might such changes be effected? This review will identify the range of known post-translational modifications (PTMs) of Sp-factors and the sometimes conflicting lit- erature about the roles of PTMs in regulating activity. We will speculate on the interaction between cell environment, chromatin microenvironment and the role of PTM in governing functionality of the proteins and the complexes to which they belong.

Safe Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and their NO derivatives (NO- NSAIDs), and synthetic analogs are highly effective as anticancer agents that exhibit relatively low toxicity compared to most clinically used drugs. However, the mechanisms of action for NSAIDs and NO-NSAIDs are not well defined and this has restricted their clinical applications and applications for combined therapies. Earlier studies from our laboratory reported that specificity protein (Sp) transcription factors (Sp1, Sp3 and Sp4) are overexpressed in several types of human cancers including colon cancer and many Sp-regulated genes are pro-oncogenic and individual targets for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a metabolic disorder for which the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. This investigation aimed to elucidate essential candidate genes and pathways in T1DM by integrated bioinformatics analysis. In this study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using DESeq2 of R package from GSE162689 of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis, and construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, modules, miRNA-hub gene regulatory network and TF-hub gene regulatory network, and validation of hub genes were then performed. A total of 952 DEGs (477 up regulated and 475 down regulated genes) were identified in T1DM. GO and REACTOME enrichment result results showed that DEGs mainly enriched in multicellular organism development, detection of stimulus, diseases of signal transduction by growth factor receptors and second messengers, and olfactory signaling pathway.

    Supplementary Methods Verhaak sub-classification The Verhaak called tumor subtype was assigned as determined in the Verhaak et al. manuscript, for those TCGA tumors that were included at the time. TCGA data for expression (Affymetrix platform, level 1) and methylation (Infinium platform level 3) were downloaded from the TCGA portal on 09/29/2011. Affymetrix data were processed using R and Biocondutor with a RMA algorithm using quantile normalization and custom CDF. Level 3 methylation data has already been processed and converted to a beta-value. The genes that make up the signature for each of the 4 Verhaak groups (i.e. Proneural, Neural, Mesenchymal, and Classical) were downloaded. For each tumor, the averaged expression of the 4 genes signatures was calculated generating 4 ‘metagene’ scores, one for each subtype, (Colman et al.2010) for every tumor. Then each subtype metagene score was z-score corrected to allow comparison among the 4 metagenes. Finally, for each tumor the subtype with the highest metagene z-score among the four was used to assign subtype. Thus by this method, a tumor is assigned to the group to which it has the strongest expression signature. The shortcoming is that if a tumor has a ‘dual personality’ – for instance has strong expression of both classical and mesenchymal signature genes, there is some arbitrariness to the tumor’s assignment. Western Blot Analysis and cell fractionation Western blot analysis was performed using standard protocols. To determine protein expression we used the following antibodies: TAZ (Sigma and BD Biosciences), YAP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), CD44 (Cell Signaling), FN1 (BD Biosciences), TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, TEAD4 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), MST1, p-MST1, MOB1, LATS1, LATS2, 14-3-3-, 1 ACTG2, (Cell Signaling), p-LATS1/2 (Abcam), Flag (Sigma Aldrich), Actin (Calbiochem), CAV2 (BD Biosciences), CTGF (Santa Cruz), RUNX2 (Sigma Aldrich), Cylin A, Cyclin E, Cyclin B1, p-cdk1, p-cdk4 (Cell Signaling Technologies).

  • Cell Cycle Arrest Through Indirect Transcriptional Repression by P53: I Have a DREAM
    Cell Death and Differentiation (2018) 25, 114–132 Official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association OPEN www.nature.com/cdd Review Cell cycle arrest through indirect transcriptional repression by p53: I have a DREAM Kurt Engeland1 Activation of the p53 tumor suppressor can lead to cell cycle arrest. The key mechanism of p53-mediated arrest is transcriptional downregulation of many cell cycle genes. In recent years it has become evident that p53-dependent repression is controlled by the p53–p21–DREAM–E2F/CHR pathway (p53–DREAM pathway). DREAM is a transcriptional repressor that binds to E2F or CHR promoter sites. Gene regulation and deregulation by DREAM shares many mechanistic characteristics with the retinoblastoma pRB tumor suppressor that acts through E2F elements. However, because of its binding to E2F and CHR elements, DREAM regulates a larger set of target genes leading to regulatory functions distinct from pRB/E2F. The p53–DREAM pathway controls more than 250 mostly cell cycle-associated genes. The functional spectrum of these pathway targets spans from the G1 phase to the end of mitosis. Consequently, through downregulating the expression of gene products which are essential for progression through the cell cycle, the p53–DREAM pathway participates in the control of all checkpoints from DNA synthesis to cytokinesis including G1/S, G2/M and spindle assembly checkpoints. Therefore, defects in the p53–DREAM pathway contribute to a general loss of checkpoint control. Furthermore, deregulation of DREAM target genes promotes chromosomal instability and aneuploidy of cancer cells. Also, DREAM regulation is abrogated by the human papilloma virus HPV E7 protein linking the p53–DREAM pathway to carcinogenesis by HPV.Another feature of the pathway is that it downregulates many genes involved in DNA repair and telomere maintenance as well as Fanconi anemia.

Thomas,1 James M. Olson,2 Stephen J. Tapscott,2 and Lue Ping Zhao1,3 1Division of Public Health Sciences and 2Division of Molecular Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98109-1024, USA We have developed a statistical regression modeling approach to discover genes that are differentially expressed between two predefined sample groups in DNA microarray experiments. Our model is based on well-defined assumptions, uses rigorous and well-characterized statistical measures, and accounts for the heterogeneity and genomic complexity of the data.
