Molecular Dynamics and Evolutionary Aspects of the Transition from the Fully Grown Oocyte to Embryo
Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 26, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Cracking the egg: molecular dynamics and evolutionary aspects of the transition from the fully grown oocyte to embryo Alexei V. Evsikov,1,5 Joel H. Graber,1 J. Michael Brockman,1,2 Aleš Hampl,3 Andrea E. Holbrook,1 Priyam Singh,1,2 John J. Eppig,1 Davor Solter,1,4 and Barbara B. Knowles1 1The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine 04609, USA; 2 Bioinformatics Program, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA; 3Masaryk University Brno and Institute of Experimental Medicine, 625 00 Brno, Czech Republic; 4Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, 79108 Freiburg, Germany Fully grown oocytes (FGOs) contain all the necessary transcripts to activate molecular pathways underlying the oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET). To elucidate this critical period of development, an extensive survey of the FGO transcriptome was performed by analyzing 19,000 expressed sequence tags of the Mus musculus FGO cDNA library. Expression of 5400 genes and transposable elements is reported. For a majority of genes expressed in mouse FGOs, homologs transcribed in eggs of Xenopus laevis or Ciona intestinalis were found, pinpointing evolutionary conservation of most regulatory cascades underlying the OET in chordates. A large proportion of identified genes belongs to several gene families with oocyte-restricted expression, a likely result of lineage-specific genomic duplications. Gene loss by mutation and expression in female germline of retrotransposed genes specific to M. musculus is documented. These findings indicate rapid diversification of genes involved in female reproduction. Comparison of the FGO and two-cell embryo transcriptomes demarcated the processes important for oogenesis from those involved in OET and identified novel motifs in maternal mRNAs associated with transcript stability. -

This family of proteins is unified by their characteristic phox (PX) phosphoinositides binding domain. Along with binding to membranes, this family of SNXs also comprises a diverse array of protein-protein interaction motifs that are required for cellular sorting and protein trafficking. SNXs play a role in maintaining the integrity of the proteome which is essential for regulating multiple fundamental processes such as cell cycle progression, transcription, metabolism, and stress response. To tightly regulate these processes proteins must be expressed and degraded in the correct location and at the correct time. The cell employs several proteolysis mechanisms to ensure that proteins are selectively degraded at the appropriate spatiotemporal conditions. SNXs play a role in ubiquitin-mediated protein homeostasis at multiple levels including cargo localization, recycling, degradation, and function. In this review, we will discuss the role of SNXs in three different protein homeostasis systems: endocytosis lysosomal, the ubiquitin-proteasomal, and the autophagy-lysosomal system. The highly conserved nature of this protein family by beginning with the early research on SNXs and protein trafficking in yeast and lead into their important roles in mammalian systems. -
Structural and Functional Insights Into Sorting Nexin 5/6 Interaction with Bacterial Effector Ince
OPEN Citation: Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (2017) 2, e17030; doi:10.1038/sigtrans.2017.30 www.nature.com/sigtrans ARTICLE Structural and functional insights into sorting nexin 5/6 interaction with bacterial effector IncE Qingxiang Sun1,5, Xin Yong1,2,5, Xiaodong Sun3,5, Fan Yang1,2,5, Zhonghua Dai4, Yanqiu Gong1, Liming Zhou3, Xia Zhang1, Dawen Niu1, Lunzhi Dai1, Jia-Jia Liu4 and Da Jia1,2 The endosomal trafficking pathways are essential for many cellular activities. They are also important targets by many intracellular pathogens. Key regulators of the endosomal trafficking include the retromer complex and sorting nexins (SNXs). Chlamydia trachomatis effector protein IncE directly targets the retromer components SNX5 and SNX6 and suppresses retromer-mediated transport, but the exact mechanism has remained unclear. We present the crystal structure of the PX domain of SNX5 in complex with IncE, showing that IncE binds to a highly conserved hydrophobic groove of SNX5. The unique helical hairpin of SNX5/6 is essential for binding, explaining the specificity of SNX5/6 for IncE. The SNX5/6–IncE interaction is required for cellular localization of IncE and its inhibitory function. Mechanistically, IncE inhibits the association of CI-MPR cargo with retromer-containing endosomal subdomains. Our study provides new insights into the regulation of retromer-mediated transport and illustrates the intricate competition between host and pathogens in controlling cellular trafficking.

The translational machinery can be recruited by malignant cells to synthesize proteins required to promote their survival, even in times of high physiological and pathological stress. This phenomenon has been described in several cancers including in gliomas. Abnormal regulation of translation has encouraged the development of new therapeutics targeting the protein synthesis pathway. This approach could be meaningful for glioma given the fact that the median survival following diagnosis of the highest grade of glioma remains short despite current therapy. The identification of new targets for the development of novel therapeutics is therefore needed in order to improve this devastating overall survival rate. This review discusses current literature on translation in gliomas with a focus on the initiation step covering both the cap-dependent and cap-independent modes of initiation. -

Cullen1 1School of Biochemistry and 2Proteomics Facility, School of Biochemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol, England, UK Endosomal recycling of transmembrane proteins requires sequence-dependent recognition of motifs present within their intracellular cytosolic domains. In this study, we have reexamined the role of retromer in the sequence-dependent endo- some-to–trans-Golgi network (TGN) transport of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR). Al- though the knockdown or knockout of retromer does not perturb CI-MPR transport, the targeting of the retromer-linked sorting nexin (SNX)–Bin, Amphiphysin, and Rvs (BAR) proteins leads to a pronounced defect in CI-MPR endosome-to-TGN transport. -
Phosphorylation and Signal Transduction Pathways in Translational Control
Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Phosphorylation and Signal Transduction Pathways in Translational Control Christopher G. Proud Nutrition & Metabolism, South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute, North Terrace, Adelaide SA5000, Australia; and School of Biological Sciences, University of Adelaide, Adelaide SA5000, Australia Correspondence: [email protected] Protein synthesis, including the translation of specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs), is regulated by extracellular stimuli such as hormones and by the levels of certain nutrients within cells. This control involves several well-understood signaling pathways and protein kinases, which regulate the phosphorylation of proteins that control the translational machinery. These path- ways include the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), its downstream effectors, and the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (extracellular ligand-regulated kinase [ERK]) signaling pathway. This review describes the regulatory mechanisms that control translation initiation and elongation factors, in particular the effects of phosphoryla- tion on their interactions or activities. It also discusses current knowledge concerning the impact of these control systems on the translation of specific mRNAs or subsets of mRNAs, both in physiological processes and in diseases such as cancer. he control of protein synthesis plays key roles Accordingly, sophisticated control mecha- Tin cell growth and proliferation and in nisms exist to allow extracellular stimuli (e.g., many other processes, via shaping the cellular hormones, growth factors), intracellular metab- proteome. The importance of translational con- olites (essential amino acids, nucleotides) and trol is underscored, for example, by the lack of cues, such as energy status, to regulate protein concordance between the transcriptome and the synthesis. -

Read Full License Page 1/29 Abstract Background: Aberrant expression of SNX5 can contribute to tumourigenesis, invasion, and metastasis of several human cancers. However, the clinicopathological and biological signicance of SNX5 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the role of SNX5 in the progression of ccRCC. Methods: Immunohistochemical (IHC), Western blot, qRT-PCR, western blot, ow cytometry and immunouorescence were used to detect the expression of indicated molecules. The biological role of SNX5 in ccRCC cells was evaluated by CCK8, colony formation, transwell assay, subcutaneous tumor formation as well as veil tail injection. ChIP assay and luciferase reporter assay were used to determine the direct binding of KLF9 to the promoter of the SNX5 gene. Results: SNX5 expression was downregulated in human ccRCC tissues. -
