  • Supplemental Information
    Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig.

  • Cytoplasmic E2f4 Forms Organizing Centres for Initiation of Centriole Amplification During Multiciliogenesis
    ARTICLE Received 13 Feb 2017 | Accepted 8 May 2017 | Published 4 Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15857 OPEN Cytoplasmic E2f4 forms organizing centres for initiation of centriole amplification during multiciliogenesis Munemasa Mori1, Renin Hazan2, Paul S. Danielian2, John E. Mahoney1,w, Huijun Li1, Jining Lu1, Emily S. Miller2, Xueliang Zhu3, Jacqueline A. Lees2 & Wellington V. Cardoso1 Abnormal development of multiciliated cells is a hallmark of a variety of human conditions associated with chronic airway diseases, hydrocephalus and infertility. Multiciliogenesis requires both activation of a specialized transcriptional program and assembly of cytoplasmic structures for large-scale centriole amplification that generates basal bodies. It remains unclear, however, what mechanism initiates formation of these multiprotein complexes in epithelial progenitors. Here we show that this is triggered by nucleocytoplasmic translocation of the transcription factor E2f4. After inducing a transcriptional program of centriole biogenesis, E2f4 forms apical cytoplasmic organizing centres for assembly and nucleation of deuterosomes. Using genetically altered mice and E2F4 mutant proteins we demonstrate that centriole amplification is crucially dependent on these organizing centres and that, without cytoplasmic E2f4, deuterosomes are not assembled, halting multiciliogenesis. Thus, E2f4 integrates nuclear and previously unsuspected cytoplasmic events of centriole amplification, providing new perspectives for the understanding of normal ciliogenesis, ciliopathies and cancer. 1 Columbia Center for Human Development, Department of Medicine, Pulmonary Allergy Critical Care, Columbia University Medical Center, New York City, New York 10032, USA. 2 David H.

  • CEP63 Deficiency Promotes P53-Dependent Microcephaly and Reveals a Role for the Centrosome in Meiotic Recombination

Stracker1 CEP63 is a centrosomal protein that facilitates centriole duplication and is regulated by the DNA damage response. Mutations in CEP63 cause Seckel syndrome, a human disease characterized by microcephaly and dwarfism. Here we demonstrate that Cep63-deficient mice recapitulate Seckel syndrome pathology. The attrition of neural progenitor cells involves p53-dependent cell death, and brain size is rescued by the deletion of p53. Cell death is not the result of an aberrant DNA damage response but is triggered by centrosome-based mitotic errors. In addition, Cep63 loss severely impairs meiotic recombination, leading to profound male infertility. Cep63-deficient spermatocytes display numerical and structural centrosome aberrations, chromosome entanglements and defective telomere clustering, suggesting that a reduction in centrosome-mediated chromosome movements underlies recombination failure. Our results provide novel insight into the molecular pathology of microcephaly and establish a role for the centrosome in meiotic recombination. 1 Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), Barcelona 08028, Spain. 2 Division of Molecular Medicine, Rud–er Bosˇkovic´ Institute, Zagreb 10000, Croatia. 3 Departamento de Biologı´a, Edificio de Biolo´gicas, Universidad Auto´noma de Madrid, Madrid 28049, Spain.

  • The Evolutionary Conserved FOXJ1 Target Gene Fam183b Is Essential for Motile Cilia in Xenopus but Dispensable for Ciliary Functi
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The evolutionary conserved FOXJ1 target gene Fam183b is essential for motile cilia in Xenopus but Received: 16 April 2018 Accepted: 20 September 2018 dispensable for ciliary function in Published: xx xx xxxx mice Anja Beckers1, Tim Ott2, Karin Schuster-Gossler1, Karsten Boldt3, Leonie Alten1, Marius Uefng3, Martin Blum2 & Achim Gossler 1 The transcription factor FOXJ1 is essential for the formation of motile cilia throughout the animal kingdom. Target genes therefore likely constitute an important part of the motile cilia program. Here, we report on the analysis of one of these targets, Fam183b, in Xenopus and mice. Fam183b encodes a protein with unknown function which is conserved from the green algae Chlamydomonas to humans. Fam183b is expressed in tissues harbouring motile cilia in both mouse and frog embryos. FAM183b protein localises to basal bodies of cilia in mIMCD3 cells and of multiciliated cells of the frog larval epidermis. In addition, FAM183b interacts with NUP93, which also localises to basal bodies. During frog embryogenesis, Fam183b was dispensable for laterality specifcation and brain development, but required for ciliogenesis and motility of epidermal multiciliated cells and nephrostomes, i.e. the embryonic kidney. Surprisingly, mice homozygous for a null allele did not display any defects indicative of disrupted motile ciliary function. The lack of a cilia phenotype in mouse and the limited requirements in frog contrast with high sequence conservation and the correlation of gene expression with the presence of motile cilia. This fnding may be explained through compensatory mechanisms at sites where no defects were observed in our FAM183b-loss-of-function studies.

  • Multicilin Drives Centriole Biogenesis Via E2f Proteins
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 26, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Multicilin drives centriole biogenesis via E2f proteins Lina Ma,1 Ian Quigley,1 Heymut Omran,2 and Chris Kintner1,3 1The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla 92037, California, USA; 2Department of Pediatrics, University Hospital Muenster, 48149 Muenster; Germany Multiciliate cells employ hundreds of motile cilia to produce fluid flow, which they nucleate and extend by first assembling hundreds of centrioles. In most cells, entry into the cell cycle allows centrioles to undergo a single round of duplication, but in differentiating multiciliate cells, massive centriole assembly occurs in G0 by a process initiated by a small coiled-coil protein, Multicilin. Here we show that Multicilin acts by forming a ternary complex with E2f4 or E2f5 and Dp1 that binds and activates most of the genes required for centriole biogenesis, while other cell cycle genes remain off. This complex also promotes the deuterosome pathway of centriole biogenesis by activating the expression of deup1 but not its paralog, cep63. Finally, we show that this complex is disabled by mutations in human Multicilin that cause a severe congenital mucociliary clearance disorder due to reduced generation of multiple cilia. By coopting the E2f regulation of cell cycle genes, Multicilin drives massive centriole assembly in epithelial progenitors in a manner required for multiciliate cell differentiation.

China Received November 8, 2020; Accepted June 30, 2021 DOI: 10.3892/or.2021.8150 Abstract. The present study was designed to observe the Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common patholog‑ expression of the centrosomal protein 63 in papillary thyroid ical type and accounts for approximately 70‑80% of all thyroid cancer (PTC) tissues and cells and to explore the clinical cancers (2‑5). Most PTCs can be treated with thyroid surgery significance of Cep63 expression in PTC. Primary PTC alone or combined with radioactive iodine therapy. Although tissues and matched normal thyroid tissues were collected, numerous genetic changes have been revealed in thyroid and the Cep63 expression level was determined by reverse cancer, the molecular mechanism of PTC progression has not transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. A stable been fully studied. Therefore, further study of the mechanism Cep63‑knockout cell line was constructed to assess the prolif‑ by which PTC occurs and develops is urgently needed. eration, invasion, migration and apoptosis abilities in vitro. A Centrosomes are the microtubule‑organizing centers subcutaneous tumorigenesis model was established in nude of animal cells that ensure normal behavior of chromo‑ mice to evaluate the effect of Cep63 on tumor growth and somes during mitosis, so their number must be precisely proliferation in vivo.
