  • SENP Proteases As Potential Targets for Cancer Therapy
    cancers Review SENP Proteases as Potential Targets for Cancer Therapy Paulina Tokarz * and Katarzyna Wo´zniak Department of Molecular Genetics, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Lodz, Pomorska 141/143, 90-236 Lodz, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-42-635-48-15; Fax: +48-42-635-44-84 Simple Summary: Post-translational modification—the biochemical addition of functional groups or proteins—occurs following protein biosynthesis and contributes to an increase in the functional diversity of the proteome. Post-translational modifications include SUMOylation—the covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins to substrate proteins. SUMOylation is a reversible modification, which is erased by SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs). Deregulation of SENPs leads to cellular dysfunction and is associated with various diseases, including cancer. The role of SENPs in cancer pathogenesis is expected, and thus these proteins are considered promising targets for drug design and development. In this review, we will discuss the role of SENPs, focusing on DNA repair and the cell cycle—cellular pathways malfunctioning in most cancer cells—and provide an update on advances in the development of SENP-oriented inhibitors. Abstract: SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) involving a covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins to substrate proteins. SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs) are cysteine proteases with isopeptidase activity facilitating the de-conjugation of SUMO proteins and thus participating in maintaining the balance between the pools of SUMOylated and unSUMOylated proteins and in SUMO recycling. Several studies have reported that SENPs’ aberrant expression is associated with the development and progression of cancer.

  • Regulation of Bcl11b by Post-Translational Modifications
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Xiao Liu for the degree of Master of Science in Pharmacy presented on June 3, 2011. Title: REGULATION OF BCL11B BY POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS. Abstract approved Mark E. Leid Bcl11b (B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11b), also known as Ctip2 (Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor (COUP-TF)-interacting protein 2), is a C2H2 zinc finger transcriptional regulatory protein, which is an essential protein for post-natal life in the mouse and plays crucial roles in the development, and presumably function, of several organ systems, including the central nervous, immune, craniofacial formation and cutaneous/skin systems. Moreover, inactivation of Bcl11b has been implicated in the etiology of lymphoid malignancies, suggesting that Bcl11b may function as a tumor suppressor. Bcl11b was originally identified as a protein that interacted directly with the orphan nuclear receptor COUP-TF2. Later studies revealed that this C2H2 zinc finger protein can bind DNA directly in a COUP-independent manner, and it has been studied mostly as a transcription repressor. In T cells, gene repression mediated by Bcl11b involves the recruitment of class I HDACs, HDAC1 and HDAC2, within the context of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation (NuRD) complex. The hypothesis that Bcl11b functions as a transcriptional repressor has been supported by transcriptome analyses in mouse T cells and human neuroblastoma cells. However, approximately one- third of the genes that were dysregulated in the double positive (DP) cells of Bcl11b-null mice were down-regulated relative to control T cells, suggesting that Bcl11b may act as a transcriptional activator in some promoter and/or cell contexts.

  • Dysregulation of Mitotic Machinery Genes Precedes Genome Instability
    The Author(s) BMC Genomics 2016, 17(Suppl 8):728 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-3068-5 RESEARCH Open Access Dysregulation of mitotic machinery genes precedes genome instability during spontaneous pre-malignant transformation of mouse ovarian surface epithelial cells Ulises Urzúa1*, Sandra Ampuero2, Katherine F. Roby3, Garrison A. Owens4,6 and David J. Munroe4,5 From 6th SolBio International Conference 2016 (SoIBio-IC&W-2016) Riviera Maya, Mexico. 22-26 April 2016 Abstract Background: Based in epidemiological evidence, repetitive ovulation has been proposed to play a role in the origin of ovarian cancer by inducing an aberrant wound rupture-repair process of the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Accordingly, long term cultures of isolated OSE cells undergo in vitro spontaneous transformation thus developing tumorigenic capacity upon extensive subcultivation. In this work, C57BL/6 mouse OSE (MOSE) cells were cultured up to passage 28 and their RNA and DNA copy number profiles obtained at passages 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 18, 23, 25 and 28 by means of DNA microarrays. Gene ontology, pathway and network analyses were focused in passages earlier than 20, which is a hallmark of malignancy in this model. Results: At passage 14, 101 genes were up-regulated in absence of significant DNA copy number changes. Among these, the top-3 enriched functions (>30 fold, adj p < 0.05) comprised 7 genes coding for centralspindlin, chromosome passenger and minichromosome maintenance protein complexes. The genes Ccnb1 (Cyclin B1), Birc5 (Survivin), Nusap1 and Kif23 were the most recurrent in over a dozen GO terms related to the mitotic process. On the other hand, Pten plus the large non-coding RNAs Malat1 and Neat1 were among the 80 down-regulated genes with mRNA processing, nuclear bodies, ER-stress response and tumor suppression as relevant terms.

CENP-A turns over slower than general chromatin and a key question is whether this unusual stability is intrinsic to CENP-A nucleosomes or rather imposed by external factors. We designed a specific genetic screen to identify proteins involved in CENP-A stability based on SNAP-tag pulse chase labeling. Using a double pulse-labeling approach we simultaneously assay for factors with selective roles in CENP-A chromatin assembly. We discover a series of new proteins involved in CENP-A propagation, including proteins with known roles in DNA replication, repair and chromatin modification and transcription, revealing that a broad set of chromatin regulators impacts in CENP-A transmission through the cell cycle.

  • SENP6 Rabbit Pab
    Leader in Biomolecular Solutions for Life Science SENP6 Rabbit pAb Catalog No.: A17673 Basic Information Background Catalog No. Ubiquitin-like molecules (UBLs), such as SUMO1 (UBL1; MIM 601912), are structurally A17673 related to ubiquitin (MIM 191339) and can be ligated to target proteins in a similar manner as ubiquitin. However, covalent attachment of UBLs does not result in Observed MW degradation of the modified proteins. SUMO1 modification is implicated in the targeting 126kDa of RANGAP1 (MIM 602362) to the nuclear pore complex, as well as in stabilization of I- kappa-B-alpha (NFKBIA; MIM 164008) from degradation by the 26S proteasome. Like Calculated MW ubiquitin, UBLs are synthesized as precursor proteins, with 1 or more amino acids following the C-terminal glycine-glycine residues of the mature UBL protein. Thus, the Category tail sequences of the UBL precursors need to be removed by UBL-specific proteases, such as SENP6, prior to their conjugation to target proteins (Kim et al., 2000 [PubMed Primary antibody 10799485]). SENPs also display isopeptidase activity for deconjugation of SUMO- conjugated substrates (Lima and Reverter, 2008 [PubMed 18799455]).[supplied by OMIM, Applications Jun 2009] WB Cross-Reactivity Rat Recommended Dilutions Immunogen Information WB 1:500 - 1:2000 Gene ID Swiss Prot 26054 Q9GZR1 Immunogen Recombinant fusion protein containing a sequence corresponding to amino acids 811-1112 of human SENP6 (NP_056386.2).

Introduction Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) are ubiquitin-related and Dasso, 2007). Ulp2p has been implicated in several aspects of proteins (Johnson, 2004). All newly synthesized SUMOs are chromosome segregation and cell cycle control (Mukhopadhyay posttranslationally processed by ubiquitin-like protein–specific and Dasso, 2007). Many phenotypes of ulp2 yeast are rescued proteases (Ulps)/sentrin-specific proteases (SENPs; Hay, 2007; by expression of smt3 mutants that are unable to form chains, Mukhopadhyay and Dasso, 2007).

  • Evolutionarily Conserved Genetic Interactions with Budding And
    Tosti et al. Genome Medicine 2014, 6:68 http://genomemedicine.com/content/6/9/68 RESEARCH Open Access Evolutionarily conserved genetic interactions with budding and fission yeast MutS identify orthologous relationships in mismatch repair-deficient cancer cells Elena Tosti1, Joseph A Katakowski2, Sonja Schaetzlein1, Hyun-Soo Kim1, Colm J Ryan3,4,5, Michael Shales3, Assen Roguev3, Nevan J Krogan3,4,6, Deborah Palliser2, Michael-Christopher Keogh1* and Winfried Edelmann1* Abstract Background: The evolutionarily conserved DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system corrects base-substitution and insertion-deletion mutations generated during erroneous replication. The mutation or inactivation of many MMR factors strongly predisposes to cancer, where the resulting tumors often display resistance to standard chemotherapeutics. A new direction to develop targeted therapies is the harnessing of synthetic genetic interactions, where the simultaneous loss of two otherwise non-essential factors leads to reduced cell fitness or death. High-throughput screening in human cells to directly identify such interactors for disease-relevant genes is now widespread, but often requires extensive case-by-case optimization. Here we asked if conserved genetic interactors (CGIs) with MMR genes from two evolutionary distant yeast species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyzes pombe)canpredict orthologous genetic relationships in higher eukaryotes. Methods: High-throughput screening was used to identify genetic interaction profiles for the MutSα and MutSβ heterodimer subunits (msh2Δ, msh3Δ, msh6Δ) of fission yeast. Selected negative interactors with MutSβ (msh2Δ/msh3Δ) were directly analyzed in budding yeast, and the CGI with SUMO-protease Ulp2 further examined after RNA interference/drug treatment in MSH2-deficient and -proficient human cells. Results: This study identified distinct genetic profiles for MutSα and MutSβ, and supports a role for the latter in recombinatorial DNA repair.
