Repressor fusions as a tool to study protein–protein interactions [PDF]

Structure, 1995
Genetic reporter systems are necessarily limited in the kinds of information they can provide. The most obvious limitation is that the insides of cells are complex. The phenotype of a gene fusion protein will be determined not only by the property we wish to assay, but also by other effects of the intracellular environment on the chimeric gene product,

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

The c1 repressor of bacteriophage P1 operator-repressor interaction of wild-type and mutant repressor proteins.

Nucleic acids research, 1989
The c1 repressor gene of bacteriophage P1 and the temperature-sensitive mutants P1c1.100 and P1c1.162 was cloned into an expression vector and the repressor proteins were overproduced. A rapid purification procedure was required for the isolation of the thermolabile repressor proteins.

Analysis of Rice Proteins with DLN Repressor Motif/S [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Transcriptional regulation includes both activation and repression of downstream genes. In plants, a well-established class of repressors are proteins with an ERF-associated amphiphilic repression/EAR domain. They contain either DLNxxP or LxLxL as the identifying hexapeptide motif. In rice (Oryza sativa), we have identified a total of 266 DLN repressor

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

PCGF5 is required for neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Nature Communications, 2018
Polycomb-group proteins are key regulators of transcriptional programs that maintain cell identity. Here the authors provide evidence that PCGF5, a subunit of Polycomb Repressor Complex 1, is important for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem ...

Class IIa HDACs forced degradation allows resensitization of oxaliplatin‐resistant FBXW7‐mutated colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
HDAC4 is degraded by the E3 ligase FBXW7. In colorectal cancer, FBXW7 mutations prevent HDAC4 degradation, leading to oxaliplatin resistance. Forced degradation of HDAC4 using a PROTAC compound restores drug sensitivity by resetting the super‐enhancer landscape, reprogramming the epigenetic state of FBXW7‐mutated cells to resemble oxaliplatin ...

Transcriptional silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: known unknowns

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Transcriptional silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a persistent and highly stable form of gene repression. It involves DNA silencers and repressor proteins that bind nucleosomes.

Cis‐regulatory and long noncoding RNA alterations in breast cancer – current insights, biomarker utility, and the critical need for functional validation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Arabidopsis PROTEASOME REGULATOR1 is required for auxin-mediated suppression of proteasome activity and regulates auxin signalling

Nature Communications, 2016
Plant responses to auxin require proteasome-mediated degradation of Aux/IAA transcriptional repressor proteins. Here, Yang et al. show that auxin suppresses proteasome activity in a manner dependent on the proteasome regulator PTRE1 and propose a ...
