Regulation of SCF Ubiquitin Ligases by Jab1/Csn5 and the Cop9 Signalosome [PDF]

, 2006
SCF ubiquitin ligases regulate the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of a myriad of substrate proteins, including p27, Cyclin E, and IkBa. To further gain insight into SCF regulation and function, we purified SCF from mammalian cells and found the Cop9 ...

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Endosomal Rab cycles regulate Parkin-mediated mitophagy

eLife, 2018
Damaged mitochondria are selectively eliminated by mitophagy. Parkin and PINK1, gene products mutated in familial Parkinson’s disease, play essential roles in mitophagy through ubiquitination of mitochondria.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

The endonuclease Cue2 cleaves mRNAs at stalled ribosomes during No Go Decay

eLife, 2019
Translation of problematic sequences in mRNAs leads to ribosome collisions that trigger a series of quality control events including ribosome rescue, degradation of the stalled nascent polypeptide, and targeting of the mRNA for decay (No Go Decay or NGD).

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Biochemical and functional analysis of the ubiquitin binding properties of the NF-κB regulator NEMO [PDF]

, 2013
Many types of ubiquitin chains can modify several proteins at the activated TNFR. Additionally many UBD-containing ubiquitin receptors localise there to mediate the signal constituted by these chains.

Targeting transcription factors associated with hemoglobinopathies: Lessons from successful interventions and implications for cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the transcription factors, repressive chromatin‐modifying complexes, and epigenetic mechanisms that control fetal hemoglobin repression. Notably, many regulators of γ‐globin silencing also function in transcriptional and epigenetic networks that drive cancer, highlighting opportunities to translate advances in hemoglobinopathy ...

Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-Like Proteins in Protein Regulation [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2007
The discovery of the ubiquitin system was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2004. Labeling of intracellular proteins for degradation by a multienzymatic complex, called the proteasome, was identified as the main function of this system. Subsequently, it was discovered that the attachment of ubiquitin to proteins can modify their function ...
