The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathways regulate diverse biological processes, including the immune and inflammatory response, cell growth, apoptosis, and tumor formation. Not surprisingly therefore defects to either pathway contribute to the progression of numerous human disorders. Enhancing our understanding of the mechanisms that control signaling through these pathways is therefore significant as it may enable development of specific treatments. In this regard, CYLD was recently identified as a negative regulator of NF-κB and JNK signaling. CYLD has a C-terminal catalytic domain characteristic of deubiquitinating enzymes, and this is essential for CYLD to remove ubiquitin from certain proteins that positively mediate signaling through the NF-κB and JNK pathways. Recent studies have revealed a requirement for CYLD in many different processes and have provided some insight into the underlying mechanisms. 相似文献

The cylindromatosis (CYLD) gene is mutated in human tumors of skin appendages. It encodes a deubiquitylating enzyme (CYLD) that is a negative regulator of the NF-kappaB and JNK signaling pathways, in vitro. However, the tissue-specific function and regulation of CYLD in vivo are poorly understood. We established a genetically tractable animal model to initiate a systematic investigation of these issues by characterizing an ortholog of CYLD in Drosophila. Drosophila CYLD is broadly expressed during development and, in adult animals, is localized in the fat body, ovaries, testes, digestive tract and specific areas of the nervous system. We demonstrate that the protein product of Drosophila CYLD (CYLD), like its mammalian counterpart, is a deubiquitylating enzyme. Impairment of CYLD expression is associated with altered fat body morphology in adult flies, increased triglyceride levels and increased survival under starvation conditions. Furthermore, flies with compromised CYLD expression exhibited reduced resistance to bacterial infections. All mutant phenotypes described were reversible upon conditional expression of CYLD transgenes. Our results implicate CYLD in a broad range of functions associated with fat homeostasis and host defence in Drosophila. 相似文献

Active NF-kappaB renders malignant hepatocytes refractory to the growth inhibitory and pro-apoptotic properties of transforming growth factorbeta1 (TGF-beta1). NF-kappaB counteracts TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of downstream target genes, such as XIAP and Bcl-X(L), which in turn inhibit the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. In addition, induction of NF-kappaB by TGF-beta1 inhibits JNK signaling, thereby attenuating TGF-beta1-induced cell death of normal hepatocytes. However, the mechanism involved in the negative cross-talk between the NF-kappaB and JNK pathways during TGF-beta1 signaling has not been determined. In this study, we have identified the XIAP gene as one of the critical mediators of NF-kappaB-mediated suppression of JNK signaling. We show that NF-kappaB plays a role in the up-regulation of XIAP gene expression in response to TGF-beta1 treatment and forms a TGF-beta1-inducible complex with TAK1. Furthermore, we show that the RING domain of XIAP mediates TAK1 polyubiquitination, which then targets this molecule for proteosomal degradation. Down-regulation of TAK1 protein expression inhibits TGF-beta1-mediated activation of JNK and apoptosis. Conversely, silencing of XIAP promotes persistent JNK activation and potentiates TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis. Collectively, our findings identify a novel mechanism for the regulation of JNK activity by NF-kappaB during TGF-beta1 signaling and raise the possibility that pharmacologic inhibition of the NF-kappaB/XIAP signaling pathway might selectively abolish the pro-oncogenic activity of TGF-beta1 in advanced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) without affecting the pro-apoptotic effects of TGF-beta1 involved in normal liver homeostasis. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor CYLD antagonizes NF-kappaB and JNK signaling by disassembly of Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains synthesized in response to cytokine stimulation. Here we describe the crystal structure of the CYLD USP domain, revealing a distinctive architecture that provides molecular insights into its specificity toward Lys63-linked polyubiquitin. We identify regions of the USP domain responsible for this specificity and demonstrate endodeubiquitinase activity toward such chains. Pathogenic truncations of the CYLD C terminus, associated with the hypertrophic skin tumor cylindromatosis, disrupt the USP domain, accounting for loss of CYLD catalytic activity. A small zinc-binding B box domain, similar in structure to other crossbrace Zn-binding folds--including the RING domain found in E3 ubiquitin ligases--is inserted within the globular core of the USP domain. Biochemical and functional characterization of the B box suggests a role as a protein-interaction module that contributes to determining the subcellular localization of CYLD. 相似文献

Tumor suppressor cylindromatosis protein (CYLD), which specifically cleaves lysine 63-linked ubiquitin chain from its substrate molecules, contributes to myriad of important cellular events including cellular differentiation, oncogenesis, DNA repair and cell cycle control. It is a ubiquitously expressed protein, which negatively regulates NF-kB and JNK signaling pathways and mediates caspase dependent apoptosis through RIP1 deubiqutination. Germline mutations in CYLD are associated with a rare, hypertrophic skin cancer, termed Familial Cylindromatosis. Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer database ensembles accumulating CYLD point mutations in multiple benign and malignant tumors. However, the functional role of CYLD mutations and their association with cancer progression remains elusive. In the present report, we have shown that cancer associated mutations impose structural alteration in CYLD which impairs its binding to K63 ubiquitin chain. Here, we conclude that loss of CYLD catalytic activity potentiates its oncogenic gain of function through increased cell survival and migration. 相似文献

CYLD: a DUB with many talents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The deubiquitinating enzyme CYLD is a tumor suppressor protein known for its role in repression of generally pro-oncogenic NF-kappaB activation pathways. Two new studies published in this and the September issue of Developmental Cell show that CYLD dismantles distinct types of polyubiquitin chains formed on select signaling proteins and is thereby required for normal vertebrate and invertebrate development. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional cytokine that induces a broad spectrum of responses including angiogenesis. Angiogenesis promoted by TNF-alpha is mediated, at least in part, by ephrin A1, a member of the ligand family for Eph receptor tyrosine kinases. Although TNF-alpha induces ephrin A1 expression in endothelial cells, the signaling pathways mediating ephrin A1 induction remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the signaling mechanisms of TNF-alpha-dependent induction of ephrin A1 in endothelial cells. Both TNFR1 and TNFR2 appear to be involved in regulating ephrin A1 expression in endothelial cells, because neutralizing antibodies to either TNFR1 or TNFR2 inhibited TNF-alpha-induced ephrin A1 expression. Inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation by a trans-dominant inhibitory isoform of mutant IkappaBalpha did not affect ephrin A1 induction, suggesting that NF-kappaB proteins are not major regulators of ephrin A1 expression. In contrast, ephrin A1 induction was blocked by inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) or SAPK/JNK, but not p42/44 MAPK, using either selective chemical inhibitors or dominant-negative forms of p38 MAPK or TNF receptor-associated factor 2. These findings indicate that TNF-alpha-induced ephrin A1 expression is mediated through JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Taken together, the results of our study demonstrated that induction of ephrin A1 in endothelial cells by TNF-alpha is mediated through both p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK, but not p42/44 MAPK or NF-kappaB, pathways. 相似文献

CYLD is a gene mutated in familial cylindromatosis and related diseases, leading to the development of skin appendages tumors. Although the deubiquitinase CYLD is a skin tumor suppressor, its role in skin physiology is unknown. Using skin organotypic cultures as experimental model to mimic human skin, we have found that CYLD acts as a regulator of epidermal differentiation in humans through the JNK signaling pathway. We have determined the requirement of CYLD for the maintenance of epidermal polarity, keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis. We show that CYLD overexpression increases keratinocyte differentiation while CYLD loss of function impairs epidermal differentiation. In addition, we describe the important role of CYLD in the control of human non-melanoma skin cancer progression. Our results show the reversion of the malignancy of human squamous cell carcinomas that express increased levels of CYLD, while its functional inhibition enhances the aggressiveness of these tumors which progress toward spindle cell carcinomas. We have found that the mechanisms through which CYLD regulates skin cancer progression include the control of tumor differentiation, angiogenesis and cell survival. These findings of the role of CYLD in human skin cancer prognosis make our results relevant from a therapeutic point of view, and open new avenues for exploring novel cancer therapies. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily receptors typically induce both NF-kappaB and JNK activation by recruiting the TRAF2 signal transduction protein to their cytoplasmic domain. The type 2 TNF receptor (TNFR2), however, is a poor activator of these signaling pathways despite its high TRAF2 binding capability. This apparent paradox is resolved here by the demonstration that TNFR2 carries a novel carboxyl-terminal TRAF2-binding site (T2bs-C) that prevents the delivery of activation signals from its conventional TRAF2-binding site (T2bs-N). T2bs-C does not conform to canonical TRAF2 binding motifs and appears to bind TRAF2 indirectly via an as yet unidentified intermediary. Specific inactivation of T2bs-N by site-directed mutagenesis eliminated most of the TRAF2 recruited to the TNFR2 cytoplasmic domain but had no effect on ligand-dependent activation of the NF-kappaB or JNK pathways. By contrast, inactivation of T2bs-C had little effect on the amount of TRAF2 recruited but greatly enhanced ligand-dependent NF-kappaB and JNK activation. In wild-type TNFR2 therefore, T2bs-C acts in a dominant fashion to attenuate signaling by the intrinsically more active T2bs-N but not by preventing TRAF2 recruitment. This unique uncoupling of TRAF2 recruitment and signaling at T2bs-N may be important in the modulation by TNFR2 of signaling through coexpressed TNFR1. 相似文献

Small molecules that modulate specific protein functions are valuable tools for dissecting complex signaling pathways. Here, we identified a small molecule that induces the assembly of the interferon-beta (IFN-beta) enhanceosome by stimulating all the enhancer-binding activator proteins: ATF2/c-JUN, IRF3, and p50/p65 of NF-kappaB. This compound stimulates mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MEKK1), which is a member of a family of proteins involved in stress-mediated signaling pathways. Consistent with this, MEKK1 activates IRF3 in addition to ATF2/c-JUN and NF-kappaB for the assembly of the IFN-beta enhanceosome. MEKK1 activates IRF3 through the c-JUN amino-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway but not the p38 and IkappaB kinase (IKK) pathway. Taken together with previous observations, these results implicate that, for the assembly of an IFN-beta enhanceosome, MEKK1 can induce IRF3 and ATF2/c-JUN through the JNK pathway, whereas it can induce NF-kappaB through the IKK pathway. Thus, specific MEKK family proteins may be able to integrate some of multiple signal transduction pathways leading to the specific activation of the IFN-beta enhanceosome. 相似文献

Uncoupling of the signaling and caspase-inhibitory properties of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

In addition to its well described function as an enzymatic inhibitor of specific caspases, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (X-linked IAP or XIAP) can function as a cofactor in Smad, NF-kappaB, and JNK signaling pathways. However, caspases themselves have been shown to regulate the activity of a number of signaling cascades, raising the possibility that the effect of XIAP in these pathways is indirect. Here we examine this question by introducing point mutations in XIAP predicted to disrupt the ability of the molecule to bind to and inhibit caspases. We show that whereas these mutant variants of XIAP lost caspase-inhibitory activity, they maintained their ability to activate Smad, NF-kappaB, and JNK signaling pathways. Indeed, the signaling properties of the molecule were mapped to domains not directly involved in caspase binding and inhibition. The activation of NF-kappaB by XIAP was dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of the RING domain. On the other hand, the ability of XIAP to activate Smad-dependent signaling was mapped to the third baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) and loop regions of the molecule. Thus, the anti-apoptotic and signaling properties of XIAP can be uncoupled. 相似文献

CYLD is a lysine 63-deubiquitinating enzyme that inhibits NF-κB and JNK signaling. Here, we show that CYLD knock-out mice have markedly increased numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in peripheral lymphoid organs but not in the thymus. In vitro stimulation of CYLD-deficient naive T cells with anti-CD3/28 in the presence of TGF-β led to a marked increase in the number of Foxp3-expressing T cells when compared with stimulated naive control CD4(+) cells. Under endogenous conditions, CYLD formed a complex with Smad7 that facilitated CYLD deubiquitination of Smad7 at lysine 360 and 374 residues. Moreover, this site-specific ubiquitination of Smad7 was required for activation of TAK1 and p38 kinases. Finally, knockdown of Smad7 or inhibition of p38 activity in primary T cells impaired Treg differentiation. Together, our results show that CYLD regulates TGF-β signaling function in T cells and the development of Tregs through deubiquitination of Smad7. 相似文献
