Fun30 is a Swi2/Snf2 homolog in budding yeast that has been shown to remodel chromatin both in vitro and in vivo. We report that Fun30 plays a key role in homologous recombination, by facilitating 5′-to-3′ resection of double-strand break (DSB) ends, apparently by facilitating exonuclease digestion of nucleosome-bound DNA adjacent to the DSB. Fun30 is recruited to an HO endonuclease-induced DSB and acts in both the Exo1-dependent and Sgs1-dependent resection pathways. Deletion of FUN30 slows the rate of 5′-to-3′ resection from 4 kb/h to about 1.2 kb/h. We also found that the resection rate is reduced by DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of histone H2A-S129 (γ-H2AX) and that Fun30 interacts preferentially with nucleosomes in which H2A-S129 is not phosphorylated. Fun30 is not required for later steps in homologous recombination. Like its homolog Rdh54/Tid1, Fun30 is required to allow the adaptation of DNA damage checkpoint-arrested cells with an unrepaired DSB to resume cell cycle progression. 相似文献

The precise segregation of chromosomes is critical for the proliferation and development of living organisms. Defects in this process can result in tumorigenesis and hereditary diseases. The four-subunit cohesin complex plays an essential role in chromosome segregation and genome integrity. Recently, we reported that the association of cohesin with centromeres and chromosome arms is differentially regulated by the ATP-dependent RSC chromatin-remodeling complex. Here, we propose two models to explain why the cell should have evolved special mechanisms for centromeric and sister arm cohesion and why RSC differentially regulates these processes. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is implicated in several pathologies such as AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, as well as in normal aging. As a model system to study the response of cells to oxidative insults, glutamate toxicity on a mouse nerve cell line, HT-22, was examined. Glutamate exposure kills HT-22 via a nonreceptor-mediated oxidative pathway by blocking cystine uptake and causing depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH), leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and, ultimately, apoptotic cell death. Several HT-22 subclones that are 10-fold resistant to exogenous glutamate were isolated and the mechanisms involved in resistance characterized. The expression levels of neither heat shock proteins nor apoptosis-related proteins are changed in the resistant cells. In contrast, the antioxidant enzyme catalase, but not glutathione peroxidase nor superoxide dismutase, is more highly expressed in the resistant than in the parental cells. In addition, the resistant cells have enhanced rates of GSH regeneration due to higher activities of the GSH metabolic enzymes γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and GSH reductase, and GSH S-transferases activities are also elevated. As a consequence of these alterations, the glutamate resistant cells are also more resistant to organic hydroperoxides and anticancer drugs that affect these GSH enzymes. These results indicate that resistance to apoptotic oxidative stress may be acquired by coordinated changes in multiple antioxidant pathways. 相似文献

Stathmin 1 performs a critical function in cell proliferation by regulating microtubule polymerization. This proliferative function is thought to explain the frequent overexpression of stathmin in human cancer and its correlation with a bad prognosis. Whether stathmin also functions in cell death pathways is unclear. Stathmin regulates microtubules in part by binding free tubulin, a process inhibited by stathmin phosphorylation from kinases including c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). The involvement of JNK activation both in stathmin phosphorylation, and in hepatocellular resistance to oxidative stress, led to an examination of the role of stathmin/JNK crosstalk in oxidant-induced hepatocyte death. Oxidative stress from menadione-generated superoxide induced JNK-dependent stathmin phosphorylation at Ser-16, Ser-25 and Ser-38 in hepatocytes. A stathmin knockdown sensitized hepatocytes to both apoptotic and necrotic cell death from menadione without altering levels of oxidant generation. The absence of stathmin during oxidative stress led to JNK overactivation that was the mechanism of cell death as a concomitant knockdown of JNK1 or JNK2 blocked death. Hepatocyte death from JNK overactivation was mediated by the effects of JNK on mitochondria. Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization occurred in stathmin knockdown cells at low concentrations of menadione that triggered apoptosis, whereas mitochondrial β-oxidation and ATP homeostasis were compromised at higher, necrotic menadione concentrations. Stathmin therefore mediates hepatocyte resistance to death from oxidative stress by down regulating JNK and maintaining mitochondrial integrity. These findings demonstrate a new mechanism by which stathmin promotes cell survival and potentially tumor growth. 相似文献

Dof(DNA-binding with one finger)转录因子是植物中特有的一类转录因子,是锌指蛋白家族中的一个具有众多成员的家族,氨基酸长度一般在200~400,含有非常保守的N端和较为多变的C端。已有研究表明,Dof转录因子家族在参与植物发育的多种生理途径和调节碳氮代谢、增加氮素的吸收与利用,提高植株抗逆能力中起着重要作用。为了探究小黑杨(Populus simonii×P.nigra)中Dof30基因的抗逆能力,本研究以转基因PnDof30拟南芥为研究对象,对干旱、盐和渗透胁迫后过表达PnDof30拟南芥株系L2和野生型拟南芥WT的生理指标进行比较。发现胁迫后拟南芥株系L2的种子萌发率、根长和鲜重等指标均高于WT;同时SOD、POD、脯氨酸含量高于WT,叶绿素和MDA含量下降;胁迫后L2中的PnDof30基因表达量显著提高。这些结果表明了PnDof30基因具有抗旱、耐盐和渗透胁迫的能力,对全面了解Dof转录因子的抗逆胁迫功能具有重要的意义。 相似文献
