The mammalian circadian clock proteins undergo a daily cycle of accumulation followed by phosphorylation and degradation. The mechanism by which clock proteins undergo degradation has not been fully understood. Circadian clock protein PERIOD2 (PER2) is shown to be the potential target of F-box protein beta-TrCP1, a component of ubiquitin E3 ligase. Here, we show that beta-TrCP2 as well as beta-TrCP1 target PER2 protein in vitro. We also identified beta-TrCP binding site (m2) of PER2 being recognized by both beta-TrCP1 and beta-TrCP2. Luciferase-PER2 fusion system revealed that m2 site was responsible for the stability of PER2. The role of beta-TrCP1 and beta-TrCP2 in circadian rhythm generation was analysed by real-time reporter assay revealing that siRNA-mediated suppressions of beta-TrCP1 and/or beta-TrCP2 attenuate circadian oscillations in NIH3T3 cell. beta-TrCP1-deficient mice, however, showed normal period length, light-induced phase-shift response in behaviour and normal expression of PER2, suggesting that beta-TrCP1 is dispensable for the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Our study indicates that beta-TrCP1 and beta-TrCP2 were involved in the cell autonomous circadian rhythm generation in culture cells, although the role of beta-TrCP2 in the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

This study identifies a novel mechanism by which thiazolidinediones mediate cyclin D1 repression in prostate cancer cells. Based on the finding that the thiazolidinedione family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists mediated PPARgamma-independent cyclin D1 degradation, we developed a novel PPARgamma-inactive troglitazone derivative, STG28, with high potency in cyclin D1 ablation. STG28-mediated cyclin D1 degradation was preceded by Thr-286 phosphorylation and nuclear export, which however, were independent of glycogen synthase kinase 3beta. Mutational analysis further confirmed the pivotal role of Thr-286 phosphorylation in STG28-induced nuclear export and proteolysis. Of several kinases examined, inhibition of IkappaB kinase alpha blocked STG28-mediated cytoplasmic sequestration and degradation of cyclin D1. Pulldown of ectopically expressed Cul1, the scaffold protein of the Skp-Cullin-F-box E3 ligase, in STG28-treated cells revealed an increased association of cyclin D1 with beta-TrCP, whereas no specific binding was noted with other F-box proteins examined, including Skp2, Fbw7, Fbx4, and Fbxw8. This finding represents the first evidence that cyclin D1 is targeted by beta-TrCP. Moreover, beta-TrCP expression was up-regulated in response to STG28, and ectopic expression and small interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of beta-TrCP enhanced and protected against STG28-facilitated cyclin D1 degradation, respectively. Because cyclin D1 lacks the DSG destruction motif, mutational and modeling analyses indicate that cyclin D1 was targeted by beta-TrCP through an unconventional recognition site, (279)EEVDLACpT(286), reminiscent to that of Wee1. Moreover, we obtained evidence that this beta-TrCP-dependent degradation takes part in controlling cyclin D1 turnover when cancer cells undergo glucose starvation, which endows physiological relevance to this novel mechanism. 相似文献

垂体瘤转化基因(PTTG1)在很多肿瘤中呈高水平表达.越来越多的研究表明,PTTG1与细胞增殖、细胞转化有关.但PTTG1在凋亡中的作用仍不清楚.通过在细胞中下调和过表达PTTG1,观察PTTG1在UV照射诱导凋亡中的作用.结果发现, RNAi-介导下调HeLa细胞PTTG1表达可增加对UV诱导凋亡的敏感性,而过表达PTTG1则降低对UV诱导凋亡的敏感性.此外,UV照射能降低PTTG1蛋白的表达水平,并且表现为明显的剂量和时间关系.这些研究结果显示,PTTG1在UV照射诱导的凋亡中发挥重要的抗凋亡作用.这为研究PTTG1在肿瘤发生、发展中的作用机制提供了新的实验证据. 相似文献

Pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG1) is widely detected in many tumors. Increasing evidence reveals that PTTG1 is associated with cell proliferation, cellular transformation and apoptosis. However, the functions of PTTG1, especially its role in DNA damage-induced apoptosis, remain largely unclear. In this report, we used UV irradiation to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells to examine the role of PTTG1 in UV-induced apoptosis by RNAi-mediated knockdown and overexpression of PTTG1. RNAi-mediated knockdown of PTTG1 expression increased and overexpression of PTTG1 decreased the UV-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, UV irradiation decreased PTTG1 mRNA and protein expression. These effects were found to be mediated by JNK pathway. Therefore, PTTG1 had an important anti-apoptotic role in UV-induced apoptosis and this role was mediated by JNK pathway. These results may provide important information for understanding the exact role and the regulation mechanism of PTTG1 in UV-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor protein, together with Axin and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta), forms a Wnt-regulated signaling complex that mediates phosphorylation-dependent degradation of cytoplasmic beta-catenin by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. Degradation of phosphorylated beta-catenin is initiated by interaction through the WD40-repeat of a F-box protein beta-TrCP, a component of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Mutations in APC, Axin, and beta-catenin that prevent down-regulation of cytoplasmic beta-catenin are found in various types of cancers. In the search for efficient treatment and prevention of malignancies associated with increased levels of cytoplasmic beta-catenin, we created chimeric F-box fusion proteins by replacing the WD40-repeat of beta-TrCP with the beta-catenin-binding domains of Tcf4 and E-cadherin. Expression of chimeric F-box fusion proteins successfully promotes degradation of beta-catenin independently of GSK-3beta-mediated phosphorylation. More importantly, this degradation does not require intact APC protein (pAPC). 相似文献

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), a malignancy of CD4(+) T cells whose etiology is thought to be associated with the viral trans-activator Tax. We have shown recently that Tax can drastically upregulate the expression of p27(Kip1) and p21(CIP1/WAF1) through protein stabilization and mRNA trans-activation and stabilization, respectively. The Tax-induced surge in p21(CIP1/WAF1) and p27(Kip1) begins in S phase and results in cellular senescence. Importantly, HeLa and SupT1 T cells infected by HTLV-1 also arrest in senescence, thus challenging the notion that HTLV-1 infection causes cell proliferation. Here we use time-lapse microscopy to investigate the effect of Tax on cell cycle progression in two reporter cell lines, HeLa/18x21-EGFP and HeLa-FUCCI, that express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of 18 copies of the Tax-responsive 21-bp repeat element and fluorescent ubiquitin cell cycle indicators, respectively. Tax-expressing HeLa cells exhibit elongated or stalled cell cycle phases. Many of them bypass mitosis and become single senescent cells as evidenced by the expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase. Such cells have twice the normal equivalent of cellular contents and hence are enlarged, with exaggerated nuclei. Interestingly, nocodazole treatment revealed a small variant population of HeLa/18x21-EGFP cells that could progress into mitosis normally with high levels of Tax expression, suggesting that genetic or epigenetic changes that prevent Tax-induced senescence can occur spontaneously at a detectable frequency. 相似文献

The discs large (hDlg) tumor suppressor is intimately involved in the control of cell contact, polarity, and proliferation by interacting with several components of the epithelial junctional complex and with the APC tumor suppressor protein. In epithelial cells, hDlg protein stability is regulated through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway: hDlg is actively degraded in isolated cells, whereas it accumulates upon cell-cell contact. During neoplastic transformation of epithelial cells, loss of the differentiated morphology and progression toward a metastatic phenotype correlate with down-regulation of hDlg levels and loss of contact-dependent stabilization. Here we show that upon hyperphosphorylation, hDlg interacts with the beta-TrCP ubiquitin ligase receptor through a DSGLPS motif within its Src homology 3 domain. As a consequence, overexpression of beta-TrCP enhances ubiquitination of Dlg protein and decreases its stability, whereas a dominant negative beta-TrCP mutant inhibits this process. Furthermore, a mutant Dlg protein that is unable to bind beta-TrCP displays a higher protein stability and is insensitive to beta-TrCP. Using RNA interference, we also demonstrate that endogenous beta-TrCP regulates hDlg protein levels in epithelial cells. Finally, we show that beta-TrCP selectively induces the degradation of the membrane-cytoplasmic pool, without affecting the nuclear pool of hDlg. 相似文献

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a severe malignancy usually producing a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported in association with CCA; however, the role miR-329 plays in the CCA condition still remains unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the underlying mechanism of which miR-329 is influencing the progression of CCA. This work studied the differential analysis of the expression chips of CCA obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Next, to determine both the expression and role of pituitary tumor transforming gene-1 (PTTG1) in CCA, the miRNAs regulating PTTG1 were predicted. In the CCA cells that had been intervened with miR-329 upregulation or inhibition, along with PTTG1 silencing, expression of miR-329, PTTG1, p-p38/p38, p-ERK5/ERK5, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Cyclin D1, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and caspase-3 were determined. The effects of both miR-329 and PTTG1 on cell proliferation, cell-cycle distribution, and apoptosis were also assayed. The miR-329 was likely to affect the CCA development through regulation of the PTTG1-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. The miR-329 targeted PTTG1, leading to inactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway. Upregulation of miR-329 and silencing of PTTG1 inhibited the CCA cell proliferation, induced cell-cycle arrest, and subsequently promoted apoptosis with elevations in Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and total caspase-3, but showed declines in PCNA, Cyclin D1, and Bcl-2. Moreover, miR-329 was also found to suppress the tumor growth by downregulation of PTTG1. To summarize, miR-329 inhibited the expression of PTTG1 to inactivate the MAPK signaling pathway, thus suppressing the CCA progression, thereby providing a therapeutic basis for the CCA treatment. 相似文献

Loss of fibronectin (FN) assembly in the extracellular matrix has long been recognized as a feature of cellular transformation. However, such assembly is regulated not only by FN synthesis but also by its post-translational modifications. The mechanism controlling FN protein stability has remained unclear so far. Recently it was demonstrated that FN matrix turnover occurs intracellularly at the lysosome following caveolin-1-dependent endocytosis. Although FN was reported to undergo ubiquitindependent degradation, the ubiquitin ligase responsible for FN ubiquitination is unknown. In this study, we have identified beta-TrCP as the ubiquitin ligase for lysosomal degradation of FN. We found two conserved beta-TrCP recognition motif (DSGVVYS and DSGSIVVS) in the primary amino acid sequence of human, mouse, and rat FN. Down-regulation of either beta-TrCP1 or beta-TrCP2 by small interference (siRNA) caused significant accumulation of FN. Immunolocalization studies showed intracellular accumulation of FN in beta-TrCP siRNA-treated cells without showing much alteration in its matrix association. We also observed that exposure of cells to UV irradiation effectively down-regulated FN following increased ubiquitination, which was significantly inhibited either by lysosomal inhibitor or by siRNA-mediated down-regulation of beta-TrCP. Taken together, constitutive FN degradation, as well as UV-induced degradation, is ubiquitination dependent and controlled by beta-TrCP. 相似文献

PTTG1, a securin protein, also behaves as a transforming gene and is overexpressed in pituitary tumors. Because pituitary folliculostellate (FS) cells regulate pituitary tumor growth factors by paracrine mechanisms, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR)-mediated PTTG1 expression and cell proliferation was tested in pituitary FS TtT/GF cells. EGFR ligands caused up to 3-fold induction of Pttg1 mRNA expression, enhanced proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and increased entry of G0/1-arrested cells into S-phase. PTTG binding factor mRNA expression was not altered. EGF-induced Pttg1 expression and cell proliferation was abolished by preincubation of TtT/GF cells with EGFR inhibitors AG1478 and gefitinib. Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase, protein kinase C, and MAPK, but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase and Janus activating kinase signaling regulated EGF-induced Pttg1, as well as proliferating cell nuclear antigen mRNA expression and entry into S-phase. EGF-induced EGFR and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was followed by rapid MAPK kinase/ERK kinase-dependent activation of Elk-1 and c-Fos. EGF-induced Pttg1 expression peaked at the S-G2 transition and declined thereafter. Pttg1 cell cycle dependency was confirmed by suppression of EGF-induced Pttg1 mRNA by blockade of cells in early S-phase. The results show that PTTG1 and its binding protein PTTG binding factor are expressed in pituitary FS TtT/GF cells. EGFR ligands induce PTTG1 and regulate S-phase, mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase, protein kinase C, and MAPK pathways. PTTG1 is therefore a target for EGFR-mediated paracrine regulation of pituitary cell growth. 相似文献

Ubiquitin-dependent degradation of Cdc25A is a major mechanism for damage-induced S-phase checkpoint. Two ubiquitin ligases, the Skp1-cullin-beta-TrCP (SCFbeta-TrCP) complex and the anaphase-promoting complex (APCCdh1), are involved in Cdc25A degradation. Here we demonstrate that the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)-Smad3 pathway promotes SCF(beta-TrCP)-mediated Cdc25A ubiquitination. Cells treated with TGF-beta, as well as cells transfected with Smad3 or a constitutively active type I TGF-beta receptor, exhibit increased ubiquitination and markedly shortened half-lives of Cdc25A. Furthermore, Cdc25A is stabilized in cells transfected with Smad3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and cells from Smad3-null mice. TGF-beta-induced ubiquitination is associated with Cdc25A phosphorylation at the beta-TrCP docking site (DS82G motif) and physical association of Cdc25A with Smad3 and beta-TrCP. Cdc25A mutant proteins deficient in DS82G phosphorylation are resistant to TGF-beta-Smad3-induced degradation, whereas a Cdc25A mutant protein defective in APCCdh1 recognition undergoes efficient degradation. Smad3 siRNA inhibits beta-TrCP-Cdc25A interaction and Cdc25A degradation in response to TGF-beta. beta-TrCP2 siRNA also inhibits Smad3-induced Cdc25A degradation. In contrast, Cdh1 siRNA had no effect on Cdc25A down-regulation by Smad3. These data suggest that Smad3 plays a key role in the regulation of Cdc25A ubiquitination by SCFbeta-TrCP and that Cdc25A stabilization observed in various cancers could be associated with defects in the TGF-beta-Smad3 pathway. 相似文献

We have examined the role of beta-TrCP (beta-transducin repeat-containing protein) in the ubiquitination and degradation of IkappaBbeta, one of the two major IkappaB isoforms in mammalian cells. We demonstrate that beta-TrCP interacts specifically with IkappaBbeta, and such interaction is dependent on prior phosphorylation of IkappaBbeta on serines 19 and 23. Interaction with beta-TrCP is also necessary for ubiquitination of IkappaBbeta upon stimulation of cells, and deletion of the F-box in beta-TrCP abolishes its ability to ubiquitinate IkappaBbeta. Therefore, these results indicate that beta-TrCP plays a critical role in the activation of NF-kappaB by assembling the ubiquitin ligase complex for both phosphorylated IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta. 相似文献

Regulated degradation of circadian clock proteins is a crucial step for rhythm generation per se but also for establishing a normal circadian period. Here, the authors show that the F-box protein beta-transducin repeat containing protein 1 (beta-TrCP1) as part of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is an essential component of the mammalian circadian oscillator. Down-regulation of endogenous beta-TrCP1 as well as expression of a dominant-negative form both result in lengthening of the circadian period in oscillating fibroblasts. These phenotypes are due to an impaired degradation of PERIOD (PER) proteins, since expression of beta-TrCP interaction-deficient PER2 variants--but not wild-type PER2--results in a dramatic stabilization of PER2 protein as well as in the disruption of circadian rhythmicity. Mathematical modeling conceptualizes the authors' findings and suggests that loss of sustained rhythmicity in cells with eliminated beta-TrCP-mediated PER2 degradation is due to excessive nuclear repression, a prediction they verified experimentally. 相似文献
