JAK2 is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase critical for cytokine signaling. In this study, we have identified a novel centrosome-associated complex containing ninein and JAK2. We have found that active JAK2 localizes around the mother centrioles, where it partly colocalizes with ninein, a protein involved in microtubule (MT) nucleation and anchoring. We demonstrated that JAK2 is an important regulator of centrosome function. Depletion of JAK2 or use of JAK2-null cells causes defects in MT anchoring and increased numbers of cells with mitotic defects; however, MT nucleation is unaffected. We showed that JAK2 directly phosphorylates the N terminus of ninein while the C terminus of ninein inhibits JAK2 kinase activity in vitro. Overexpressed wild-type (WT) or C-terminal (amino acids 1179 to 1931) ninein inhibits JAK2. This ninein-dependent inhibition of JAK2 significantly decreases prolactin- and interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-induced tyrosyl phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT5. Downregulation of ninein enhances JAK2 activation. These results indicate that JAK2 is a novel member of centrosome-associated complex and that this localization regulates both centrosomal function and JAK2 kinase activity, thus controlling cytokine-activated molecular pathways. 相似文献

Type 2C protein phosphatase plays an important role in the signal transduction of stress response in plants. In this paper, we identified a novel stress-induced type 2C protein phosphatase gene OsSIPP2C1 from rice. OsSIPP2C1 contains a complete open reading frame of 1,074 bp, encoding a protein with 357 amino acids. OsSIPP2C1 expression was up-regulated by high salt, PEG6000 and exogenous ABA, and enhanced in the abl1 mutant under normal, salt, or drought condition. Interestingly, OsSIPP2C1 expression was increased during the early panicle development. Subcellular localization assay using rice protoplast cells indicated that OsSIPP2C1 was predominantly located in the nucleus. Together, it is suggested that a nuclear PP2C protein OsSIPP2C1 negatively regulated by ABL1 is involved in abiotic stress and panicle development in rice. 相似文献

The kinetochore, which consists of centromere DNA and structural proteins, is essential for proper chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. In budding yeast, Sgt1 and Hsp90 are required for the binding of Skp1 to Ctf13 (a component of the core kinetochore complex CBF3) and therefore for the assembly of CBF3. We have previously shown that Sgt1 dimerization is important for this kinetochore assembly mechanism. In this study, we report that protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates Ser361 on Sgt1, and this phosphorylation inhibits Sgt1 dimerization.The kinetochore is a structural protein complex located in the centromeric region of the chromosome coupled to spindle microtubules (1, 2). The kinetochore generates a signal to arrest cells during mitosis when it is not properly attached to microtubules, thereby preventing chromosome missegregation, which can lead to aneuploidy (3, 4). The molecular structure of the kinetochore complex of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been well characterized; it is composed of more than 70 proteins, many of which are conserved in mammals (2).The centromere DNA in the budding yeast is a 125-bp region that contains three conserved regions, CDEI, CDEII, and CDEIII (5, 6). CDEIII (25 bp) is essential for centromere function (7) and is bound to a key component of the centromere, the CBF3 complex. The CBF3 complex contains four proteins, Ndc10, Cep3, Ctf13 (8–15), and Skp1 (14, 15), all essential for viability. Mutations in any of the CBF3 proteins abolish the ability of CDEIII to bind to CBF3 (16, 17). All of the kinetochore proteins, except the CDEI-binding Cbf1 (18–20), localize to the kinetochores in a CBF3-dependent manner (2). Thus, CBF3 is a fundamental kinetochore complex, and its mechanism of assembly is of great interest.We have previously found that Sgt1 and Skp1 activate Ctf13; thus, they are required for assembly of the CBF3 complex (21). The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is also required to form the active Ctf13-Skp1 complex (22). Sgt1 has two highly conserved motifs that are required for protein-protein interaction: the tetratricopeptide repeat (21) and the CHORD protein and Sgt1-specific motif. We and others have found that both domains are important for the interaction of Sgt1 with Hsp90 (23–26), which is required for assembly of the core kinetochore complex. This interaction is an initial step in kinetochore activation (24, 26, 27), which is conserved between yeast and humans (28, 29).We have recently shown that Sgt1 dimerization is important for Sgt1-Skp1 binding and therefore for kinetochore assembly (30). In this study, we have found that protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates Sgt1 at Ser361, and this phosphorylation inhibits Sgt1 dimerization. Therefore, CK2 appears to regulate kinetochore assembly negatively in budding yeast. 相似文献

在人的某些癌症细胞中,组蛋白H3K27me3甲基化酶EZH2基因存在过表达的现象,很多研究已经证明,这可能是受MEK ERK信号通路调控的.为了确定这种调控模式在小鼠细胞系中是否同样存在,以及MEK ERK信号通路是否同时调控H3K27me3甲基化酶EZH1基因和去甲基化酶UTX、JMJD3基因的表达,用RT PCR和Western印迹方法检测不同浓度的MEK ERK抑制剂U0126(0、10、20、40 μmol/L)对C2C12、C127、NIH3T3三种小鼠细胞系处理后,EZH1、EZH2基因和UTX、JMJD3基因表达变化.结果显示:MEK-ERK抑制剂处理后,3种细胞中EZH1和EZH2基因的表达与对照相比都有不同程度的降低,其中EZH2基因表达变化在C2C12、NIH3T3两种细胞达到显著水平(P<0.05). H3K27me3去甲基化酶UTX、JMJD3基因在3种细胞中表达均有升高,JMJD3升高达到显著水平(P<0.05).因此,在小鼠细胞系MEK ERK信号通路可能参与调控EZH2、JMJD3基因的表达,但对EZH1、UTX基因的表达调控作用不明显.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic bacterium that thrives as a commensal cutaneous organism and as a vascular pathogen. The S. epidermidis extracellular matrix binding protein (Embp) has been reported to be a virulence factor involved in colonization of medical device implants and subsequent biofilm formation. Here, we characterize the expression patterns of Embp in planktonic and biofilm cultures, as well as under high osmotic stresses that typify the commensal environment of the skin. Embp expression without osmotic stress was similar for planktonic and adherent cultures. Addition of osmotic stress via NaCl caused slight increases in embp expression in planktonic cultures. However, in adherent cultures a 100-fold increase in embp expression with NaCl versus controls occurred and coincided with altered biofilm morphology. Results suggest that the central role of Embp lies in commensal skin colonization, stabilizing the cell wall against osmotic stresses, rather than as a virulence factor promoting adhesion. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently aberrantly expressed in cancer, and abnormal signalling downstream of this receptor contributes to tumour growth. EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII) is the most commonly altered form of EGFR and contains a truncated ligand-binding domain. Aberrant signalling downstream of this receptor contributes to tumour invasion. We previously reported that EGFRvIII can promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) invasion. However, little is known concerning the mechanisms underlying EGFRvIII-mediated increases in cell motility and invasion in HCC. In this study, we observed that S100A11 was significantly upregulated in Huh-7 cells that overexpressed EGFRvIII. Moreover, S100A11 expression was elevated in HCC tissue samples (68.6%; 35/51), and this elevation was correlated with EGFRvIII expression (p = 0.0020; n = 20). Furthermore, the overexpression of S100A11 can promote HCC cell invasiveness, whereas siRNA against S100A11 can suppress the invasiveness of HCC cells stably transfected with EGFRvIII. Additionally, STAT3 inhibitors can block S100A11 expression and S100A11 promoter activity in HCC cells with stable overexpression of EGFRvIII. Furthermore, mutation in STATx binding sites could abolish the S1000A11 promoter activity stimulation by EGFRvIII. Taken together, the results demonstrate that the EGFRvIII-STAT3 pathway promotes cell migration and invasion by upregulating S100A11. 相似文献

The PV-1 protein is endogenously expressed from a single mRNA in the mouse pancreatic MS-1 endothelial cell line as a 60-kDa N-glycosylated and 50-kDa non-glycosylated protein that form DTT sensitive oligomers. In the absence of cell permeabilization, PV-1 labels transcellular openings of variable size, many that penetrate through the cytosol with circular openings on the free and attached surface of the plasma membrane. Intracellular PV-1 is localized in perinuclear aggregates that can extend as a fibrous network through the cytosol and often surround the nuclear compartment. In some cells, PV-1 is organized as a large unipolar spindle-like structure that is often associated with severe deformation of the nucleus. The VEGF-R2 inhibitor SU5614 increased the PV-1 protein in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited MS-1 cell growth, without inducing apoptosis. This report provides compelling evidence for a functional role of PV-1 in the formation of large transendothelial channels and modulation of nuclear shape. Moreover, these data suggest the PV-1 protein is negatively regulated by VEGF. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of the C-terminal end of histone H2A.X is the most characterized histone post-translational modification in DNA double-stranded breaks (DSB). DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is one of the three phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-like family of kinase members that is known to phosphorylate histone H2A.X during DNA DSB repair. There is a growing body of evidence supporting a role for histone acetylation in DNA DSB repair, but the mechanism or the causative relation remains largely unknown. Using bacterially expressed recombinant mutants and stably and transiently transfected cell lines, we find that DNA-PK can phosphorylate Thr-136 in addition to Ser-139 both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the phosphorylation reaction is not inhibited by the presence of H1, which in itself is a substrate of the reaction. We also show that, in contrast to previous reports, the ability of the enzyme to phosphorylate these residues is not affected by the extent of acetylation of the core histones. In vitro assembled nucleosomes and HeLa S3 native oligonucleosomes consisting of non-acetylated and acetylated histones are equally phosphorylated by DNA-PK. We demonstrate that the apparent differences in the extent of phosphorylation previously observed can be accounted for by the differential chromatin solubility under the MgCl2 concentrations required for the phosphorylation reaction in vitro. Finally, we show that although H2A.X does not affect nucleosome conformation, it has a de-stabilizing effect that is enhanced by the DNA-PK-mediated phosphorylation and results in an impaired histone H1 binding. 相似文献

The role of exosomes in cancer can be inferred from the observation that they transfer tumor cell derived genetic material and signaling proteins, resulting in e.g. increased tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. However, the membrane transport mechanisms and the signaling events involved in the uptake of these virus-like particles remain ill-defined. We now report that internalization of exosomes derived from glioblastoma (GBM) cells involves nonclassical, lipid raft-dependent endocytosis. Importantly, we show that the lipid raft-associated protein caveolin-1 (CAV1), in analogy with its previously described role in virus uptake, negatively regulates the uptake of exosomes. We find that exosomes induce the phosphorylation of several downstream targets known to associate with lipid rafts as signaling and sorting platforms, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) and heat shock protein 27 (HSP27). Interestingly, exosome uptake appears dependent on unperturbed ERK1/2-HSP27 signaling, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation is under negative influence by CAV1 during internalization of exosomes. These findings significantly advance our general understanding of exosome-mediated uptake and offer potential strategies for how this pathway may be targeted through modulation of CAV1 expression and ERK1/2 signaling. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies have shown several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play various roles in HCC progression, but no research has focused on the expression pattern of microRNA clusters encoded in lncRNAs. The Ftx gene encodes a lncRNA which harbors 2 clusters of microRNAs in its introns, the miR-374b/421 cluster and the miR-545/374a cluster. To date, no research has focused on the role of the miR-545/374a and miR-374b/421 clusters in HBV-related HCC. In this study, 66 pairs of HBV-related HCC tissue and matched non-cancerous liver tissue specimens were analyzed for the expression of the Ftx microRNA clusters. Our results showed that the miR-545/374a cluster was upregulated in HBV-HCC tissue and significantly correlated with prognosis-related clinical features, including histological grade, metastasis and tumor capsule. Transfection studies with microRNA mimics and inhibitors revealed that miR-545/374a expression promoted in vitro cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion. The wild-type HBV-genome-containing plasmid or full-length HBx protein encoding plasmid was transfected into the Bel-7402 cell line and observed for their influence on miR-545/374a expression. We found that transfection of the HBV genome or HBx alone resulted in an increase in miR-545/374a expression. Next, by monitoring the expression of sera miR-545/374a before and after surgical tumor excision, we found serum miR-545/374a was tumor-derived and exhibited a sharp decrease 25 days after tumor excision. We also examined the gender-based difference in miR-545/374a expression among HCC patients and utilized microRNA target prediction software to find the targets of miR-545/374a. One of these targets, namely estrogen-related receptor gamma (ESRRG) was inversely correlated with miR-545 expression. In conclusion, the overexpression of miR-545/374a cluster located in the Ftx lncRNA is partially responsible for a poor prognosis, and monitoring sera levels of miR-545/374a may be a useful diagnostic marker for HCC. 相似文献

Hyperactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanisms underlying the hyperactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling are incompletely understood. In this study, Pantothenate kinase 1 (PANK1) is shown to be a negative regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Downregulation of PANK1 in HCC correlates with clinical features. Knockdown of PANK1 promotes the proliferation, growth and invasion of HCC cells, while overexpression of PANK1 inhibits the proliferation, growth, invasion and tumorigenicity of HCC cells. Mechanistically, PANK1 binds to CK1α, exerts protein kinase activity and cooperates with CK1α to phosphorylate N-terminal serine and threonine residues in β-catenin both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the expression levels of PANK1 and β-catenin can be used to predict the prognosis of HCC. Collectively, the results of this study highlight the crucial roles of PANK1 protein kinase activity in inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling, suggesting that PANK1 is a potential therapeutic target for HCC. 相似文献

The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is enriched in neural membranes of the CNS, and recent studies have shown a role of DHA metabolism by 15-lipoxygenase-1 (Alox15) in prefrontal cortex resolvin D1 formation, hippocampo-prefrontal cortical long-term-potentiation, spatial working memory, and anti-nociception/anxiety. In this study, we elucidated epigenetic regulation of Alox15 via histone modifications in neuron-like cells. Treatment of undifferentiated SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate significantly increased Alox15 mRNA expression. Moreover, Alox15 expression was markedly upregulated by Class I HDAC inhibitors, MS-275 and depsipeptide. Co-treatment of undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells with the p300 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor C646 and TSA or sodium butyrate showed that p300 HAT inhibition modulated TSA or sodium butyrate-induced Alox15 upregulation. Differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells with retinoic acid resulted in increased neurite outgrowth and Alox15 mRNA expression, while co-treatment with the p300 HAT inhibitor C646 and retinoic acid modulated the increases, indicating a role of p300 HAT in differentiation-associated Alox15 upregulation. Increasing Alox15 expression was found in primary murine cortical neurons during development from 3 to 10 days-in-vitro, reaching high levels of expression by 10 days-in-vitro—when Alox15 was not further upregulated by HDAC inhibition. Together, results indicate regulation of Alox15 mRNA expression in neuroblastoma cells by histone modifications, and increasing Alox15 expression in differentiating neurons. It is possible that one of the environmental influences on the immature brain that can affect cognition and memory, may take the form of epigenetic effects on Alox15 and metabolites of DHA. 相似文献
