LRP16与 ERα相互作用增强ERα介导的转录活性

LRP16是一个雌激素（E2）通过受体α（ERα）诱导表达的靶基因,LRP16不仅促进人乳腺癌MCF-7细胞的增殖,而且促进细胞的侵袭生长,但对LRP16作用的分子机制尚不清楚.首先,检测到LRP16表达缺陷明显削弱了MCF-7细胞对E2的反应性增殖能力;采用Northern 印迹与Western印迹法,进一步检测到抑制LRP16表达,明显损害了ERα靶基因对E2诱导上调的反应性,这些基因包括了cyclin D1, c-myc, c-fos,MTA3, pS2和维甲酸受体α基因（RARα）等;以上结果提示,LRP16参与了ERα介导的信号途径.将ERα模式启动子报告基因3×ERE-TATA-luc,ERα以及LRP16表达载体共转染MCF-7与HeLa细胞.结果发现,LRP16增强了ERα对报告基因的转录激活,并呈现对LRP16的剂量依赖性;进而采用GST-pull down以及免疫共沉淀方法证实了LRP16与ERα之间的直接相互作用,该作用不依赖于E2的存在,但可被E2增强;采用哺乳动物双杂交方法进一步证实了ERα与LRP16相互作用位点存在于A/B区的激活功能域-１（AF1）.以上结果表明,LRP16是ERα的一个共激活因子,通过相互作用,LRP16增强了ERα介导转录活性.该研究为LRP16促进ERα阳性乳腺癌细胞增殖与侵袭生长提供了合理的分子解释.

HeLa细胞中LRP16影响电离辐射诱导的NF-κB核转位

前期研究显示抑制LRP16的表达可以明显增加肿瘤细胞对辐射诱导凋亡的敏感性,但具体机制尚不清楚．大量研究表明,NF-κB信号通路在肿瘤产生辐射抵抗中起着重要的作用. 为研究LRP16影响肿瘤细胞对辐射敏感性的可能机制,首先通过免疫 荧光技术检测电离辐射刺激后不同时间点NF-κB的核转位情况;然后分别过表达和抑制LRP16的表达,采用Western印迹方法检测NF-κB在核蛋白与浆蛋白中的表达情况、 IκB-α总体蛋白水平及磷酸化水平．结果发现,电离辐射后1 h,可见NF-κB明显入核;过表达LRP16可以促进NF-κB入核、提高IκB-α的磷酸化水平、促进IκB-α 的降解;反之,抑制LRP16的表达可以抑制NF-κB入核、降低IκB-α的磷酸化水平、 阻碍IκB-α的降解．上述研究结果表明,在HeLa细胞中LRP16可以影响电离辐射诱导的NF-κB核转位,该研究为LRP16参与肿瘤细胞产生辐射抵抗现象提供一种可能的机制．     

PARP-1／AIF介导的细胞凋亡

雌激素通过LRP16基因5′侧翼GC富含区上调其转录的分子机制

LRP16是一个明确的雌激素(E2)反应性靶基因,已往研究在LRP16基因上游调控区鉴定了一个E2反应性1/2ERE/GC富含的ERα作用位点(-676bp到-214bp;命名为A区).为进一步鉴定雌激素上调LRP16基因表达的最大化反应区域,对LRP16基因上游调控区进行缺失突变,通过相对荧光素酶活性分析观察到LRP16基因的一段5′近端侧翼序列(-213bp到-24bp;命名为B区)具有明显的E2反应性.通过与A区比较,认为B区最大化的呈递了E2对LRP16基因的转激活效应.序列分析表明,B区缺乏经典的ERE元件,而包含多个富含GC序列.针对Sp1的siRNA实验结果提示,Sp1参与了E2对该区域的转激活.针对GC富含区进一步的缺失突变,及荧光素酶活性分析,识别了一段30bp(-213bp到-184bp)的序列在B区呈递E2反应活性中发挥核心作用.超级凝胶电泳实验结果表明,Sp1蛋白与这段30bp的DNA序列在体外存在直接结合作用.染色质免疫共沉淀实验结果证实,ERα、Sp1与B区存在E2依赖性相互作用.本文在LRP16的5′-侧翼区识别了一段最大化呈递E2活性的DNA片段.机制研究表明,在E2存在条件下,ERα通过Sp1与该区域的直接作用上调LRP16基因的表达.     

Poly(etheno ADP-ribose) blocks poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase activity

Poly(ADP-ribose) is a biopolymer synthesized by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. Recent findings suggest the possibility for modulation of cellular functions including cell death and mitosis by poly(ADP-ribose). Derivatization of poly(ADP-ribose) may be useful for investigating the effects of poly(ADP-ribose) on various cellular processes. We prepared poly(etheno ADP-ribose) (poly(epsilonADP-ribose)) by converting the adenine moiety of poly(ADP-ribose) to 1-N(6)-etheno adenine residues. Poly(epsilonADP-ribose) is shown to be highly resistant to digestion by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (Parg). On the other hand, poly(epsilonADP-ribose) could be readily digested by phosphodiesterase. Furthermore, poly(epsilonADP-ribose) inhibited Parg activity to hydrolyse ribose-ribose bonds of poly(ADP-ribose). This study suggests the possibility that poly(epsilonADP-ribose) might be a useful tool for studying the poly(ADP-ribose) dynamics and function of Parg. This study also implies that modification of the adenine moiety of poly(ADP-ribose) abrogates the susceptibility to digestion by Parg.     

Poly(ADP-ribose) Glycohydrolase Is Present and Active in Mammalian Cells as a 110-kDa Protein

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is the major enzyme responsible for the catabolism of poly(ADP-ribose), a reversible covalent-modifier of chromosomal proteins. Purification of PARG from many tissues revealed heterogeneity in activity and structure of this enzyme. To investigate PARG structure and localization, we developed a highly sensitive one-dimensional zymogram allowing us to analyze PARG activity in crude extracts of Cos-7, Jurkat, HL-60, and Molt-3 cells. In all extracts, a single PARG activity band corresponding to a protein of about 110 kDa was detected. This 110-kDa PARG activity was found mainly in cytoplasmic rather than in nuclear extracts of Cos-7 cells.     

多ADP-核糖聚合酶家族

分离鉴定多功能的核基质蛋白及核基质结合蛋白是目前核基质研究的一个重要领域。通过与转录因子、核基质结合元件以及DNA间相互作用,核基质结合蛋白在DNA复制、转录、加工修饰等细胞内事件中起着支持和调节的作用。多ADP-核糖聚合酶[poly(ADP—ribose)polymerase,PARP]是一种高度保守的核基质结合蛋白,在多种活动例如基因组损伤修复、细胞凋亡、信号转导、基因表达调控中都发挥着调节的功能。PARP的潜在生物学功能已越来越引起国内外研究人员的关注。     

Cytoplasmic poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase in AEV-transformed chicken erythroblasts

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase activities were both investigated in chicken erythroblasts transformed by Avian Erythroblastosis Virus. Respectively 21% and 58% of these activities were found to be present in the post-mitochondrial supernatant (PMS). Fractionation of the PMS on sucrose gradients and poly(A⁺) mRNA detection by hybridization to [³H] poly(U) show that cytoplasmic poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is exclusively localized in free mRNP. The glycohydrolase activity sedimented mostly in the 6 S region but 1/3 of the activity was in the free mRNP zone. Seven poly(ADP-ribose) protein acceptors were identified in the PMS in the Mr 21000–120000 range. The Mr 120000 protein corresponds to automodified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. A Mr 21000 protein acceptor is abundant in PMS and a Mr 34000 is exclusively associated with ribosomes and ribosomal subunits. The existence of both poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and glycohydrolase activities in free mRNP argues in favour of a role of poly(ADP-ribosylation) in mRNP metabolism. A possible involvement of this post translational modification in the mechanisms of repression-derepression of mRNA is discussed.Abbreviations ADP-ribose adenosine (5) diphospho(5)--D ribose - poly(ADP-ribose) polymer of ADP-ribose - mRNP messenger ribonucleoprotein particles - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride - LDS lithium dodecyl sulfate - TCA trichloroacetic acid     

Poly(ADP-ribose) catabolism in mammalian cells

Poly(ADP-ribose) catabolism is a complex situation involving many proteins and DNA. We have developed anin vitro turnover system where poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism is monitored in presence of different relative amounts of two principal enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) transferase and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase along with other proteins and DNA. Our current results reviewed here show that the quality of polymer, i.e. chain length and complexity, as well as preference for the nuclear substrate varies depending upon the availability of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. These results are interpreted in the light of the recent data implicating poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism in DNA-repair. (Mol Cell Biochem 138: 45–52 1994)     

Preferential Perinuclear Localization of Poly(ADP-ribose) Glycohydrolase

The transient nature of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, a posttranslational modification of nuclear proteins, is achieved by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) which hydrolyzes the poly(ADP-ribose) polymer into free ADP-ribose residues. To investigate the molecular size and localization of PARG, we developed a specific polyclonal antibody directed against the bovine PARG carboxy-terminal region. We found that PARG purified from bovine thymus was recognized as a 59-kDa protein, while Western blot analysis of total cell extracts revealed the presence of a unique 110-kDa protein. This 110-kDa PARG was mostly found in postnuclear extracts, whereas it was barely detectable in the nuclear fractions of COS7 cells. Further analysis by immunofluorescence revealed a cytoplasmic perinuclear distribution of PARG in COS7 cells overexpressing the bovine PARG cDNA. These results provide direct evidence that PARG is primarily a cytoplasmic enzyme and suggest that a very low amount of intranuclear PARG is required for poly(ADP-ribose) turnover.     

The 193-kD vault protein, VPARP, is a novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.

Mammalian vaults are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, composed of a small ribonucleic acid and three proteins of 100, 193, and 240 kD in size. The 100-kD major vault protein (MVP) accounts for >70% of the particle mass. We have identified the 193-kD vault protein by its interaction with the MVP in a yeast two-hybrid screen and confirmed its identity by peptide sequence analysis. Analysis of the protein sequence revealed a region of approximately 350 amino acids that shares 28% identity with the catalytic domain of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). PARP is a nuclear protein that catalyzes the formation of ADP-ribose polymers in response to DNA damage. The catalytic domain of p193 was expressed and purified from bacterial extracts. Like PARP, this domain is capable of catalyzing a poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction; thus, the 193-kD protein is a new PARP. Purified vaults also contain the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation activity, indicating that the assembled particle retains enzymatic activity. Furthermore, we show that one substrate for this vault-associated PARP activity is the MVP. Immunofluorescence and biochemical data reveal that p193 protein is not entirely associated with the vault particle, suggesting that it may interact with other protein(s). A portion of p193 is nuclear and localizes to the mitotic spindle.
