  • The Functional Antagonism between Eg5 and Dynein in Spindle Bipolarization Is Not Compatible with a Simple Push-Pull Model. 22832270

    During cell division, the molecular motor Eg5 crosslinks overlapping antiparallel microtubules and pushes them apart to separate mitotic spindle poles. Dynein has been proposed as a direct antagonist of Eg5 at the spindle equator, pulling on antiparallel microtubules and favoring spindle collapse. Some of the experiments supporting this hypothesis relied on endpoint quantifications of spindle phenotypes rather than following individual cell fates over time. Here, we present a mathematical model and proof-of-principle experiments to demonstrate that endpoint quantifications can be fundamentally misleading because they overestimate defective phenotypes. Indeed, live-cell imaging reveals that, while depletion of dynein or the dynein binding protein Lis1 enables spindle formation in presence of an Eg5 inhibitor, the activities of dynein and Eg5 cannot be titrated against each other. Thus, dynein most likely antagonizes Eg5 indirectly by exerting force at different spindle locations rather than through a simple push-pull mechanism at the spindle equator.

  • Degradation of p21Cip1 through anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome and its activator Cdc20 (APC/CCdc20) ubiquitin ligase complex-mediated ubiquitylation is inhibited by ... 22045811

    Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Cip1 plays a crucial role in regulating cell cycle arrest and differentiation. It is known that p21Cip1 increases during terminal differentiation of cardiomyocytes, but its expression control and biological roles are not fully understood. Here, we show that the p21Cip1 protein is stabilized in cardiomyocytes after mitogenic stimulation, due to its increased CDK2 binding and inhibition of ubiquitylation. The APC/CCdc20 complex is shown to be an E3 ligase mediating ubiquitylation of p21Cip1 at the N terminus. CDK2, but not CDC2, suppressed the interaction of p21Cip1 with Cdc20, thereby leading to inhibition of anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome and its activator Cdc20 (APC/CCdc20)-mediated p21Cip1 ubiquitylation. It was further demonstrated that p21Cip1 accumulation caused G2 arrest of cardiomyocytes that were forced to re-enter the cell cycle. Taken together, these data show that the stability of the p21Cip1 protein is actively regulated in terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes and plays a role in inhibiting their uncontrolled cell cycle progression. Our study provides a novel insight on the control of p21Cip1 by ubiquitin-mediated degradation and its implication in cell cycle arrest in terminal differentiation.

  • Oncogenic KRAS sensitises colorectal tumour cells to chemotherapy by p53-dependent induction of Noxa. 20354524

    Oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) currently form the backbone of conservative treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Tumour responses to these agents are highly variable, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Our previous results have indicated that oncogenic KRAS in colorectal tumour cells sensitises these cells to chemotherapy.FACS analysis was used to determine cell-cycle distribution and the percentage of apoptotic and mitotic cells. A multiplexed RT-PCR assay was used to identify KRAS-controlled apoptosis regulators after exposure to 5-FU or oxaliplatin. Lentiviral expression of short-hairpin RNAs was used to suppress p53 or Noxa.Oncogenic KRAS sensitised colorectal tumour cells to oxaliplatin and 5-FU in a p53-dependent manner and promoted p53 phosphorylation at Ser37 and Ser392, without affecting p53 stabilisation, p21 induction, or cell-cycle arrest. Chemotherapy-induced expression of the p53 target gene Noxa was selectively enhanced by oncogenic KRAS. Suppression of Noxa did not affect p21 induction or cell-cycle arrest, but reduced KRAS/p53-dependent apoptosis after exposure to chemotherapy in vitro and in tumour xenografts. Noxa suppression did not affect tumour growth per se, but strongly reduced the response of these tumours to chemotherapy.Oncogenic KRAS determines the cellular response to p53 activation by oxaliplatin or 5-FU, by facilitating apoptosis induction through Noxa.

  • Development of the post-natal growth plate requires intraflagellar transport proteins. 17359961

    In the post-natal growth plate, chondrocytes are arranged in columns parallel to the long axis of the bone. Chondrocytes divide perpendicular to this axis and then move into position one on top of another in a process called "rotation" that maintains columnar organization. Primary cilia are non-motile microtubule base appendages extending from the surface of almost all vertebrate cells. Primary cilia were described on chondrocytes almost 40 years ago but the function of these structures in cartilage biology is not known. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is the process by which primary cilia are generated and maintained. This study tested the hypothesis that IFT plays an important role in post-natal skeletal development. Kif3a, a subunit of the Kinesin II motor complex, that is required for intraflagellar transport and the formation of cilia, was deleted in mouse chondrocytes via Col2a-Cre-mediated recombination. Disruption of IFT resulted in subsequent depletion of cilia and post-natal dwarfism due to premature loss of the growth plate likely a result of reduced proliferation and accelerated hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes. Cell shape and columnar orientation in the growth plate were also disrupted suggesting a defect in the process of rotation. Alterations in chondrocyte rotation were accompanied by disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and alterations in the localization of activated FAK to focal adhesion-like structures on chondrocytes. This is the first report indicating a role for IFT and primary cilia in the development of the post-natal growth plate. The results suggest a model in which IFT/cilia act to maintain the columnar organization of the growth plate via the process of chondrocyte rotation.

  • Estrogen-regulated prohibitin is required for mouse uterine development and adult function. 21209023

    Estrogen signaling is pivotal for maintenance of female reproductive function in mammals. The physiological role of estrogen is mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs) and the steroid receptor coactivator family of transcriptional coregulators. Ablation of steroid receptor coactivator and ER coactivators in mice causes impaired female reproductive function. Recently we reported that prohibitin (PHB) can function as a corepressor for ERs in cultured cells. In this study, we demonstrate that PHB is an estrogen-regulated gene in vitro and in vivo, and its expression is induced by estrogen in the uterus, suggesting the existence of feedback regulatory loops. A conditional PHB knockout mouse model was generated by gene targeting to assess its in vivo function. Female mice with selective ablation of the PHB allele in the uterus were sterile, and their uteri were severely hypoplastic, indicating PHB is required for uterine development. Moreover, expression of ER and progesterone receptor target genes was selectively altered in response to hormone treatment. In summary, this study demonstrates that PHB is an estrogen-regulated gene and that PHB is essential for mouse uterine development and adult function and selectively required for estrogen-regulated gene expression.

  • Histone H3 phosphorylation (Ser10, Ser28) and phosphoacetylation (K9S10) are differentially associated with gene expression in liver of rats treated in vivo with acute et ... 22025646

    The epigenetic histone modification by ethanol is emerging as one of the mechanisms for its deleterious effects in the liver. In this context, we have investigated the role of histone H3 phosphorylation at Ser10 (P-H3-Ser10), and Ser28 (P-H3-Ser28) in liver after acute ethanol treatment in vivo. Ethanol was administered intraperitoneally in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Ethanol dose-response (1-5 g/kg body weight) and time-course (1-4 h) experiments were conducted, and various parameters were monitored. Steatosis and necrosis (serum alanine aminotransferase) of the liver increased in 4 h, suggesting liver injury. There were differences between P-H3-Ser10 and P-H3-Ser28 at 1 h, with the latter being more sensitive to lower ethanol doses. It was noteworthy that phosphorylation of both serines disappeared at the highest dose used (5 g/kg). We also examined phosphoacetylation of histone H3 at K9S10 and observed a dramatic increase. The changes in histone H3 phosphorylation and phosphoacetylation were also accompanied with expression of early response genes (c-fos, c-jun, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1). Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays in samples from 1.5 and 4 h of ethanol administration indicated that increased histone H3 phosphorylation at Ser28 was associated with the promoters of c-jun and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. In conclusion, this study demonstrates for the first time that in vivo exposure of liver to acute ethanol induced phosphorylation and phosphoacetylation of histone H3, and these modifications are differentially involved in the mRNA expression of genes.

  • Reactivation of an inactive centromere reveals epigenetic and structural components for centromere specification in maize. 19602622

    Stable maize (Zea mays) chromosomes were recovered from an unstable dicentric containing large and small versions of the B chromosome centromere. In the stable chromosome, the smaller centromere had become inactivated. This inactive centromere can be inherited from one generation to the next attached to the active version and loses all known cytological and molecular properties of active centromeres. When separated from the active centromere by intrachromosomal recombination, the inactive centromere can be reactivated. The reactivated centromere regains the molecular attributes of activity in anaphase I of meiosis. When two copies of the dicentric chromosome with one active and one inactive centromere are present, homologous chromosome pairing reduces the frequency of intrachromosomal recombination and thus decreases, but does not eliminate, the reactivation of inactive centromeres. These findings indicate an epigenetic component to centromere specification in that centromere inactivation can be directed by joining two centromeres in opposition. These findings also indicate a structural aspect to centromere specification revealed by the gain of activity at the site of the previously inactive sequences.

  • The mef/elf4 transcription factor fine tunes the DNA damage response. 21616937

    The ATM kinase plays a critical role in initiating the DNA damage response that is triggered by genotoxic stresses capable of inducing DNA double-strand breaks. Here, we show that ELF4/MEF, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, contributes to the persistence of γH2AX DNA damage foci and promotes the DNA damage response leading to the induction of apoptosis. Conversely, the absence of ELF4 promotes the faster repair of damaged DNA and more rapid disappearance of γH2AX foci in response to γ-irradiation, leading to a radio-resistant phenotype despite normal ATM phosphorylation. Following γ-irradiation, ATM phosphorylates ELF4, leading to its degradation; a mutant form of ELF4 that cannot be phosphorylated by ATM persists following γ-irradiation, delaying the resolution of γH2AX foci and triggering an excessive DNA damage response. Thus, although ELF4 promotes the phosphorylation of H2AX by ATM, its activity must be dampened by ATM-dependent phosphorylation and degradation to avoid an excessive DNA damage response.
