    NRMT is an alpha-N-methyltransferase that methylates RCC1 and retinoblastoma protein (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-30
    Description: The post-translational methylation of alpha-amino groups was first discovered over 30 years ago on the bacterial ribosomal proteins L16 and L33 (refs 1, 2), but almost nothing is known about the function or enzymology of this modification. Several other bacterial and eukaryotic proteins have since been shown to be alpha-N-methylated. However, the Ran guanine nucleotide-exchange factor, RCC1, is the only protein for which any biological function of alpha-N-methylation has been identified. Methylation-defective mutants of RCC1 have reduced affinity for DNA and cause mitotic defects, but further characterization of this modification has been hindered by ignorance of the responsible methyltransferase. All fungal and animal N-terminally methylated proteins contain a unique N-terminal motif, Met-(Ala/Pro/Ser)-Pro-Lys, indicating that they may be targets of the same, unknown enzyme. The initiating Met is cleaved, and the exposed alpha-amino group is mono-, di- or trimethylated. Here we report the discovery of the first alpha-N-methyltransferase, which we named N-terminal RCC1 methyltransferase (NRMT). Substrate docking and mutational analysis of RCC1 defined the NRMT recognition sequence and enabled the identification of numerous new methylation targets, including SET (also known as TAF-I or PHAPII) and the retinoblastoma protein, RB. Knockdown of NRMT recapitulates the multi-spindle phenotype seen with methylation-defective RCC1 mutants, demonstrating the importance of alpha-N-methylation for normal bipolar spindle formation and chromosome segregation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2939154/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2939154/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tooley, Christine E Schaner -- Petkowski, Janusz J -- Muratore-Schroeder, Tara L -- Balsbaugh, Jeremy L -- Shabanowitz, Jeffrey -- Sabat, Michal -- Minor, Wladek -- Hunt, Donald F -- Macara, Ian G -- R01 GM050526/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM050526-17/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 26;466(7310):1125-8. doi: 10.1038/nature09343.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, Center for Cell Signaling, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, Virginia 22908, USA. ces5g@virginia.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20668449" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Maternal Rnf12/RLIM is required for imprinted X-chromosome inactivation in mice (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-10-22
    Description: Two forms of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) ensure the selective silencing of female sex chromosomes during mouse embryogenesis. Imprinted XCI begins with the detection of Xist RNA expression on the paternal X chromosome (Xp) at about the four-cell stage of embryonic development. In the embryonic tissues of the inner cell mass, a random form of XCI occurs in blastocysts that inactivates either Xp or the maternal X chromosome (Xm). Both forms of XCI require the non-coding Xist RNA that coats the inactive X chromosome from which it is expressed. Xist has crucial functions in the silencing of X-linked genes, including Rnf12 (refs 3, 4) encoding the ubiquitin ligase RLIM (RING finger LIM-domain-interacting protein). Here we show, by targeting a conditional knockout of Rnf12 to oocytes where RLIM accumulates to high levels, that the maternal transmission of the mutant X chromosome (Deltam) leads to lethality in female embryos as a result of defective imprinted XCI. We provide evidence that in Deltam female embryos the initial formation of Xist clouds and Xp silencing are inhibited. In contrast, embryonic stem cells lacking RLIM are able to form Xist clouds and silence at least some X-linked genes during random XCI. These results assign crucial functions to the maternal deposit of Rnf12/RLIM for the initiation of imprinted XCI.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967734/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967734/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shin, Jongdae -- Bossenz, Michael -- Chung, Young -- Ma, Hong -- Byron, Meg -- Taniguchi-Ishigaki, Naoko -- Zhu, Xiaochun -- Jiao, Baowei -- Hall, Lisa L -- Green, Michael R -- Jones, Stephen N -- Hermans-Borgmeyer, Irm -- Lawrence, Jeanne B -- Bach, Ingolf -- 5 P30 DK32520/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK32520/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA131158-04/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM033977/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01CA131158/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Oct 21;467(7318):977-81. doi: 10.1038/nature09457.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Gene Function and Expression, University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20962847" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Telomere elongation in induced pluripotent stem cells from dyskeratosis congenita patients (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-02-19
    Description: Patients with dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a disorder of telomere maintenance, suffer degeneration of multiple tissues. Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells represent invaluable in vitro models for human degenerative disorders like DC. A cardinal feature of iPS cells is acquisition of indefinite self-renewal capacity, which is accompanied by induction of the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT). We investigated whether defects in telomerase function would limit derivation and maintenance of iPS cells from patients with DC. Here we show that reprogrammed DC cells overcome a critical limitation in telomerase RNA component (TERC) levels to restore telomere maintenance and self-renewal. We discovered that TERC upregulation is a feature of the pluripotent state, that several telomerase components are targeted by pluripotency-associated transcription factors, and that in autosomal dominant DC, transcriptional silencing accompanies a 3' deletion at the TERC locus. Our results demonstrate that reprogramming restores telomere elongation in DC cells despite genetic lesions affecting telomerase, and show that strategies to increase TERC expression may be therapeutically beneficial in DC patients.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3058620/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3058620/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Agarwal, Suneet -- Loh, Yuin-Han -- McLoughlin, Erin M -- Huang, Junjiu -- Park, In-Hyun -- Miller, Justine D -- Huo, Hongguang -- Okuka, Maja -- Dos Reis, Rosana Maria -- Loewer, Sabine -- Ng, Huck-Hui -- Keefe, David L -- Goldman, Frederick D -- Klingelhutz, Aloysius J -- Liu, Lin -- Daley, George Q -- DP1 OD000256/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP1 OD000256-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL089150/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL089150-01A1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08HL089150/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027388/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG027388-01A2/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG0227388/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- U01 HL100001/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Mar 11;464(7286):292-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08792.

    Ataxin-2 intermediate-length polyglutamine expansions are associated with increased risk for ALS (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-08-27
    Description: The causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating human neurodegenerative disease, are poorly understood, although the protein TDP-43 has been suggested to have a critical role in disease pathogenesis. Here we show that ataxin 2 (ATXN2), a polyglutamine (polyQ) protein mutated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, is a potent modifier of TDP-43 toxicity in animal and cellular models. ATXN2 and TDP-43 associate in a complex that depends on RNA. In spinal cord neurons of ALS patients, ATXN2 is abnormally localized; likewise, TDP-43 shows mislocalization in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2. To assess the involvement of ATXN2 in ALS, we analysed the length of the polyQ repeat in the ATXN2 gene in 915 ALS patients. We found that intermediate-length polyQ expansions (27-33 glutamines) in ATXN2 were significantly associated with ALS. These data establish ATXN2 as a relatively common ALS susceptibility gene. Furthermore, these findings indicate that the TDP-43-ATXN2 interaction may be a promising target for therapeutic intervention in ALS and other TDP-43 proteinopathies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2965417/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2965417/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Elden, Andrew C -- Kim, Hyung-Jun -- Hart, Michael P -- Chen-Plotkin, Alice S -- Johnson, Brian S -- Fang, Xiaodong -- Armakola, Maria -- Geser, Felix -- Greene, Robert -- Lu, Min Min -- Padmanabhan, Arun -- Clay-Falcone, Dana -- McCluskey, Leo -- Elman, Lauren -- Juhr, Denise -- Gruber, Peter J -- Rub, Udo -- Auburger, Georg -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- Van Deerlin, Vivianna M -- Bonini, Nancy M -- Gitler, Aaron D -- 1DP2OD004417-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- 1R01NS065317-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- AG-10124/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG-17586/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DP2 OD004417/OD/NIH HHS/ -- DP2 OD004417-01/OD/NIH HHS/ -- K08 AG-033101-01/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG-09215/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS065317-03/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 26;466(7310):1069-75. doi: 10.1038/nature09320.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20740007" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Termination of autophagy and reformation of lysosomes regulated by mTOR (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-06-08
    Description: Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process by which cytoplasmic proteins and organelles are catabolized. During starvation, the protein TOR (target of rapamycin), a nutrient-responsive kinase, is inhibited, and this induces autophagy. In autophagy, double-membrane autophagosomes envelop and sequester intracellular components and then fuse with lysosomes to form autolysosomes, which degrade their contents to regenerate nutrients. Current models of autophagy terminate with the degradation of the autophagosome cargo in autolysosomes, but the regulation of autophagy in response to nutrients and the subsequent fate of the autolysosome are poorly understood. Here we show that mTOR signalling in rat kidney cells is inhibited during initiation of autophagy, but reactivated by prolonged starvation. Reactivation of mTOR is autophagy-dependent and requires the degradation of autolysosomal products. Increased mTOR activity attenuates autophagy and generates proto-lysosomal tubules and vesicles that extrude from autolysosomes and ultimately mature into functional lysosomes, thereby restoring the full complement of lysosomes in the cell-a process we identify in multiple animal species. Thus, an evolutionarily conserved cycle in autophagy governs nutrient sensing and lysosome homeostasis during starvation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920749/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920749/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Li -- McPhee, Christina K -- Zheng, Lixin -- Mardones, Gonzalo A -- Rong, Yueguang -- Peng, Junya -- Mi, Na -- Zhao, Ying -- Liu, Zhihua -- Wan, Fengyi -- Hailey, Dale W -- Oorschot, Viola -- Klumperman, Judith -- Baehrecke, Eric H -- Lenardo, Michael J -- 2010CB833704/CB/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM079431/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM079431/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Z01 AI000718-13/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Z01 AI000718-14/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AI000718-15/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jun 17;465(7300):942-6. doi: 10.1038/nature09076.

    Zscan4 regulates telomere elongation and genomic stability in ES cells (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-03-26
    Description: Exceptional genomic stability is one of the hallmarks of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. However, the genes contributing to this stability remain obscure. We previously identified Zscan4 as a specific marker for two-cell embryo and ES cells. Here we show that Zscan4 is involved in telomere maintenance and long-term genomic stability in ES cells. Only 5% of ES cells express Zscan4 at a given time, but nearly all ES cells activate Zscan4 at least once during nine passages. The transient Zscan4-positive state is associated with rapid telomere extension by telomere recombination and upregulation of meiosis-specific homologous recombination genes, which encode proteins that are colocalized with ZSCAN4 on telomeres. Furthermore, Zscan4 knockdown shortens telomeres, increases karyotype abnormalities and spontaneous sister chromatid exchange, and slows down cell proliferation until reaching crisis by passage eight. Together, our data show a unique mode of genome maintenance in ES cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851843/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851843/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zalzman, Michal -- Falco, Geppino -- Sharova, Lioudmila V -- Nishiyama, Akira -- Thomas, Marshall -- Lee, Sung-Lim -- Stagg, Carole A -- Hoang, Hien G -- Yang, Hsih-Te -- Indig, Fred E -- Wersto, Robert P -- Ko, Minoru S H -- ZIA AG000655-11/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000656-11/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000700-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIA AG000706-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):858-63. doi: 10.1038/nature08882.

    Anti-diabetic drugs inhibit obesity-linked phosphorylation of PPARgamma by Cdk5 (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-24
    Description: Obesity induced in mice by high-fat feeding activates the protein kinase Cdk5 (cyclin-dependent kinase 5) in adipose tissues. This results in phosphorylation of the nuclear receptor PPARgamma (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma), a dominant regulator of adipogenesis and fat cell gene expression, at serine 273. This modification of PPARgamma does not alter its adipogenic capacity, but leads to dysregulation of a large number of genes whose expression is altered in obesity, including a reduction in the expression of the insulin-sensitizing adipokine, adiponectin. The phosphorylation of PPARgamma by Cdk5 is blocked by anti-diabetic PPARgamma ligands, such as rosiglitazone and MRL24. This inhibition works both in vivo and in vitro, and is completely independent of classical receptor transcriptional agonism. Similarly, inhibition of PPARgamma phosphorylation in obese patients by rosiglitazone is very tightly associated with the anti-diabetic effects of this drug. All these findings strongly suggest that Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation of PPARgamma may be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin-resistance, and present an opportunity for development of an improved generation of anti-diabetic drugs through PPARgamma.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2987584/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2987584/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Choi, Jang Hyun -- Banks, Alexander S -- Estall, Jennifer L -- Kajimura, Shingo -- Bostrom, Pontus -- Laznik, Dina -- Ruas, Jorge L -- Chalmers, Michael J -- Kamenecka, Theodore M -- Bluher, Matthias -- Griffin, Patrick R -- Spiegelman, Bruce M -- DK087853/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK31405/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K99 DK087853/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM084041/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM084041-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM084041/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK031405/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK031405-30/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- S10 RR027270/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- U54 MH084512/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- U54 MH084512-020010/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- U54-MH084512/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jul 22;466(7305):451-6. doi: 10.1038/nature09291.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cancer Biology and Division of Metabolism and Chronic Disease, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20651683" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is a disease that is responsible for 880,000 deaths per year worldwide. Vaccine development has proved difficult and resistance has emerged for most antimalarial drugs. To discover new antimalarial chemotypes, we have used a phenotypic forward chemical genetic approach to assay 309,474 chemicals. Here we disclose structures and biological activity of the entire library-many of which showed potent in vitro activity against drug-resistant P. falciparum strains-and detailed profiling of 172 representative candidates. A reverse chemical genetic study identified 19 new inhibitors of 4 validated drug targets and 15 novel binders among 61 malarial proteins. Phylochemogenetic profiling in several organisms revealed similarities between Toxoplasma gondii and mammalian cell lines and dissimilarities between P. falciparum and related protozoans. One exemplar compound displayed efficacy in a murine model. Our findings provide the scientific community with new starting points for malaria drug discovery.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874979/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874979/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guiguemde, W Armand -- Shelat, Anang A -- Bouck, David -- Duffy, Sandra -- Crowther, Gregory J -- Davis, Paul H -- Smithson, David C -- Connelly, Michele -- Clark, Julie -- Zhu, Fangyi -- Jimenez-Diaz, Maria B -- Martinez, Maria S -- Wilson, Emily B -- Tripathi, Abhai K -- Gut, Jiri -- Sharlow, Elizabeth R -- Bathurst, Ian -- El Mazouni, Farah -- Fowble, Joseph W -- Forquer, Isaac -- McGinley, Paula L -- Castro, Steve -- Angulo-Barturen, Inigo -- Ferrer, Santiago -- Rosenthal, Philip J -- Derisi, Joseph L -- Sullivan, David J -- Lazo, John S -- Roos, David S -- Riscoe, Michael K -- Phillips, Margaret A -- Rathod, Pradipsinh K -- Van Voorhis, Wesley C -- Avery, Vicky M -- Guy, R Kiplin -- AI045774/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI053680/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI067921/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI075517/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI075594/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI080625/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI082617/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI28724/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI35707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI53862/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI772682/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA78039/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- F32 AI077268/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- F32 AI077268-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI035707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI035707-140007/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA078039-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001614/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001614-246970/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045774/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045774-09/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI028724/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI028724-17/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI082617/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI082617-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI053862/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI053862-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI075594-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000005/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 20;465(7296):311-5. doi: 10.1038/nature09099.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee 38105, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20485428" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Endophilin marks and controls a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-12-18
    Description: Endocytosis is required for internalization of micronutrients and turnover of membrane components. Endophilin has been assigned as a component of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Here we show in mammalian cells that endophilin marks and controls a fast-acting tubulovesicular endocytic pathway that is independent of AP2 and clathrin, activated upon ligand binding to cargo receptors, inhibited by inhibitors of dynamin, Rac, phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase, PAK1 and actin polymerization, and activated upon Cdc42 inhibition. This pathway is prominent at the leading edges of cells where phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate-produced by the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate by SHIP1 and SHIP2-recruits lamellipodin, which in turn engages endophilin. This pathway mediates the ligand-triggered uptake of several G-protein-coupled receptors such as alpha2a- and beta1-adrenergic, dopaminergic D3 and D4 receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 4, the receptor tyrosine kinases EGFR, HGFR, VEGFR, PDGFR, NGFR and IGF1R, as well as interleukin-2 receptor. We call this new endocytic route fast endophilin-mediated endocytosis (FEME).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Boucrot, Emmanuel -- Ferreira, Antonio P A -- Almeida-Souza, Leonardo -- Debard, Sylvain -- Vallis, Yvonne -- Howard, Gillian -- Bertot, Laetitia -- Sauvonnet, Nathalie -- McMahon, Harvey T -- U105178805/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jan 22;517(7535):460-5. doi: 10.1038/nature14067.

    Cis-interactions between Notch and Delta generate mutually exclusive signalling states (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-27
    Description: The Notch-Delta signalling pathway allows communication between neighbouring cells during development. It has a critical role in the formation of 'fine-grained' patterns, generating distinct cell fates among groups of initially equivalent neighbouring cells and sharply delineating neighbouring regions in developing tissues. The Delta ligand has been shown to have two activities: it transactivates Notch in neighbouring cells and cis-inhibits Notch in its own cell. However, it remains unclear how Notch integrates these two activities and how the resulting system facilitates pattern formation. Here we report the development of a quantitative time-lapse microscopy platform for analysing Notch-Delta signalling dynamics in individual mammalian cells, with the aim of addressing these issues. By controlling both cis- and trans-Delta concentrations, and monitoring the dynamics of a Notch reporter, we measured the combined cis-trans input-output relationship in the Notch-Delta system. The data revealed a striking difference between the responses of Notch to trans- and cis-Delta: whereas the response to trans-Delta is graded, the response to cis-Delta is sharp and occurs at a fixed threshold, independent of trans-Delta. We developed a simple mathematical model that shows how these behaviours emerge from the mutual inactivation of Notch and Delta proteins in the same cell. This interaction generates an ultrasensitive switch between mutually exclusive sending (high Delta/low Notch) and receiving (high Notch/low Delta) signalling states. At the multicellular level, this switch can amplify small differences between neighbouring cells even without transcription-mediated feedback. This Notch-Delta signalling switch facilitates the formation of sharp boundaries and lateral-inhibition patterns in models of development, and provides insight into previously unexplained mutant behaviours.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2886601/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2886601/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sprinzak, David -- Lakhanpal, Amit -- Lebon, Lauren -- Santat, Leah A -- Fontes, Michelle E -- Anderson, Graham A -- Garcia-Ojalvo, Jordi -- Elowitz, Michael B -- F32GM77014/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM08042/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 6;465(7294):86-90. doi: 10.1038/nature08959.
