    Description: Multiple death signals influence mitochondria during apoptosis, yet the critical initiating event for mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo has been unclear. tBID, the caspase-activated form of a "BH3-domain-only" BCL-2 family member, triggers the homooligomerization of "multidomain" conserved proapoptotic family members BAK or BAX, resulting in the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. We find that cells lacking both Bax and Bak, but not cells lacking only one of these components, are completely resistant to tBID-induced cytochrome c release and apoptosis. Moreover, doubly deficient cells are resistant to multiple apoptotic stimuli that act through disruption of mitochondrial function: staurosporine, ultraviolet radiation, growth factor deprivation, etoposide, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress stimuli thapsigargin and tunicamycin. Thus, activation of a "multidomain" proapoptotic member, BAX or BAK, appears to be an essential gateway to mitochondrial dysfunction required for cell death in response to diverse stimuli.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3049805/" 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/PMC3049805/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wei, M C -- Zong, W X -- Cheng, E H -- Lindsten, T -- Panoutsakopoulou, V -- Ross, A J -- Roth, K A -- MacGregor, G R -- Thompson, C B -- Korsmeyer, S J -- 5T32AT09361/AT/NCCIH NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD036437-02/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD036437-03/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD036437-04/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD036437-05/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01CA50239/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37CA4802/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Apr 27;292(5517):727-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Departments of Pathology and Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11326099" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Expression of the human T cell receptor (TCR) alpha gene is regulated by a T cell-specific transcriptional enhancer that is located 4.5 kilobases (kb) 3' to the C alpha gene segment. The core enhancer contains two nuclear protein binding sites, T alpha 1 and T alpha 2, which are essential for full enhancer activity. T alpha 1 contains a consensus cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element (CRE) and binds a set of ubiquitously expressed CRE binding proteins. In contrast, the transcription factors that interact with the T alpha 2 site have not been defined. In this report, a lambda gt11 expression protocol was used to isolate a complementary DNA (cDNA) that programs the expression of a T alpha 2 binding protein. DNA sequence analysis demonstrated that this clone encodes the human ets-1 proto-oncogene. Lysogen extracts produced with this cDNA clone contained a beta-galactosidase-Ets-1 fusion protein that bound specifically to a synthetic T alpha 2 oligonucleotide. The Ets-1 binding site was localized to a 17-base pair (bp) region from the 3' end of T alpha 2. Mutation of five nucleotides within this sequence abolished both Ets-1 binding and the activity of the TCR alpha enhancer in T cells. These results demonstrate that Ets-1 binds in a sequence-specific fashion to the human TCR alpha enhancer and suggest that this developmentally regulated proto-oncogene functions in regulating TCR alpha gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ho, I C -- Bhat, N K -- Gottschalk, L R -- Lindsten, T -- Thompson, C B -- Papas, T S -- Leiden, J M -- AI-29673/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Nov 9;250(4982):814-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ann Arbor, MI.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2237431" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Activated CD8+ T cells play a critical role in host defense against viruses, intracellular microbes, and tumors. It is not clear if a key regulatory transcription factor unites the effector functions of CD8+ T cells. We now show that Eomesodermin (Eomes), a paralogue of T-bet, is induced in effector CD8+ T cells in vitro and in vivo. Ectopic expression of Eomes was sufficient to invoke attributes of effector CD8+ T cells, including interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), perforin, and granzyme B. Loss-of-function analysis suggests Eomes may also be necessary for full effector differentiation of CD8+ T cells. We suggest that Eomesodermin is likely to complement the actions of T-bet and act as a key regulatory gene in the development of cell-mediated immunity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pearce, Erika L -- Mullen, Alan C -- Martins, Gislaine A -- Krawczyk, Connie M -- Hutchins, Anne S -- Zediak, Valerie P -- Banica, Monica -- DiCioccio, Catherine B -- Gross, Darrick A -- Mao, Chai-An -- Shen, Hao -- Cereb, Nezih -- Yang, Soo Y -- Lindsten, Tullia -- Rossant, Janet -- Hunter, Christopher A -- Reiner, Steven L -- AI-042370/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM-07229/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 7;302(5647):1041-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute, and Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14605368" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Despite evidence that protein kinases are regulators of apoptosis, a specific role for phosphatases in regulating cell survival has not been established. Here we show that alpha4, a noncatalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), is required to repress apoptosis in murine cells. alpha4 is a nonredundant regulator of the dephosphorylation of the transcription factors c-Jun and p53. As a result of alpha4 deletion, multiple proapoptotic genes were transcribed. Either inhibition of new protein synthesis or Bcl-xL overexpression suppressed apoptosis initiated by alpha4 deletion. Thus, mammalian cell viability depends on repression of transcription-initiated apoptosis mediated by a component of PP2A.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kong, Mei -- Fox, Casey J -- Mu, James -- Solt, Laura -- Xu, Anne -- Cinalli, Ryan M -- Birnbaum, Morris J -- Lindsten, Tullia -- Thompson, Craig B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Oct 22;306(5696):695-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15499020" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: MicroRNAs repress mRNA translation by guiding Argonaute proteins to partially complementary binding sites, primarily within the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs. In cell lines, Argonaute-bound microRNAs exist mainly in high molecular weight RNA-induced silencing complexes (HMW-RISC) associated with target mRNA. Here we demonstrate that most adult tissues contain...

    Description: The CD28 homodimer is thought to function as a signal transducing receptor during activation of T cells. Evidence is presented that the degree of aggregation of CD28 on the cell surface regulates two distinct CD28-associated signals. Binding of bivalent CD28 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 9.3 upregulates lymphokine production by messenger RNA (mRNA) stabilization, without direct initiation of lymphokine mRNA transcription. This signal was not dependent on inositol phospholipid production or activation of a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). In contrast, further crosslinking of CD28 on the cell surface rapidly induced formation of large amounts of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) and increased cytoplasmic calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i), but did not stimulate PTK. CD28 crosslinking directly activated a subset of resting T cells, since CD25 (interleukin [IL]-2 receptor alpha chain) mRNA was rapidly induced in purified T cells, and proliferation, even without addition of exogenous IL-2, was sometimes observed. CD25 expression was detected on the cell surface of approximately 20% of CD4+ T cells. The degree of CD28 aggregation required for activation was investigated by preparing soluble 9.3 x 9.3 conjugates ranging in size from approximately 300 Kd to greater than 1,000 Kd, and comparing their function in T-cell proliferation assays with phorbol-12-myristate-13- acetate (PMA), anti-CD3, or IL-2. There was a correlation between conjugate size and proliferation with IL-2, whereas costimulation with PMA or CD3 was optimized at a lower degree of CD28 aggregation. The inositol phospholipid (InsP) generation and increase in [Ca2+]i after CD28 receptor aggregation appeared to proceed through a pathway different from the CD3/T-cell receptor (TCR) pathway since it was enhanced by pretreatment with PMA, while the InsP and [Ca2+]i signal from crosslinking CD3 was suppressed by PMA. Furthermore, the proliferation response to CD28 aggregation was resistant to inhibition by CD3 modulation. Thus, CD28 aggregation appears to trigger a phospholipase C activation pathway that differs from the CD3/TCR-linked pathway.
