    Description: Centrioles are ancient organelles that build centrosomes, the major microtubule-organizing centers of animal cells. Extra centrosomes are a common feature of cancer cells. To investigate the importance of centrosomes in the proliferation of normal and cancer cells, we developed centrinone, a reversible inhibitor of Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4), a serine-threonine protein kinase that initiates centriole assembly. Centrinone treatment caused centrosome depletion in human and other vertebrate cells. Centrosome loss irreversibly arrested normal cells in a senescence-like G1 state by a p53-dependent mechanism that was independent of DNA damage, stress, Hippo signaling, extended mitotic duration, or segregation errors. In contrast, cancer cell lines with normal or amplified centrosome numbers could proliferate indefinitely after centrosome loss. Upon centrinone washout, each cancer cell line returned to an intrinsic centrosome number "set point." Thus, cells with cancer-associated mutations fundamentally differ from normal cells in their response to centrosome loss.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4764081/" 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/PMC4764081/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wong, Yao Liang -- Anzola, John V -- Davis, Robert L -- Yoon, Michelle -- Motamedi, Amir -- Kroll, Ashley -- Seo, Chanmee P -- Hsia, Judy E -- Kim, Sun K -- Mitchell, Jennifer W -- Mitchell, Brian J -- Desai, Arshad -- Gahman, Timothy C -- Shiau, Andrew K -- Oegema, Karen -- GM074207/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM089970/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM103403/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM089970/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Jun 5;348(6239):1155-60. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa5111.

    Description: Effective uptake of fermentable substrates is a fundamentally important aspect of any fermentation process. The solventogenic bacterium Clostridium beijerinckii is noted for its ability to ferment a wide range of carbohydrates, yet few of its sugar transport systems have been characterized. In common with other anaerobes, C. beijerinckii shows a marked dependence on the PEP-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) for sugar accumulation. In this study, the gene cbe0751 encoding the sugar-specific domains of a phosphotransferase belonging to the glucose family was cloned into an Escherichia coli strain lacking the ability to take up and phosphorylate glucose. Transformants gained ability to ferment glucose, and also mannose, and further analysis of a selected transformant demonstrated that it could take up and phosphorylate glucose, confirming that cbe0751 encodes a glucose PTS which also recognizes mannose as a substrate. RT-PCR analysis showed that cbe0751 was expressed in cultures grown on both substrates, but also to varying extents during growth on some other carbon sources. Although analogue inhibition studies suggested that Cbe0751 is not the only glucose PTS in C. beijerinckii , this system should nevertheless be regarded as a potential target for metabolic engineering to generate a strain showing improved sugar fermentation properties.
