    Riboflavin kinase couples TNF receptor 1 to NADPH oxidase (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-07-31
    Description: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidase function as defence and signalling molecules related to innate immunity and various cellular responses. The activation of NADPH oxidase in response to plasma membrane receptor activation depends on the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic oxidase subunits, their translocation to membranes and the assembly of all NADPH oxidase components. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a prominent stimulus of ROS production, but the molecular mechanisms by which TNF activates NADPH oxidase are poorly understood. Here we identify riboflavin kinase (RFK, formerly known as flavokinase) as a previously unrecognized TNF-receptor-1 (TNFR1)-binding protein that physically and functionally couples TNFR1 to NADPH oxidase. In mouse and human cells, RFK binds to both the TNFR1-death domain and to p22(phox), the common subunit of NADPH oxidase isoforms. RFK-mediated bridging of TNFR1 and p22(phox) is a prerequisite for TNF-induced but not for Toll-like-receptor-induced ROS production. Exogenous flavin mononucleotide or FAD was able to substitute fully for TNF stimulation of NADPH oxidase in RFK-deficient cells. RFK is rate-limiting in the synthesis of FAD, an essential prosthetic group of NADPH oxidase. The results suggest that TNF, through the activation of RFK, enhances the incorporation of FAD in NADPH oxidase enzymes, a critical step for the assembly and activation of NADPH oxidase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yazdanpanah, Benjamin -- Wiegmann, Katja -- Tchikov, Vladimir -- Krut, Oleg -- Pongratz, Carola -- Schramm, Michael -- Kleinridders, Andre -- Wunderlich, Thomas -- Kashkar, Hamid -- Utermohlen, Olaf -- Bruning, Jens C -- Schutze, Stefan -- Kronke, Martin -- England -- Nature. 2009 Aug 27;460(7259):1159-63. doi: 10.1038/nature08206.

    DNA damage in germ cells induces an innate immune response that triggers systemic stress resistance (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-27
    Description: DNA damage responses have been well characterized with regard to their cell-autonomous checkpoint functions leading to cell cycle arrest, senescence and apoptosis. In contrast, systemic responses to tissue-specific genome instability remain poorly understood. In adult Caenorhabditis elegans worms germ cells undergo mitotic and meiotic cell divisions, whereas somatic tissues are entirely post-mitotic. Consequently, DNA damage checkpoints function specifically in the germ line, whereas somatic tissues in adult C. elegans are highly radio-resistant. Some DNA repair systems such as global-genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) remove lesions specifically in germ cells. Here we investigated how genome instability in germ cells affects somatic tissues in C. elegans. We show that exogenous and endogenous DNA damage in germ cells evokes elevated resistance to heat and oxidative stress. The somatic stress resistance is mediated by the ERK MAP kinase MPK-1 in germ cells that triggers the induction of putative secreted peptides associated with innate immunity. The innate immune response leads to activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in somatic tissues, which confers enhanced proteostasis and systemic stress resistance. We propose that elevated systemic stress resistance promotes endurance of somatic tissues to allow delay of progeny production when germ cells are genomically compromised.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4120807/" 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/PMC4120807/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ermolaeva, Maria A -- Segref, Alexandra -- Dakhovnik, Alexander -- Ou, Hui-Ling -- Schneider, Jennifer I -- Utermohlen, Olaf -- Hoppe, Thorsten -- Schumacher, Bjorn -- 260383/European Research Council/International -- P40 OD010440/OD/NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Sep 19;501(7467):416-20. doi: 10.1038/nature12452.
