    Description: Most organisms have circadian clocks consisting of negative feedback loops of gene regulation that facilitate adaptation to cycles of light and darkness. In this study, CRYPTOCHROME (CRY), a protein involved in circadian photoperception in Drosophila, is shown to block the function of PERIOD/TIMELESS (PER/TIM) heterodimeric complexes in a light-dependent fashion. TIM degradation does not occur under these conditions; thus, TIM degradation is uncoupled from abrogation of its function by light. CRY and TIM are part of the same complex and directly interact in yeast in a light-dependent fashion. PER/TIM and CRY influence the subcellular distribution of these protein complexes, which reside primarily in the nucleus after the perception of a light signal. Thus, CRY acts as a circadian photoreceptor by directly interacting with core components of the circadian clock.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ceriani, M F -- Darlington, T K -- Staknis, D -- Mas, P -- Petti, A A -- Weitz, C J -- Kay, S A -- MH-51573/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-59943/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jul 23;285(5427):553-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology and NSF Center for Biological Timing, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10417378" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: T cell immunity directed against tumor-encoded amino acid substitutions occurs in some melanoma patients. This implicates missense mutations as a source of patient-specific neoantigens. However, a systematic evaluation of these putative neoantigens as targets of antitumor immunity is lacking. Moreover, it remains unknown whether vaccination can augment such responses. We found that a dendritic cell vaccine led to an increase in naturally occurring neoantigen-specific immunity and revealed previously undetected human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I-restricted neoantigens in patients with advanced melanoma. The presentation of neoantigens by HLA-A*02:01 in human melanoma was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Vaccination promoted a diverse neoantigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in terms of both TCR-beta usage and clonal composition. Our results demonstrate that vaccination directed at tumor-encoded amino acid substitutions broadens the antigenic breadth and clonal diversity of antitumor immunity.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4549796/" 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/PMC4549796/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carreno, Beatriz M -- Magrini, Vincent -- Becker-Hapak, Michelle -- Kaabinejadian, Saghar -- Hundal, Jasreet -- Petti, Allegra A -- Ly, Amy -- Lie, Wen-Rong -- Hildebrand, William H -- Mardis, Elaine R -- Linette, Gerald P -- 5U54HG00307/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA091842/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA91842/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R21 CA179695/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003079/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 May 15;348(6236):803-8. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa3828.
