    Description: SNPs on a chromosome 16 locus encompassing FTO , as well as IRX3, 5 , 6, FTM and FTL are robustly associated with human obesity. FTO catalyzes the Fe(II)- and 2OG-dependent demethylation of RNA and is an amino acid (AA) sensor that couples AA levels to mTORC1 signaling, thereby playing a key role in regulating growth and translation. However, the cellular compartment in which FTO primarily resides to perform its biochemical role is unclear. Here, we undertake live cell imaging of GFP-FTO, and demonstrate that FTO resides in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. We show using ‘fluorescence loss in photo bleaching’ (FLIP) that a mobile FTO fraction shuttles between both compartments. We performed a proteomic study and identified Exportin 2 (XPO2), one of a family of proteins that mediates the shuttling of proteins between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, as a binding partner of FTO. Finally, using deletion studies, we show that the N-terminus of FTO is required for its ability to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In conclusion, FTO is present in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, with a mobile fraction that shuttles between both cellular compartments, possibly by interaction with XPO2.

    Description: An effective host immune response to mycobacterial infection must control pathogen dissemination without inducing immunopathology. Constitutive overexpression of mycobacterial heat shock protein (myHsp70) is associated with impaired bacterial persistence, but the immune-mediated mechanisms are unknown. We found that myHsp70, in addition to enhancing antigen delivery to human dendritic cells, signaled through the CCR5 chemokine receptor, promoting dendritic cell aggregation, immune synapse formation between dendritic cells and T cells, and the generation of effector immune responses. Thus, CCR5 acts as a pattern-recognition receptor for myHsp70, which may have implications for both the pathophysiology of tuberculosis and the use of myHsps in tumor-directed immunotherapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Floto, R Andres -- MacAry, Paul A -- Boname, Jessica M -- Mien, Tan Suet -- Kampmann, Beate -- Hair, James R -- Huey, Oh Seen -- Houben, Edith N G -- Pieters, Jean -- Day, Cheryl -- Oehlmann, Wulf -- Singh, Mahavir -- Smith, Kenneth G C -- Lehner, Paul J -- 077273/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0600823/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G108/485/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G9800943/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Oct 20;314(5798):454-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2XY, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17053144" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The reactivation of latent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection after transplantation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In vivo, myeloid cells and their progenitors are an important site of HCMV latency, whose establishment and/or maintenance require expression of the viral transcript UL138. Using stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture-based mass spectrometry, we found a dramatic UL138-mediated loss of cell surface multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1) and the reduction of substrate export by this transporter. Latency-associated loss of MRP1 and accumulation of the cytotoxic drug vincristine, an MRP1 substrate, depleted virus from naturally latent CD14(+) and CD34(+) progenitors, all of which are in vivo sites of latency. The UL138-mediated loss of MRP1 provides a marker for detecting latent HCMV infection and a therapeutic target for eliminating latently infected cells before transplantation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3683642/" 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/PMC3683642/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weekes, Michael P -- Tan, Shireen Y L -- Poole, Emma -- Talbot, Suzanne -- Antrobus, Robin -- Smith, Duncan L -- Montag, Christina -- Gygi, Steven P -- Sinclair, John H -- Lehner, Paul J -- 084957/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 084957/Z/08/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093966/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093966/Z/10/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 100140/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0701279/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Apr 12;340(6129):199-202. doi: 10.1126/science.1235047.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23580527" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Newly assembled major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, together with the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calreticulin, interact with the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) through a molecule called tapasin. The molecular cloning of tapasin revealed it to be a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by an MHC-linked gene. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily with a probable cytoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. Up to four MHC class I-tapasin complexes were found to bind to each TAP molecule. Expression of tapasin in a negative mutant human cell line (220) restored class I-TAP association and normal class I cell surface expression. Tapasin expression also corrected the defective recognition of virus-infected 220 cells by class I-restricted cytotoxic T cells, establishing a critical functional role for tapasin in MHC class I-restricted antigen processing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ortmann, B -- Copeman, J -- Lehner, P J -- Sadasivan, B -- Herberg, J A -- Grandea, A G -- Riddell, S R -- Tampe, R -- Spies, T -- Trowsdale, J -- Cresswell, P -- AI30581/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Aug 29;277(5330):1306-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Section of Immunobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, 310 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06510, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9271576" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Forward genetic screens in Drosophila melanogaster for modifiers of position-effect variegation have revealed the basis of much of our understanding of heterochromatin. We took an analogous approach to identify genes required for epigenetic repression in human cells. A nonlethal forward genetic screen in near-haploid KBM7 cells identified the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex, comprising three poorly characterized proteins, TASOR, MPP8, and periphilin; this complex is absent from Drosophila but is conserved from fish to humans. Loss of HUSH components resulted in decreased H3K9me3 both at endogenous genomic loci and at retroviruses integrated into heterochromatin. Our results suggest that the HUSH complex is recruited to genomic loci rich in H3K9me3, where subsequent recruitment of the methyltransferase SETDB1 is required for further H3K9me3 deposition to maintain transcriptional silencing.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4487827/" 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/PMC4487827/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tchasovnikarova, Iva A -- Timms, Richard T -- Matheson, Nicholas J -- Wals, Kim -- Antrobus, Robin -- Gottgens, Berthold -- Dougan, Gordon -- Dawson, Mark A -- Lehner, Paul J -- 100140/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 101835/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 101835/Z/13/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Jun 26;348(6242):1481-5. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa7227.

    Notes: Abstract  Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are heterodimers of a class I heavy chain and β2-microglobulin that bind peptides supplied by the MHC region-encoded transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP). Peptide binding by class I heterodimers is necessary for their maturation into stable complexes and is dependent on their physical association with TAP. In human mutant 721.220 cells, however, a novel genetic defect causes the failure of class I heterodimers to associate with TAP. This deficiency correlates with lack of expression of a glycoprotein, tapasin (TAP-associated glycoprotein), which has been found in association with class I heterodimers and TAP. Employing a transcomplementation analysis, we obtained evidence co-localizing the genetic defect of mutant 220 cells and the structural or a regulatory gene controlling the expression of tapasin on the short arm of chromosome 6, which includes the MHC. Expression of tapasin and the normal interaction of class I heterodimers with TAP are concomitantly restored, indicating the probable function of tapasin as a physical link between these complexes. In further support of this model, the absence of tapasin in mutant 220 cells correlates with reduced class I heterodimer stability, suggesting that tapasin may stabilize class I heterodimers and thereby enhance their association with TAP. These results further implicate tapasin in a mechanism that promotes peptide binding by class I heterodimers through their interaction with TAP.
