    Description: The transcription start site (TSS) determines the length and composition of the 5' UTR and therefore can have a profound effect on translation. Yet, little is known about the mechanism underlying start site selection, particularly from promoters lacking conventional core elements such as TATA-box and Initiator. Here we report a novel mechanism of start site selection in the TATA- and Initiator-less promoter of miR-22, through a strictly localized downstream element termed DTIE and an upstream distal element. Changing the distance between them reduced promoter strength, altered TSS selection and diminished Pol II recruitment. Biochemical assays suggest that DTIE does not serve as a docking site for TFIID, the major core promoter-binding factor. TFIID is recruited to the promoter through DTIE but is dispensable for TSS selection. We determined DTIE consensus and found it to be remarkably prevalent, present at the same TSS downstream location in 20.8% of human promoters, the vast majority of which are TATA-less. Analysis of DTIE in the tumor suppressor p53 confirmed a similar function. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of transcription initiation from TATA-less promoters.

    Description: Apoptosis is a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number in tissues and to eliminate individual cells that threaten the animal's survival. Certain cells have unique sensors, termed death receptors, on their surface. Death receptors detect the presence of extracellular death signals and, in response, they rapidly ignite the cell's intrinsic apoptosis machinery.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ashkenazi, A -- Dixit, V M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Aug 28;281(5381):1305-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Oncology, Genentech Inc., 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA. aa@gene.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9721089" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: CD4 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is thought to interact with nonpolymorphic determinants of class II major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. CD4 is also the receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), binding with high affinity to the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein, gp120. Homolog-scanning mutagenesis was used to identify CD4 regions that are important in class II MHC binding and to determine whether the gp120 and class II MHC binding sites of CD4 are related. Class II MHC binding was abolished by mutations in each of the first three immunoglobulin-like domains of CD4. The gp120 binding could be abolished without affecting class II MHC binding and vice versa, although at least one mutation examined reduced both functions significantly. These findings indicate that, while there may be overlap between the gp120 and class II MHC binding sites of CD4, these sites are distinct and can be separated. Thus it should be possible to design CD4 analogs that can block HIV infectivity but intrinsically lack the ability to affect the normal immune response by binding to class II MHC molecules.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lamarre, D -- Ashkenazi, A -- Fleury, S -- Smith, D H -- Sekaly, R P -- Capon, D J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Aug 18;245(4919):743-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire d'Immunologie, Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal, Quebec, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2549633" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: TRAIL (also called Apo2L) belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family, activates rapid apoptosis in tumor cells, and binds to the death-signaling receptor DR4. Two additional TRAIL receptors were identified. The receptor designated death receptor 5 (DR5) contained a cytoplasmic death domain and induced apoptosis much like DR4. The receptor designated decoy receptor 1 (DcR1) displayed properties of a glycophospholipid-anchored cell surface protein. DcR1 acted as a decoy receptor that inhibited TRAIL signaling. Thus, a cell surface mechanism exists for the regulation of cellular responsiveness to pro-apoptotic stimuli.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sheridan, J P -- Marsters, S A -- Pitti, R M -- Gurney, A -- Skubatch, M -- Baldwin, D -- Ramakrishnan, L -- Gray, C L -- Baker, K -- Wood, W I -- Goddard, A D -- Godowski, P -- Ashkenazi, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Aug 8;277(5327):818-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Oncology, Genentech, South San Francisco, CA 94080-4918, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9242611" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Sirtuins can promote deacetylation of a wide range of substrates in diverse cellular compartments and regulate many cellular processes(1),(2). Recently Narayan et al., reported that SIRT2 was required for necroptosis based on their findings that SIRT2 inhibition, knock-down or knock-out prevented necroptosis. We sought to confirm and explore the role of SIRT2 in necroptosis and tested four different sources of the SIRT2 inhibitor AGK2, three independent siRNAs against SIRT2, and cells from two independently generated Sirt2-/- mouse strains, however we were unable to show that inhibiting or depleting SIRT2 protected cells from necroptosis. Furthermore, Sirt2-/- mice succumbed to TNF induced Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) more rapidly than wild type mice while Ripk3-/- mice were resistant. Our results therefore question the importance of SIRT2 in the necroptosis cell death pathway.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4005920/" 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/PMC4005920/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Newton, Kim -- Hildebrand, Joanne M -- Shen, Zhirong -- Rodriguez, Diego -- Alvarez-Diaz, Silvia -- Petersen, Sean -- Shah, Saumil -- Dugger, Debra L -- Huang, Chunzi -- Auwerx, Johan -- Vandenabeele, Peter -- Green, Douglas R -- Ashkenazi, Avi -- Dixit, Vishva M -- Kaiser, William J -- Strasser, Andreas -- Degterev, Alexei -- Silke, John -- P30 CA021765/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044828/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA169291/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Feb 27;506(7489):E4-6. doi: 10.1038/nature13024.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California 94080, USA. ; 1] The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Victoria 3052, Australia [2] Department of Medical Biology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3050, Australia. ; National Institute of Biological Sciences, Zhongguancun Life Science Park, Beijing 102206, China. ; Department of Immunology, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee 38105, USA. ; Department of Biochemistry, Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, USA. ; Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Emory Vaccine Center, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA. ; Laboratory of Integrative and Systems Physiology, EPFL, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. ; 1] Molecular Signaling and Cell Death Unit, Inflammation Research Center, VIB, 9052 Gent, Belgium [2] Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology, Ghent University, 9052 Gent, Belgium [3] Methusalem BOF09/01M00709, Ghent University, 9052 Gent, Belgium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24572428" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) responsiveness in certain cells depends on the state of cellular differentiation or activation. Here an in vitro developmental system was used to show that IFN-gamma produced during generation of the CD4+ T helper cell type 1 (TH1) subset extinguishes expression of the IFN-gamma receptor beta subunit, resulting in TH1 cells that are unresponsive to IFN-gamma. This beta chain loss also occurred in IFN-gamma-treated TH2 cells and thus represents a specific response of CD4+ T cells to IFN-gamma rather than a TH1-specific differentiation event. These results define a mechanism of cellular desensitization where a cytokine down-regulates expression of a receptor subunit required primarily for signaling and not ligand binding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bach, E A -- Szabo, S J -- Dighe, A S -- Ashkenazi, A -- Aguet, M -- Murphy, K M -- Schreiber, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Nov 17;270(5239):1215-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7502050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Protein folding by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is physiologically critical; its disruption causes ER stress and augments disease. ER stress activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. If stress persists, the UPR induces apoptotic cell death, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that unmitigated ER stress promoted apoptosis through cell-autonomous, UPR-controlled activation of death receptor 5 (DR5). ER stressors induced DR5 transcription via the UPR mediator CHOP; however, the UPR sensor IRE1alpha transiently catalyzed DR5 mRNA decay, which allowed time for adaptation. Persistent ER stress built up intracellular DR5 protein, driving ligand-independent DR5 activation and apoptosis engagement via caspase-8. Thus, DR5 integrates opposing UPR signals to couple ER stress and apoptotic cell fate.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4284148/" 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/PMC4284148/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lu, Min -- Lawrence, David A -- Marsters, Scot -- Acosta-Alvear, Diego -- Kimmig, Philipp -- Mendez, Aaron S -- Paton, Adrienne W -- Paton, James C -- Walter, Peter -- Ashkenazi, Avi -- R01 GM032384/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM064337/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Jul 4;345(6192):98-101. doi: 10.1126/science.1254312.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cancer Immunology, Genentech, Inc., 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA. ; Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA.Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. ; Research Centre for Infectious Diseases, School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, University of Adelaide, South Australia, 5005, Australia. ; Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA.Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. peter@walterlab.ucsf.edu aa@gene.com. ; Cancer Immunology, Genentech, Inc., 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA. peter@walterlab.ucsf.edu aa@gene.com.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24994655" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A partial amino acid sequence obtained for porcine atrial muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was used to isolate complementary DNA clones containing the complete receptor coding region. The deduced 466-amino acid polypeptide exhibits extensive structural and sequence homology with other receptors coupled to guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins (for example, the beta-adrenergic receptor and rhodopsins); this similarity predicts a structure of seven membrane-spanning regions distinguished by the disposition of a large cytoplasmic domain. Stable transfection of the Chinese hamster ovary cell line with the atrial receptor complementary DNA leads to the binding of muscarinic antagonists in these cells with affinities characteristic of the M2 receptor subtype. The atrial muscarinic receptor is encoded by a unique gene consisting of a single coding exon and multiple, alternatively spliced 5' noncoding regions. The atrial receptor is distinct from the cerebral muscarinic receptor gene product, sharing only 38% overall amino acid homology and possessing a completely nonhomologous large cytoplasmic domain, suggesting a role for the latter region in differential effector coupling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Peralta, E G -- Winslow, J W -- Peterson, G L -- Smith, D H -- Ashkenazi, A -- Ramachandran, J -- Schimerlik, M I -- Capon, D J -- CA16417/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL23632/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 May 1;236(4801):600-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3107123" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: To investigate whether a particular receptor subtype can be coupled to multiple effector systems, recombinant M2 muscarinic receptors were expressed in cells lacking endogenous receptor. The muscarinic agonist carbachol both inhibited adenylyl cyclase and stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis. The stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis was significantly less efficient and more dependent on receptor levels than the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Both responses were mediated by guanine nucleotide binding proteins, as evidenced by their inhibition by pertussis toxin; the more efficiently coupled adenylyl cyclase response was significantly more sensitive. Thus, individual subtypes of a given receptor are capable of regulating multiple effector pathways.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ashkenazi, A -- Winslow, J W -- Peralta, E G -- Peterson, G L -- Schimerlik, M I -- Capon, D J -- Ramachandran, J -- CA16417/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL23632/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Oct 30;238(4827):672-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Developmental Biology, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA 94080.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2823384" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
