    Description: Inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas are benign liver tumours defined by the presence of inflammatory infiltrates and by the increased expression of inflammatory proteins in tumour hepatocytes. Here we show a marked activation of the interleukin (IL)-6 signalling pathway in this tumour type; sequencing candidate genes pinpointed this response to somatic gain-of-function mutations in the IL6ST gene, which encodes the signalling co-receptor gp130. Indeed, 60% of inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas harbour small in-frame deletions that target the binding site of gp130 for IL-6, and expression of four different gp130 mutants in hepatocellular cells activates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the absence of ligand. Furthermore, analysis of hepatocellular carcinomas revealed that rare gp130 alterations are always accompanied by beta-catenin-activating mutations, suggesting a cooperative effect of these signalling pathways in the malignant conversion of hepatocytes. The recurrent gain-of-function gp130 mutations in these human hepatocellular adenomas fully explains activation of the acute inflammatory phase observed in tumourous hepatocytes, and suggests that similar alterations may occur in other inflammatory epithelial tumours with STAT3 activation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2695248/" 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/PMC2695248/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rebouissou, Sandra -- Amessou, Mohamed -- Couchy, Gabrielle -- Poussin, Karine -- Imbeaud, Sandrine -- Pilati, Camilla -- Izard, Tina -- Balabaud, Charles -- Bioulac-Sage, Paulette -- Zucman-Rossi, Jessica -- AI055894/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI067949/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM071596/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jan 8;457(7226):200-4. doi: 10.1038/nature07475.

    Description: E6 viral oncoproteins are key players in epithelial tumors induced by papillomaviruses in vertebrates, including cervical cancer in humans. E6 proteins target many host proteins by specifically interacting with acidic LxxLL motifs. We solved the crystal structures of bovine (BPV1) and human (HPV16) papillomavirus E6 proteins bound to LxxLL peptides from the focal adhesion protein paxillin and the ubiquitin ligase E6AP, respectively. In both E6 proteins, two zinc domains and a linker helix form a basic-hydrophobic pocket, which captures helical LxxLL motifs in a way compatible with other interaction modes. Mutational inactivation of the LxxLL binding pocket disrupts the oncogenic activities of both E6 proteins. This work reveals the structural basis of both the multifunctionality and the oncogenicity of E6 proteins.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3899395/" 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/PMC3899395/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zanier, Katia -- Charbonnier, Sebastian -- Sidi, Abdellahi Ould M'hamed Ould -- McEwen, Alastair G -- Ferrario, Maria Giovanna -- Poussin-Courmontagne, Pierre -- Cura, Vincent -- Brimer, Nicole -- Babah, Khaled Ould -- Ansari, Tina -- Muller, Isabelle -- Stote, Roland H -- Cavarelli, Jean -- Vande Pol, Scott -- Trave, Gilles -- CA08093/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA120352/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA134737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA044579/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA134737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA134737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Feb 8;339(6120):694-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1229934.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biotechnologie et Signalisation Cellulaire UMR 7242, Ecole Superieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg, Boulevard Sebastien Brant, BP 10413, F-67412 Illkirch, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23393263" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
