    The mutation spectrum revealed by paired genome sequences from a lung cancer patient (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-28
    Description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small-cell lung carcinomas in smokers being the predominant form of the disease. Although previous studies have identified important common somatic mutations in lung cancers, they have primarily focused on a limited set of genes and have thus provided a constrained view of the mutational spectrum. Recent cancer sequencing efforts have used next-generation sequencing technologies to provide a genome-wide view of mutations in leukaemia, breast cancer and cancer cell lines. Here we present the complete sequences of a primary lung tumour (60x coverage) and adjacent normal tissue (46x). Comparing the two genomes, we identify a wide variety of somatic variations, including 〉50,000 high-confidence single nucleotide variants. We validated 530 somatic single nucleotide variants in this tumour, including one in the KRAS proto-oncogene and 391 others in coding regions, as well as 43 large-scale structural variations. These constitute a large set of new somatic mutations and yield an estimated 17.7 per megabase genome-wide somatic mutation rate. Notably, we observe a distinct pattern of selection against mutations within expressed genes compared to non-expressed genes and in promoter regions up to 5 kilobases upstream of all protein-coding genes. Furthermore, we observe a higher rate of amino acid-changing mutations in kinase genes. We present a comprehensive view of somatic alterations in a single lung tumour, and provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of distinct selective pressures present within the tumour environment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, William -- Jiang, Zhaoshi -- Liu, Jinfeng -- Haverty, Peter M -- Guan, Yinghui -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Yue, Peng -- Zhang, Yan -- Pant, Krishna P -- Bhatt, Deepali -- Ha, Connie -- Johnson, Stephanie -- Kennemer, Michael I -- Mohan, Sankar -- Nazarenko, Igor -- Watanabe, Colin -- Sparks, Andrew B -- Shames, David S -- Gentleman, Robert -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- Stern, Howard -- Pandita, Ajay -- Ballinger, Dennis G -- Drmanac, Radoje -- Modrusan, Zora -- Seshagiri, Somasekar -- Zhang, Zemin -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 27;465(7297):473-7. doi: 10.1038/nature09004.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Genentech Inc., South San Francisco, California 94080, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20505728" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structural basis for the subunit assembly of the anaphase-promoting complex (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-02-11
    Description: The anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) is an unusually large E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for regulating defined cell cycle transitions. Information on how its 13 constituent proteins are assembled, and how they interact with co-activators, substrates and regulatory proteins is limited. Here, we describe a recombinant expression system that allows the reconstitution of holo APC/C and its sub-complexes that, when combined with electron microscopy, mass spectrometry and docking of crystallographic and homology-derived coordinates, provides a precise definition of the organization and structure of all essential APC/C subunits, resulting in a pseudo-atomic model for 70% of the APC/C. A lattice-like appearance of the APC/C is generated by multiple repeat motifs of most APC/C subunits. Three conserved tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) subunits (Cdc16, Cdc23 and Cdc27) share related superhelical homo-dimeric architectures that assemble to generate a quasi-symmetrical structure. Our structure explains how this TPR sub-complex, together with additional scaffolding subunits (Apc1, Apc4 and Apc5), coordinate the juxtaposition of the catalytic and substrate recognition module (Apc2, Apc11 and Apc10 (also known as Doc1)), and TPR-phosphorylation sites, relative to co-activator, regulatory proteins and substrates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schreiber, Anne -- Stengel, Florian -- Zhang, Ziguo -- Enchev, Radoslav I -- Kong, Eric H -- Morris, Edward P -- Robinson, Carol V -- da Fonseca, Paula C A -- Barford, David -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 Feb 10;470(7333):227-32. doi: 10.1038/nature09756.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Structural Biology, Institute of Cancer Research, Chester Beatty Laboratories, 237 Fulham Road, London, SW3 6JB, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307936" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Tumour-infiltrating Gr-1+ myeloid cells antagonize senescence in cancer (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-08-27
    Description: Aberrant activation of oncogenes or loss of tumour suppressor genes opposes malignant transformation by triggering a stable arrest in cell growth, which is termed cellular senescence. This process is finely tuned by both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms that regulate the entry of tumour cells to senescence. Whether tumour-infiltrating immune cells can oppose senescence is unknown. Here we show that at the onset of senescence, PTEN null prostate tumours in mice are massively infiltrated by a population of CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid cells that protect a fraction of proliferating tumour cells from senescence, thus sustaining tumour growth. Mechanistically, we found that Gr-1(+) cells antagonize senescence in a paracrine manner by interfering with the senescence-associated secretory phenotype of the tumour through the secretion of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA). Strikingly, Pten-loss-induced cellular senescence was enhanced in vivo when Il1ra knockout myeloid cells were adoptively transferred to PTEN null mice. Therapeutically, docetaxel-induced senescence and efficacy were higher in PTEN null tumours when the percentage of tumour-infiltrating CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid cells was reduced using an antagonist of CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2). Taken together, our findings identify a novel non-cell-autonomous network, established by innate immunity, that controls senescence evasion and chemoresistance. Targeting this network provides novel opportunities for cancer therapy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Di Mitri, Diletta -- Toso, Alberto -- Chen, Jing Jing -- Sarti, Manuela -- Pinton, Sandra -- Jost, Tanja Rezzonico -- D'Antuono, Rocco -- Montani, Erica -- Garcia-Escudero, Ramon -- Guccini, Ilaria -- Da Silva-Alvarez, Sabela -- Collado, Manuel -- Eisenberger, Mario -- Zhang, Zhe -- Catapano, Carlo -- Grassi, Fabio -- Alimonti, Andrea -- England -- Nature. 2014 Nov 6;515(7525):134-7. doi: 10.1038/nature13638.

    Suppression of neuroinflammation by astrocytic dopamine D2 receptors via alphaB-crystallin (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-12-18
    Description: Chronic neuroinflammation is a common feature of the ageing brain and some neurodegenerative disorders. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of innate immunity in the central nervous system remain elusive. Here we show that the astrocytic dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) modulates innate immunity through alphaB-crystallin (CRYAB), which is known to suppress neuroinflammation. We demonstrate that knockout mice lacking Drd2 showed remarkable inflammatory response in multiple central nervous system regions and increased the vulnerability of nigral dopaminergic neurons to neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced neurotoxicity. Astrocytes null for Drd2 became hyper-responsive to immune stimuli with a marked reduction in the level of CRYAB. Preferential ablation of Drd2 in astrocytes robustly activated astrocytes in the substantia nigra. Gain- or loss-of-function studies showed that CRYAB is critical for DRD2-mediated modulation of innate immune response in astrocytes. Furthermore, treatment of wild-type mice with the selective DRD2 agonist quinpirole increased resistance of the nigral dopaminergic neurons to MPTP through partial suppression of inflammation. Our study indicates that astrocytic DRD2 activation normally suppresses neuroinflammation in the central nervous system through a CRYAB-dependent mechanism, and provides a new strategy for targeting the astrocyte-mediated innate immune response in the central nervous system during ageing and disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shao, Wei -- Zhang, Shu-zhen -- Tang, Mi -- Zhang, Xin-hua -- Zhou, Zheng -- Yin, Yan-qing -- Zhou, Qin-bo -- Huang, Yuan-yuan -- Liu, Ying-jun -- Wawrousek, Eric -- Chen, Teng -- Li, Sheng-bin -- Xu, Ming -- Zhou, Jiang-ning -- Hu, Gang -- Zhou, Jia-wei -- England -- Nature. 2013 Feb 7;494(7435):90-4. doi: 10.1038/nature11748.

    Structure of the mitotic checkpoint complex (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-23
    Description: In mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures genome stability by delaying chromosome segregation until all sister chromatids have achieved bipolar attachment to the mitotic spindle. The SAC is imposed by the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), whose assembly is catalysed by unattached chromosomes and which binds and inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), the E3 ubiquitin ligase that initiates chromosome segregation. Here, using the crystal structure of Schizosaccharomyces pombe MCC (a complex of mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint proteins Mad2, Mad3 and APC/C co-activator protein Cdc20), we reveal the molecular basis of MCC-mediated APC/C inhibition and the regulation of MCC assembly. The MCC inhibits the APC/C by obstructing degron recognition sites on Cdc20 (the substrate recruitment subunit of the APC/C) and displacing Cdc20 to disrupt formation of a bipartite D-box receptor with the APC/C subunit Apc10. Mad2, in the closed conformation (C-Mad2), stabilizes the complex by optimally positioning the Mad3 KEN-box degron to bind Cdc20. Mad3 and p31(comet) (also known as MAD2L1-binding protein) compete for the same C-Mad2 interface, which explains how p31(comet) disrupts MCC assembly to antagonize the SAC. This study shows how APC/C inhibition is coupled to degron recognition by co-activators.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chao, William C H -- Kulkarni, Kiran -- Zhang, Ziguo -- Kong, Eric H -- Barford, David -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2012 Mar 21;484(7393):208-13. doi: 10.1038/nature10896.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Structural Biology, Institute of Cancer Research, Chester Beatty Laboratories, 237 Fulham Road, London, SW3 6JB, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22437499" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Diverse somatic mutation patterns and pathway alterations in human cancers (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-30
    Description: The systematic characterization of somatic mutations in cancer genomes is essential for understanding the disease and for developing targeted therapeutics. Here we report the identification of 2,576 somatic mutations across approximately 1,800 megabases of DNA representing 1,507 coding genes from 441 tumours comprising breast, lung, ovarian and prostate cancer types and subtypes. We found that mutation rates and the sets of mutated genes varied substantially across tumour types and subtypes. Statistical analysis identified 77 significantly mutated genes including protein kinases, G-protein-coupled receptors such as GRM8, BAI3, AGTRL1 (also called APLNR) and LPHN3, and other druggable targets. Integrated analysis of somatic mutations and copy number alterations identified another 35 significantly altered genes including GNAS, indicating an expanded role for galpha subunits in multiple cancer types. Furthermore, our experimental analyses demonstrate the functional roles of mutant GNAO1 (a Galpha subunit) and mutant MAP2K4 (a member of the JNK signalling pathway) in oncogenesis. Our study provides an overview of the mutational spectra across major human cancers and identifies several potential therapeutic targets.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kan, Zhengyan -- Jaiswal, Bijay S -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Janakiraman, Vasantharajan -- Bhatt, Deepali -- Stern, Howard M -- Yue, Peng -- Haverty, Peter M -- Bourgon, Richard -- Zheng, Jianbiao -- Moorhead, Martin -- Chaudhuri, Subhra -- Tomsho, Lynn P -- Peters, Brock A -- Pujara, Kanan -- Cordes, Shaun -- Davis, David P -- Carlton, Victoria E H -- Yuan, Wenlin -- Li, Li -- Wang, Weiru -- Eigenbrot, Charles -- Kaminker, Joshua S -- Eberhard, David A -- Waring, Paul -- Schuster, Stephan C -- Modrusan, Zora -- Zhang, Zemin -- Stokoe, David -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- Faham, Malek -- Seshagiri, Somasekar -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 12;466(7308):869-73. doi: 10.1038/nature09208.

    Structural basis for recognition of H3K56-acetylated histone H3-H4 by the chaperone Rtt106 (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-02-07
    Description: Dynamic variations in the structure of chromatin influence virtually all DNA-related processes in eukaryotes and are controlled in part by post-translational modifications of histones. One such modification, the acetylation of lysine 56 (H3K56ac) in the amino-terminal alpha-helix (alphaN) of histone H3, has been implicated in the regulation of nucleosome assembly during DNA replication and repair, and nucleosome disassembly during gene transcription. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the histone chaperone Rtt106 contributes to the deposition of newly synthesized H3K56ac-carrying H3-H4 complex on replicating DNA, but it is unclear how Rtt106 binds H3-H4 and specifically recognizes H3K56ac as there is no apparent acetylated lysine reader domain in Rtt106. Here, we show that two domains of Rtt106 are involved in a combinatorial recognition of H3-H4. An N-terminal domain homodimerizes and interacts with H3-H4 independently of acetylation while a double pleckstrin-homology (PH) domain binds the K56-containing region of H3. Affinity is markedly enhanced upon acetylation of K56, an effect that is probably due to increased conformational entropy of the alphaN helix of H3. Our data support a mode of interaction where the N-terminal homodimeric domain of Rtt106 intercalates between the two H3-H4 components of the (H3-H4)(2) tetramer while two double PH domains in the Rtt106 dimer interact with each of the two H3K56ac sites in (H3-H4)(2). We show that the Rtt106-(H3-H4)(2) interaction is important for gene silencing and the DNA damage response.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3439842/" 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/PMC3439842/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Su, Dan -- Hu, Qi -- Li, Qing -- Thompson, James R -- Cui, Gaofeng -- Fazly, Ahmed -- Davies, Brian A -- Botuyan, Maria Victoria -- Zhang, Zhiguo -- Mer, Georges -- P50 CA108961/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA132878/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA132878-04/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072719/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Feb 5;483(7387):104-7. doi: 10.1038/nature10861.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota 55905, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22307274" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Atomic structure of the APC/C and its mechanism of protein ubiquitination (2015)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-18
    Description: The anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) is a multimeric RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls chromosome segregation and mitotic exit. Its regulation by coactivator subunits, phosphorylation, the mitotic checkpoint complex and interphase early mitotic inhibitor 1 (Emi1) ensures the correct order and timing of distinct cell-cycle transitions. Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to determine atomic structures of APC/C-coactivator complexes with either Emi1 or a UbcH10-ubiquitin conjugate. These structures define the architecture of all APC/C subunits, the position of the catalytic module and explain how Emi1 mediates inhibition of the two E2s UbcH10 and Ube2S. Definition of Cdh1 interactions with the APC/C indicates how they are antagonized by Cdh1 phosphorylation. The structure of the APC/C with UbcH10-ubiquitin reveals insights into the initiating ubiquitination reaction. Our results provide a quantitative framework for the design of future experiments to investigate APC/C functions in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4608048/" 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/PMC4608048/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chang, Leifu -- Zhang, Ziguo -- Yang, Jing -- McLaughlin, Stephen H -- Barford, David -- A8022/Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- MC_UP_1201/6/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jun 25;522(7557):450-4. doi: 10.1038/nature14471.

    Description: Pluripotency, the ability to generate any cell type of the body, is an evanescent attribute of embryonic cells. Transitory pluripotent cells can be captured at different time points during embryogenesis and maintained as embryonic stem cells or epiblast stem cells in culture. Since ontogenesis is a dynamic process in both space and time, it seems counterintuitive that these two temporal states represent the full spectrum of organismal pluripotency. Here we show that by modulating culture parameters, a stem-cell type with unique spatial characteristics and distinct molecular and functional features, designated as region-selective pluripotent stem cells (rsPSCs), can be efficiently obtained from mouse embryos and primate pluripotent stem cells, including humans. The ease of culturing and editing the genome of human rsPSCs offers advantages for regenerative medicine applications. The unique ability of human rsPSCs to generate post-implantation interspecies chimaeric embryos may facilitate our understanding of early human development and evolution.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wu, Jun -- Okamura, Daiji -- Li, Mo -- Suzuki, Keiichiro -- Luo, Chongyuan -- Ma, Li -- He, Yupeng -- Li, Zhongwei -- Benner, Chris -- Tamura, Isao -- Krause, Marie N -- Nery, Joseph R -- Du, Tingting -- Zhang, Zhuzhu -- Hishida, Tomoaki -- Takahashi, Yuta -- Aizawa, Emi -- Kim, Na Young -- Lajara, Jeronimo -- Guillen, Pedro -- Campistol, Josep M -- Esteban, Concepcion Rodriguez -- Ross, Pablo J -- Saghatelian, Alan -- Ren, Bing -- Ecker, Joseph R -- Izpisua Belmonte, Juan Carlos -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 May 21;521(7552):316-21. doi: 10.1038/nature14413.
