CHARACTERIZATION OF SIPL1-MEDIATED PTEN INACTIVATION DURING TUMORIGENESIS / INACTIVATION OF PTEN BY SIPL1De Melo, Jason Anthony 11 1900 (has links)
As the primary antagonist to the tumorigenic PI3K/AKT pathway, PTEN is classified as a tumor suppressor. The inactivation of PTEN through genetic or post-translational modifications is a critical step in the tumorigenesis of many breast cancers (BCs). SIPL1 is a novel protein which was identified as a PTEN negative regulator. To further explore SIPL1-mediated PTEN inactivation, we analyzed 17 datasets covering 3484 BC cases and 228 normal individuals. SIPL1 gene amplification and increased mRNA expression correlates with the progression and poor prognosis of ER and/or PR positive tumors. Furthermore, examination of a BC tissue microarray containing 224 tumor cases revealed elevated SIPL1 protein expression in ER+ and PR+ tumors and was associated with greater AKT activation. Additionally, ectopic expression of SIPL1 in CHO-K1 cells resulted in increased AKT activation and cell proliferation, and cytoskeleton reorganization alongside with PTEN downregulation.
SIPL1 contributes to the linear polyubiquitination of NEMO, suggesting a role for SIPL1 in PTEN ubiquitination. Indeed, it was SIPL1, not the SIPL1-∆UBL (a PTEN-binding defective mutant) which robustly induced PTEN polyubiquitination in a lysine (K) 63-dependent but K48-independent manner. While K48-linked polyubiquitin chains direct protein degradation, K63-linked chains regulate a variety of protein functions. SIPL1 binds polyubiquitinated PTEN with significantly higher affinity than non-ubiquitinated PTEN. A SIPL1 mutant, SIPL1-TFLV, is unable to cause PTEN ubiquitination but is capable of PTEN association. Collectively, our results reveal that SIPL1 interacts with PTEN with a low affinity, which results in PTEN polyubiquitination, and that the modification may stabilize the association between SIPL1 and PTEN. We propose a model where SIPL1 mediates the K63-linked ubiquitination of PTEN inactivating it. The downregulation of PTEN, when paired with the tumor-promoting effects of ER and/or PR, stimulates breast tumorigenesis. SIPL1 is an important BC marker and future research should focus on its potential as a therapeutic target. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Read more

Etude des propriétés d’échafaudage de la phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase SHIP2 et leur impact dans les remaniements membranairesAntoine, Mathieu 10 May 2021 (has links) (PDF)
La phosphoinositide phosphatase SHIP2 est une protéine capable de moduler le PI(3,4,5)P3, le PI(4,5)P2 et le PI(3,4)P2 qui sont des phosphoinositides importants lors des remaniements membranaires de la cellule. La régulation de la composition en phosphoinositides des membranes permettant l’assemblage de complexes protéiques est primordiale pour la génération de protrusions essentielles pour la migration et l’invasion cellulaire. D’autre part, SHIP2 possède des propriétés d’échafaudage permettant sa participation à plusieurs complexes multi-protéiques et à son ancrage à des localisations subcellulaires spécifiques. Plusieurs études ont montré que SHIP2 pouvait jouer un rôle dans le développement de certains cancers dont le cancer du sein. Au cours de ce travail, nous avons mis en évidence deux nouveaux partenaires de SHIP2 :IRSp53 et CIN85. Ces deux protéines participent respectivement à la formation d’invadopode et à l’endocytose. IRSp53 et CIN85 lient la même région C-terminale riche en prolines (PRR-II) de SHIP2, mais toutefois pas par les mêmes séquences. Cette région contient plusieurs motifs consensus permettant l’interaction de SHIP2 avec plusieurs autres partenaires connus comme l’intersectine, une protéine impliquée dans l’endocytose et Mena, un partenaire commun de SHIP2 et d’IRSp53 impliqué dans l’invasion cellulaire. Nous avons également montré que la mutation de la F1053 située dans la PRR-II de SHIP2 est, essentielle pour la liaison à l’intersectine, impliquée dans la stabilité de la liaison avec Mena et IRSp53 mais pas impliquée dans la liaison de CIN85. De plus, nous montrons qu’à la différence d’IRSp53 qui n’en possède qu’un, CIN85 possède trois domaines SH3 mais ne doit lier que deux motifs dans la PRR-II de SHIP2 afin d’assurer sa complète interaction.Dans les cellules dérivées du cancer du sein MDA-MB-231, nous avons montré que Mena n’est pas nécessaire pour l’interaction entre SHIP2 et IRSp53. Cependant, nous avons observé que l’absence de Mena dans les MDA-MB-231 diminue l’organisation du cytosquelette d’actine-filamenteuse et modifie la localisation subcellulaire de SHIP2 et IRSp53 en augmentant leur concentration à la membrane. Ces données renforcent l’hypothèse que SHIP2 participent à la formation de complexes multi-protéiques qui pourraient favoriser (1) la capacité d’élongation de l’actine de Mena, (2) la courbure de la membrane induite par IRSp53, (3) la production de PI(3,4)P2 par SHIP2 lui-même et (4) le recrutement d’autres protéines participant aux remaniements de la membrane. L’ubiquitination de SHIP2 que nous avons également étudiée pourrait aussi être un élément de régulation de ces complexes. La poursuite de l’étude de la spécificité d’interaction de SHIP2 pour ses divers partenaires dans un contexte pathologique pourrait donc aider à la compréhension de la dynamique des interactions protéiques essentielles au développement de tumeurs et de leurs métastases. / Doctorat en Sciences biomédicales et pharmaceutiques (Médecine) / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished Read more

The Multifunctional Protein p62 and Its Mechanistic Roles in CancersNing, Shunbin, Wang, Ling 01 January 2019 (has links)
The multifunctional signaling hub p62 is well recognized as a ubiquitin sensor and a selective autophagy receptor. As a ubiquitin sensor, p62 promotes NFκB activation by facilitating TRAF6 ubiquitination and aggregation. As a selective autophagy receptor, p62 sorts ubiquitinated substrates including p62 itself for lysosome-mediated degradation. p62 plays crucial roles in myriad cellular processes including DNA damage response, aging/senescence, infection and immunity, chronic inflammation, and cancerogenesis, dependent on or independent of autophagy. Targeting p62-mediated autophagy may represent a promising strategy for clinical interventions of different cancers. In this review, we summarize the transcriptional and post-translational regulation of p62, and its mechanistic roles in cancers, with the emphasis on its roles in regulation of DNA damage response and its connection to the cGAS-STING-mediated antitumor immune response, which is promising for cancer vaccine design.

Interplay between JCV Large T-antigen and Cullin-7 in Brain CancerMarsili, Stefania January 2011 (has links)
A convincing body of evidence suggests that ubiquitination and the ubiquitin proteasome degradation pathway play a key role in neoplastic transformation. Ubiquitination, as post-translation modification, is involved both in functional regulation and degradation of specific cellular targets known as proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Oncogenic viral proteins interact both with proto-oncoproteins and tumor suppressors leading to the modulation of their cellular function by several mechanisms including ubiquitination. Interestingly, viral oncoproteins themselves can also be regulated by this post-translation modification. Additionally, viruses can assemble their own E3 ligases or regulate the activity of cellular E3 ligases. E3 ligases, involved in the final step of the ubiquitination process, are the enzymes that provide the specificity for the interaction with target substrates by the means of a large number of proteins. Recent studies on the potential correlation between viral infection and oncogenesis, have addressed the emerging role of the ubiquitination system as a possible mediator for cancer transformation. In this scenario we hypothesized that JCV T-antigen may interfere with the ubiquitination system and we investigated a possible interaction between JCV T-antigen and the E3 ligase Cul7. To prove our hypothesis we performed co-immunoprecipitation and co-immunofluorescence experiments using the glioblastoma cell lines HJC12, U87MG and HJC5. Our results indicate that JCV T-antigen and Cul7 interact in the cytoplasmic compartment. In addition, JCV T-antigen stabilizes Cul7. These observations suggest that JCV T-antigen can modulate Cul7 E3 ligase activity leading to oncogenesis. Further study addressing the biological significance of this interaction will decipher the cellular processes modulated by JCV T-antigen and Cul7 and will indicate new avenues for therapeutic intervention. / Biology Read more

Study of the SAGA deubiquitination module: identification of new modulators and its implication on Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7Oliete Calvo, Paula 01 September 2017 (has links)
Regulation of chromatin by epigenetic modifications is a fundamental step during the control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The participation of different factors including histone chaperones, chromatin remodeling complexes and histone-modifying complexes regulate chromatin dynamics and ensure the correct metabolism of transcripts that need to be exported to the cytoplasm. In these lines, post-translational modifications including monoubiquitination of histone H2B (H2Bub1) and methylation of histone H3 represent a well-studied histone cross-talk which is required for chromatin integrity and transcription. Additionally, the transition from H2Bub1 to its deubiquitinated form by Ubp8, the DUB enzyme from SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltranferase) co-activator complex, is fundamental to obtain a correct gene expression. In this work, we demonstrate that the histone chaperone Asf1 and the Ran-binding protein Mog1, participate in maintaining correct levels of H2Bub1. We show that Mog1 is required for the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3), hence, acting as a modulator of histone cross-talk. Mog1 role into gene expression is also demonstrated by its physical and genetically interaction with transcription factors including SAGA and COMPASS complexes. Indeed, we demonstrate that Mog1 interacts genetically with TREX-2 subunits and affects mRNA export. During this work, we have also focused in understanding the molecular mechanisms surrounding Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7 (SCA7) which is a rare disease caused by amino acid glutamine (Q) repeats within the DUBm component, ATXN7. Therefore, our interest has been directed towards the study of new mechanisms that trigger SCA7 such as the DUB activity from SAGA complex, protein-protein interaction networks and metabolic profiles. / La regulación de la cromatina a través de modificaciones epigenéticas es un paso fundamental durante el control de la expresión génica en células eucariotas.

Triad3A Regulates Synaptic Strength by Ubiquitination of ArcMabb, A.M., Je, H.S., Wall, M.J., Robinson, C.G., Larsen, R.S., Qiang, Y., Corrêa, Sonia A.L., Ehlers, M.D. 05 February 2014 (has links)
No / Activity-dependent gene transcription and protein
synthesis underlie many forms of learning-related
synaptic plasticity. At excitatory glutamatergic
synapses, the immediate early gene product Arc/
Arg3.1 couples synaptic activity to postsynaptic
endocytosis of AMPA-type glutamate receptors.
Although the mechanisms for Arc induction have
been described, little is known regarding the molecular
machinery that terminates Arc function. Here, we
demonstrate that the RING domain ubiquitin ligase
Triad3A/RNF216 ubiquitinates Arc, resulting in its
rapid proteasomal degradation. Triad3A associates
with Arc, localizes to clathrin-coated pits, and is
associated with endocytic sites in dendrites and
spines. In the absence of Triad3A, Arc accumulates,
leading to the loss of surface AMPA receptors.
Furthermore, loss of Triad3A mimics and occludes
Arc-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity. Thus,
degradation of Arc by clathrin-localized Triad3A
regulates the availability of synaptic AMPA receptors
and temporally tunes Arc-mediated plasticity at
glutamatergic synapses. / A final draft copy of this article is not yet available.
