Dynamic protein-chromatin interactions in heterochromatin and during the DNA damage response on the single molecule level

Dynamic regulation of chromatin, a structure consisting of DNA and histone proteins, is mediated through histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and effector proteins. HP1a and PRC2 are recruited to repressive PTMs (H3K9me3, H3K27me3) and enable he ...

DNA repair protein Rad18 restricts LINE-1 mobility

Priscilla Turelli

Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1, L1) is a mobile genetic element comprising about 17% of the human genome. L1 utilizes an endonuclease to insert L1 cDNA into the target genomic DNA, which induces double-strand DNA breaks in the human genome and activat ...

The Multi-kinase Inhibitor Debio 0617B Reduces Maintenance and Self-renewal of Primary Human AML CD34(+) Stem/Progenitor Cells

Michel Aguet, Maximilien Murone, Andres McAllister, Stefania Rigotti

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is initiated and maintained by leukemia stem cells (LSC). LSCs are therapy-resistant, cause relapse, and represent a major obstacle for the cure of AML. Resistance to therapy is often mediated by aberrant tyrosine kinase (T ...

Sequence and structural determinants of Tau aggregation and seeding capacity: Implications for Neurofibrillary Tangle formation and Tau toxicity in Alzheimer's disease

Nadine Aït Bouziad

Despite decades of research in Alzheimerâ s disease (AD), no treatment has been found to efficiently prevent or cure its progression. The microtubule binding protein Tau plays central roles in the pathogenesis of AD and is found, in the form of paired hel ...

Physiological regulation of the CDK16/PCTAIRE-1 protein kinase and its proposed role in the brain

Saifeldin Nasser Mohamed Ibrahim Shehata

Cell signalling, mediated to a large extent by protein kinase phosphorylation, plays a vital role in regulation of cellular function. PCTAIRE-1 (also known as cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK)16), is a Ser/Thr kinase that has been implicated in many ce ...

Five Questions (with their Answers) on ER-Associated Degradation

Maurizio Molinari

Production of a functional proteome is a major burden for our cells. Native proteins operate inside and outside the cells to eventually warrant life and adaptation to metabolic and environmental changes, there is no doubt that production and inappropriate ...

Ubiquitin-dependent folding of the Wnt signaling coreceptor LRP6

Béatrice Kunz, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Michal Feldman Elmalam, Elsa Anne Perrody

Many membrane proteins fold inefficiently and require the help of enzymes and chaperones. Here we reveal a novel folding assistance system that operates on membrane proteins from the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We show that folding of ...

Cytoplasmic Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 19 (USP19) Modulates Aggregation of Polyglutamine-Expanded Ataxin-3 and Huntingtin through the HSP90 Chaperone

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Ubiquitin-specific protease 19 (USP19) is one of the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) involved in regulating the ubiquitination status of substrate proteins. There are two major isoforms of USP19 with distinct C-termini; the USP19_a isoform has a transmembr ...

Allosteric regulation and targeting of Abl SH2-kinase interface and other cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases

Allan Joaquim Lamontanara

Due to their central role in normal cellular physiology, the activity of protein kinases is tightly regulated and their aberrant activation can lead to cancer. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer characterized by unregulated growth of myel ...

Genetic depletion of Polo-like kinase 1 leads to embryonic lethality due to mitotic aberrancies

Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays multiple and essential roles during the cell division cycle. Its inhibition in cultured cells leads to severe mitotic aberrancies and cell death. Whereas previous reports suggested that Plk1 ...
