Cartwheel #getupandmove for @mdbraber

March 13th, 2010 by admin

Hoi Maarten-

Thought of you and the Nexthealth crew today running along the river in Austin, Texas.

#getupandmove works because, as @edbennett told me today outside the Hilton hotel at #sxsw, when you do a challenge, you wind up thinking about the friend or family member who sent it to you. 

That means you’re not just moving for yourself, you’re moving for someone else too.

Maarten – this one’s for you!

Meeting Review
Morphogenesis in Kyoto: A Confluence of Cell and Developmental Biology
Jennifer A. Zallen and Alpha S. Yap


Cell Cycle
Mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans him-19 Show Meiotic Defects That Worsen with Age   A Highlights from MBoC Selection
Lois Tang, Thomas Machacek, Yasmine M. Mamnun, Alexandra Penkner, Jiradet Gloggnitzer, Christina Wegrostek, Robert Konrat, Michael F. Jantsch, Josef Loidl, and Verena Jantsch

Faithful meiotic chromosome segregation requires pairing, synapsis and recombination of homologous chromosomes. In mammals, chromosomal non-disjunction increases with age. A mutation in Caenorhabditis elegans him-19 mimics these age-dependent chromosome segregation defects and might therefore further our understanding of this phenomenon.

A Specific Form of Phospho Protein Phosphatase 2 Regulates Anaphase-promoting Complex/Cyclosome Association with Spindle Poles
Jorge Z. Torres, Kenneth H. Ban, and Peter K. Jackson

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is phosphorylated in a cell cycle dependent manner. We discovered that a specific form of PPP2 is necessary for APC/C dephosphorylation in mitosis and that this dephosphorylation event regulates the association of the APC/C with mitotic spindle poles.

Emi2 Inhibition of the Anaphase-promoting Complex/Cyclosome Absolutely Requires Emi2 Binding via the C-Terminal RL Tail   A Highlights from MBoC Selection
Munemichi Ohe, Yoshiko Kawamura, Hiroyuki Ueno, Daigo Inoue, Yoshinori Kanemori, Chiharu Senoo, Michitaka Isoda, Nobushige Nakajo, and Noriyuki Sagata

Both the D-box and the zinc-binding region (ZBR) of Emi2 are implicated in APC/C inhibition. This article shows that Emi2 binds the APC/C via the C-terminal tail, termed here the RL tail. The RL tail apparently promotes the inhibitory interactions of the D-box and the ZBR with the APC/C. The RL tail thus serves as a docking site for the APC/C.

Requirements and Reasons for Effective Inhibition of the Anaphase Promoting Complex Activator Cdh1   A Highlights from MBoC Selection
Jonathan A. Robbins and Frederick R. Cross

Inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdh1 by CDK and Polo kinase has been proposed to inactivate APC-Cdh1. Through an exact gene replacement approach, we find CDK, but not Polo, phosphorylation of Cdh1 to be a critical regulatory mechanism. APC-Cdh1 inhibits multiple aspects of spindle morphogenesis, and its activity is modulated by endogenous ACM1.

Rad17 Plays a Central Role in Establishment of the Interaction between TopBP1 and the Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 Complex at Stalled Replication Forks   A Highlights from MBoC Selection
Joon Lee and William G. Dunphy

This work provides novel mechanistic insights into how TopBP1 and the Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 (9-1-1) complex dock with one another at stalled replication forks. This step is necessary for the ATR-dependent activation of Chk1 during checkpoint responses.


Cell Motility
A Receptor-associated Protein/Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathway Controls Pseudopod Formation
Arjan Kortholt, Parvin Bolourani, Holger Rehmann, Ineke Keizer-Gunnink, Gerald Weeks, Alfred Wittinghofer, and Peter J.M. Van Haastert

GbpD, a guanine exchange factor specific for Rap1, has been implicated in adhesion, cell polarity, and chemotaxis of Dictyostelium cells. Here it is shown that activated Rap1 directly binds to PI3K. The activation of PI3K by Rap1 and RasG regulates basal and chemoattractant-stimulated PIP3 levels and pseudopod formation.

Gq-coupled Purinergic Receptors Inhibit Insulin-like Growth Factor-I/Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Pathway-dependent Keratinocyte Migration
Salma Taboubi, Françoise Garrouste, Fabrice Parat, Gilbert Pommier, Emilie Faure, Sylvie Monferran, Hervé Kovacic, and Maxime Lehmann

After skin wound, released growth factors and extracellular nucleotides regulate the different phases of healing, including re-epithelialization. Here, we show that, in keratinocytes, purinergic P2Y2 receptors inhibit the motogenic IGF-I/PI3K pathway. Therefore, extracellular nucleotides may play key roles during skin remodelling after wound.


Membrane Trafficking
Combinational Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-sensitive Factor Attachment Protein Receptor Proteins VAMP8 and Vti1b Mediate Fusion of Antimicrobial and Canonical Autophagosomes with Lysosomes
Nobumichi Furuta, Naonobu Fujita, Takeshi Noda, Tamotsu Yoshimori, and Atsuo Amano

Autophagy (xenophagy) degrades intracellular bacteria. The cargoes are degraded after the fusion of xenophagosomes with lysosomes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the fusion remains unclear. Here we show that combinational SNARE proteins VAMP8 and Vti1b mediate fusion of antimicrobial and canonical autophagosomes with lysosomes.

Role of the Second Cysteine-rich Domain and Pro275 in Protein Kinase D2 Interaction with ADP-Ribosylation Factor 1, Trans-Golgi Network Recruitment, and Protein Transport
Ganesh Varma Pusapati, Denis Krndija, Milena Armacki, Götz von Wichert, Julia von Blume, Vivek Malhotra, Guido Adler, and Thomas Seufferlein

The present study provides the first link between the “classical” machinery regulating protein transport at the Golgi compartment, namely ARF proteins and PKDs, and demonstrates that the direct interaction of both is crucial for efficient protein transport from the TGN to the plasma membrane.

Regulators of Vps4 ATPase Activity at Endosomes Differentially Influence the Size and Rate of Formation of Intralumenal Vesicles
Daniel P. Nickerson, Matthew West, Ryan Henry, and Greg Odorizzi

Disassembly of ESCRT-III requires Vps4 ATPase activity under the control of regulatory proteins. Described here are distinct spatiotemporal functions for Vps4 regulators, with Did2 playing a unique role in regulating MVB lumenal vesicle size and Vtal-Vps60 promoting efficient membrane scission and delivery of vesicles into the endosome lumen.

Vesicular Calcium Regulates Coat Retention, Fusogenicity, and Size of Pre-Golgi Intermediates
Marvin Bentley, Deborah C. Nycz, Ashwini Joglekar, Ismene Fertschai, Roland Malli, Wolfgang F. Graier, and Jesse C. Hay

This study establishes a role for luminal Ca2+ in ER/Golgi transport organelles and elucidates an effector mechanism involving the EF-hand protein ALG-2 and regulation of COPII coat retention.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum–associated Degradation of the Epithelial Sodium Channel Requires a Unique Complement of Molecular Chaperones
Teresa M. Buck, Alexander R. Kolb, Cary R. Boyd, Thomas R. Kleyman, and Jeffrey L. Brodsky

This study describes new yeast expression systems for each subunit of the heterotrimeric epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). We found that a significant amount of each subunit resides in the ER and is destroyed via ERAD. We also found that the chaperone requirements for ENaC subunit degradation were unlike any other ERAD substrate examined.

Assembly of the AAA ATPase Vps4 on ESCRT-III
Anna Shestakova, Abraham Hanono, Stacey Drosner, Matt Curtiss, Brian A. Davies, David J. Katzmann, and Markus Babst

A complex network of interactions mediates the recruitment of Vps4 to ESCRT-III and its subsequent assembly, two key steps in the ESCRT-dependent vesicle formation at the endosome. A model is presented depicting the order of events that lead to active, ESCRT-III–associated Vps4.


Nuclear Functions
Members of the RSC Chromatin-Remodeling Complex Are Required for Maintaining Proper Nuclear Envelope Structure and Pore Complex Localization
Laura C. Titus, T. Renee Dawson, Deborah J. Rexer, Kathryn J. Ryan, and Susan R. Wente

Genome-wide screening approaches were employed to identify factors required for nuclear pore complex structure and distribution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Roles were found for multiple components of the RSC complex, revealing a functional connection between proper chromatin remodeling and nuclear envelope/nuclear pore complex structure.


Signaling
Ras and Calcium Signaling Pathways Converge at Raf1 via the Shoc2 Scaffold Protein
Sayaka Yoshiki, Rie Matsunaga-Udagawa, Kazuhiro Aoki, Yuji Kamioka, Etsuko Kiyokawa, and Michiyuki Matsuda

Activation of Raf1 at the plasma membrane requires not only Ras activation but also an increase in Ca2+ concentration or inhibition of calmodulin. The Ca2+-dependent activation of Raf1 is abrogated by knockdown of Shoc2. We show that the Shoc2 scaffold protein modulates Ras-dependent Raf1 activation in a Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent manner.

Compartmentalized Cyclic Adenosine 3′,5′-Monophosphate at the Plasma Membrane Clusters PDE3A and Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator into Microdomains   A Highlights from MBoC Selection
Himabindu Penmatsa, Weiqiang Zhang, Sunitha Yarlagadda, Chunying Li, Veronica G. Conoley, Junming Yue, Suleiman W. Bahouth, Randal K. Buddington, Guangping Zhang, Deborah J. Nelson, Monal D. Sonecha, Vincent Manganiello, Jeffrey J. Wine, and Anjaparavanda P. Naren

PDE3A functionally and physically interacts with CFTR. Inhibition of PDE3A generates compartmentalized cAMP, which further clusters PDE3A and CFTR into microdomains at the plasma membrane of epithelial cells and potentiates CFTR channel function. Our findings provide insights into the important role of PDE3A in compartmentalized cAMP signaling.

Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Induces Transdifferentiation of Myoblasts into Myofibroblasts via Up-Regulation of Sphingosine Kinase-1/S1P3 Axis
Francesca Cencetti, Caterina Bernacchioni, Paola Nincheri, Chiara Donati, and Paola Bruni

Transforming growth factor-β1 induces Smad-dependent transdifferentiation of myoblasts into myofibroblasts via up-regulation of sphingosine kinase-1/S1P3 axis with a mechanism involving Rho/Rho kinase activation.

Vav3-deficient Mice Exhibit a Transient Delay in Cerebellar Development
Celia Quevedo, Vincent Sauzeau, Mauricio Menacho-Márquez, Antonio Castro-Castro, and Xosé R. Bustelo

Vav proteins are phosphorylation-dependent Rho/Rac exchange factors that have usually been associated with immune- and cardiovascular-related functions. In this paper, Quevedo et al. demonstrate that Vav3 plays important, although transient, pleiotropic roles during the postnatal development of the cerebellum.

Protein Phosphatase 2A Reactivates FOXO3a through a Dynamic Interplay with 14-3-3 and AKT
Amrik Singh, Min Ye, Octavian Bucur, Shudong Zhu, Maria Tanya Santos, Isaac Rabinovitz, Wenyi Wei, Daming Gao, William C. Hahn, and Roya Khosravi-Far

This article describes a functional interaction between PP2A and FOXO3a in which PP2A promotes rapid dephosphorylation of FOXO3a at its conserved AKT phosphorylation sites, leading to FOXO3a dissociation from 14-3-3, nuclear translocation, and transcriptional activation in response to inhibition of PI3K signaling.
