Abstract
α-Actinin-4 is an actin-binding protein involved in a wide range of cellular processes. Along with actin and other proteins of the actin cytoskeleton, α-actinin-4 is found not only in the cytoplasm, but also in the nucleus of various types of cells. As a nuclear protein, it takes part in regulating the activity of some transcription factors. In particular, it can regulate the activity of the NF-kB factor, which largely determines the resistance of cancer cells to apoptosis and anticancer therapy. Our previous studies revealed that α-actinin-4 can influence the resistance of cancer cells to topoisomerase II inhibitors and determine the efficiency of DNA double-strand break repair by regulating the assembly of HRR and NHEJ protein complexes. In this work, we tried to answer the question of how α-actinin-4 is involved in the regulation of the double-stranded DNA breaks repair under genotoxic stress. Our results indicate that the effect of α-actinin-4 on the repair process in H1299 non-small-cell lung-cancer cells does not depend on the activity of the transcription factor NF-kB. We found that, in the nucleus of H1299 cells, α-actinin-4 is localized not only in the nucleoplasm, but also shows close association with chromatin.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on vast aspects of cell research, including morphology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, molecular biology, immunology. The journal accepts original experimental studies, theoretical articles suggesting novel principles and approaches, presentations of new hypotheses, reviews highlighting major developments in cell biology, discussions. The main objective of the journal is to provide a competent representation and integration of research made on cells (animal and plant cells, both in vivo and in cell culture) offering insight into the structure and functions of live cells as a whole. Characteristically, the journal publishes articles on biology of free-living and parasitic protists, which, unlike Metazoa, are eukaryotic organisms at the cellular level of organization.
