ABSTRACT We have previously described the role of an essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene, important for cleavage and polyadenylation 1 (IPA1), in the regulation of gene expression through its interaction with Ysh1, the endonuclease subunit of the mRNA 3′-end processing complex. Through a similar mechanism, the mammalian homolog ubiquitin protein ligase E3D (UBE3D) promotes the migratory and invasive potential of breast cancer cells, but its role in the regulation of gene expression during normal cellular differentiation has not previously been described. In this study, we show that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of Ube3d in 3T3-L1 cells blocks their ability to differentiate into mature adipocytes. Consistent with previous studies in other cell types, Ube3d knockout leads to decreased levels of CPSF73 and global changes in cellular mRNAs indicative of a loss of 3′-end processing capacity. Ube3d knockout cells also display decreased expression of known preadipogenic markers. Overexpression of either UBE3D or CPSF73 rescues the differentiation defect and partially restores protein levels of these markers. These results support a model in which UBE3D is necessary for the maintenance of the adipocyte-committed state via its regulation of the mRNA 3′-end processing machinery.","PeriodicalId":18658,"journal":{"name":"Molecular and Cellular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9753722/pdf/mcb.00174-22.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9633422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the mechanism of G<sub>2</sub>/M-phase arrest caused by splicing inhibition is completely unknown. Here, we found that lower and higher concentrations of pladienolide B caused M-phase and G<sub>2</sub>-phase arrest, respectively. We analyzed protein levels of cell cycle regulators and found that a truncated form of the p27 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, named p27*, accumulated in G<sub>2</sub>-arrested cells.

Upon Ca<sup>2+</sup> store depletion, AKAP79 interacts with the N-terminus of STIM1-gated Orai1 Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels, enabling Ca<sup>2+</sup> nanodomains to stimulate calcineurin. Calcineurin then dephosphorylates and activates NFAT1, which then translocates to the nucleus. A fundamental question is how signalosomes maintain long-term signaling when key effectors are released and therefore removed beyond the reach of the activating signal. Here, we show that the AKAP79-Orai1 interaction is considerably more transient than that of STIM1-Orai1. Free AKAP79, with calcineurin and NFAT1 in tow, is able to replace rapidly AKAP79 devoid of NFAT1 on Orai1, in the presence of continuous Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry. We also show that Ca<sup>2+</sup> nanodomains near Orai1 channels activate almost the entire cytosolic pool of NFAT1. Recycling of inactive NFAT1 from the cytoplasm to AKAP79 in the plasma membrane, coupled with the relatively weak interaction between AKAP79 and Orai1, maintain excitation-transcription coupling.

Our results demonstrate that Mrhl is expressed in the neuronal progenitor populations in mouse embryonic brains and in retinoic acid-derived radial-glia-like neuronal progenitor cells. Depletion of Mrhl leads to early differentiation of neuronal progenitors to a more committed state. A master transcription factor, PAX6, directly binds to the Mrhl promoter at a major site in the distal promoter, located at 2.9 kb upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) of Mrhl. Furthermore, NFAT4 occupies the Mrhl-proximal promoter at two sites, at 437 base pairs (bp) and 143 bp upstream of the TSS. Independent knockdown studies for PAX6 and NFAT4 confirm that they regulate Mrhl expression in neuronal progenitors.

Here, we reconstituted recombinant TINTIN and its subassemblies and characterized their biochemical and structural properties. Our coimmunoprecipitation, AlphaFold2 modeling, and hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) analyses revealed that the Eaf3 MRG domain contacts Eaf7 and this binding induces conformational changes throughout Eaf3. Nucleosome-binding assays showed that Eaf3 and TINTIN interact non-specifically with the DNA on nucleosomes.
