Greg M Delgoffe, Kristen N Pollizzi, Adam T Waickman, Emily Heikamp, David J Meyers, Maureen R Horton, Bo Xiao, Paul F Worley and Jonathan D Powell
Abstract
We demonstrate that differentiation into the T(H)1 and T(H)17 subsets of helper T cells was selectively regulated by signaling from mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) that was dependent on the small GTPase Rheb. Rheb-deficient T cells failed to generate T(H)1 and T(H)17 responses in vitro and in vivo and did n... | PMID: 21358638

Fission yeast germinal center (GC) kinase Ppk11 interacts with Pmo25 and plays an auxiliary role in concert with the morphogenesis Orb6 network (MOR) in cell morphogenesis.
Tetsuya Goshima, Kazunori Kume, Takayuki Koyano, Yoshikazu Ohya, Takashi Toda and Dai Hirata
Abstract
We show that a third GCK, Ppk11, is also required for efficient cell separation particularly, at a high temperature. Although Ppk11 is not essential for cell division, this kinase plays an auxiliary role in concert with MOR in cell morphogenesis. Ppk11 physically interacts with the MOR component Pmo... | PMID: 20826805

New hierarchical phosphorylation pathway of the translational repressor eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) in ischemia-reperfusion stress.
María I Ayuso, Macarena Hernández-Jiménez, María E Martín, Matilde Salinas and Alberto Alcázar
Abstract
These results demonstrate a new hierarchical phosphorylation for 4E-BP1 regulation in which Thr(69) is phosphorylated first followed by Thr(36)/Thr(45) phosphorylation, and Ser(64) is phosphorylated last. Thr(69) phosphorylation alone allows binding to eIF4E, and subsequent Thr(36)/Thr(45) phosphory... | PMID: 20736160

Trichoplein/mitostatin regulates endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria juxtaposition.
Cristina Cerqua, Vassiliki Anesti, Aswin Pyakurel, Dan Liu, Deborah Naon, Gerhard Wiche, Raffaele Baffa, Kai S Dimmer and Luca Scorrano
Abstract
We report that TpMs regulates the tethering between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2)-dependent manner. Subcellular fractionation and immunostaining show that TpMs is present at the interface between mitochondria and ER. The expression of TpMs leads to mitochondrial... | PMID: 20930847

[Essential role of pikachurin, a novel dystroglycan-binding protein, in bipolar dendrite connection to photoreceptor ribbon synapse in the retina].
Shigeru S Sato
Abstract
We identified the novel retinal extracellular matrix protein pikachurin, and observed that it is localized in the synaptic cleft of the photoreceptor ribbon synapse. In order to investigate the biological functions of pikachurin, we generated a pikachurin knock-out mouse. These mice showed improper... | PMID: 21141075

Affinity peptide for targeted detection of dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus.
Meng Li, Constantinos P Anastassiades, Bishnu Joshi, Chris M Komarck, Cyrus Piraka, Badih J Elmunzer, Danielle K Turgeon, Timothy D Johnson, Henry Appelman, David G Beer and Thomas D Wang
Abstract
We aim to select and validate an affinity peptide that binds to esophageal dysplasia for future clinical studies. Peptide selection was performed using phage display by removing nonspecific binders using Q-hTERT (intestinal metaplasia) cells and achieving specific binding against OE33 (esophageal ad... | PMID: 20637198

Glycolytic flux occurs in Drosophila melanogaster recovering from camptothecin treatment.
Rodney Hull and Monde McMillan Ntwasa
Abstract
We sought to investigate their impact on normal cells by using Drosophila as a model. We investigated the possible involvement of Drosophila homologue of p53 (Dmp53) and a member of the retinoblastoma binding protein 6 family, known as Snama. On account of its molecular features and experimental evi... | PMID: 20717003

TopBP1 functions with 53BP1 in the G1 DNA damage checkpoint.
Rachele Cescutti, Simona Negrini, Masaoki Kohzaki and Thanos D Halazonetis
Abstract
We show that TopBP1 also colocalizes with 53BP1 at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), but only in the G1-phase of the cell cycle. Recruitment of TopBP1 to sites of DNA replication stress was dependent on BRCT domains 1-2 and 7-8, whereas recruitment to sites of DNA DSBs was dependent on BRCT... | PMID: 20871591

Abstract
We therefore analyzed the relationship between NS3/4A and TNFα. Wild-type and NS3/4A-transgenic (Tg) mice were treated with TNFα/D-galactosamine (D-galN), acting through the TNF receptor 1 on hepatocytes and macrophages, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galN, acting through Toll-like receptor 4 on si... | PMID: 20886569

Abstract
We examined the kinetics and molecular mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment to sites of focal hepatic necrosis in vivo. Adenosine triphosphate released from necrotic cells activated the Nlrp3 inflammasome to generate an inflammatory microenvironment that alerted circulating neutrophils to adhere wit... | PMID: 20947763

The hsSsu72 phosphatase is a cohesin-binding protein that regulates the resolution of sister chromatid arm cohesion.
Hyun-Soo Kim, Kwan-Hyuck Baek, Geun-Hyoung Ha, Jae-Chul Lee, Yu-Na Kim, Janet Lee, Hye-Young Park, Noo Ri Lee, Ho Lee, Yunje Cho and Chang-Woo Lee
Abstract
We report that our budding yeast two-hybrid assay identified hsSsu72 phosphatase as a Rad21-binding protein. Additional experiments revealed that Ssu72 directly interacts with Rad21 and SA2 in vitro and in vivo, and associates with sister chromatids in human cells. Interestingly, depletion or mutati... | PMID: 20818333
