Abstract We provide evidence that arsenic trioxide (As2O3) targets the BCR-ABL oncoprotein via a novel mechanism involving p62/SQSTM1-mediated localization of the oncoprotein to the autolysosomes and subsequent degradation mediated by the protease cathepsin B. Our studies demonstrate that inhibitors of autophagy or cathepsin B activity and/or molecular targeting of p62/SQSTM1, Atg7, or cathepsin B result in partial reversal of the suppressive effects of AS2O3 on BCR-ABL expressing leukemic progenitors, including primitive leukemic precursors from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients. Altogether, these findings indicate that autophagic degradation of BCR-ABL is critical for the induction of the antileukemic effects of As2O3 and raise the potential for future therapeutic approaches to target BCR-ABL expressing cells by modulating elements of the autophagic machinery to promote BCR-ABL degradation.

Pyruvate kinases from the kidney and liver of the osteoglossid Arapaima gigas were partially purified and characterized kinetically. The two enzymes have different elect rophoretic mobilities at pH 7.0, and while they share some qualitative similarities they show quantitative differences in their catalytic and regulatory properties. Both enzymes are activated by fructose 1.6-bisphosphate and inhibited by low levels of alanine and MgATP. The liver isozyme shows hyperbolic phosphoenolpyruvate binding, with a K1 for alanine inhibition of 0.7 mM and a K1 for MgATP inhibition of 1.0 mM. In contrast, the kidney isozyme shows cooperative phosphoenolpyruvate binding, which is accentuated at low levels of ADP. MgATP inhibition does not increase the cooperativity and shows an apparent K1 of 1.68 mM. The inhibition of alanine leads to considerable increases in the cooperativity and is effective at 1 mM and lower levels. Fructose 1.6-bisphosphate completely reverses the inhibition by alanine for both isozymes, while only leading to a partial reversal of the MgATP inhibition. These regulatory properties of both the kidney and the liver isozymes suit them for function in tissues which undergo both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

AbstractThis article explores a forcible, wartime transfer of women and minors from one ethnic group to another, and its partial reversal after the war. I analyze the historical conditions that enabled the original transfer, and then the circumstances that shaped the reverse transfer. The setting is Istanbul during and immediately after World War I, and the protagonists are various influential agents connected to the Ottoman Turkish state and to the Armenian Patriarchate. The absence and subsequent involvement of European Great Powers determines the broader, shifting context. The narrative follows the bodies of women and children, who were the subjects of the protagonists' discourses and the objects of their policies. This is the first in-depth study to connect these two processes involved: the wartime integration of Armenian women and children into Muslim settings, and postwar Armenian attempts to rescue, reintegrate, and redistribute them. I explain why and how the Armenian vorpahavak (gathering of orphans and widows) worked as it did, and situate it comparatively with similar events. I highlight its uniqueness, and the theoretical possibilities that it offers toward understanding why and how women, children, and reproduction matter to collectivities in crisis.
