Blue light (BL) plays an important role in regulation of the growth and development of aquatic plants and land plants. Aureochrome (AUREO), the recent BL photoreceptor identified in photosynthetic stramenopile algae, is involved in the photomorphogenesis and early development of Saccharina japonica porophytes (kelp). However the factors that interact with the SjAUREO under BL conditions specifically are not clear. Here in our study, three high quality cDNA libraries with CFU over 5 × 106 and a recombination rate of 100% were constructed respectively through white light (WL), BL and darkness (DK) treatments to the juvenile sporophytes. Based on the constructed cDNA libraries, the interactors of SjAUREO were screened and analyzed. There are eighty-four genes encoding the sixteen predicted proteins from the BL cDNA library, sixty-eight genes encoding eighteen predicted proteins from the DK cDNA library, and seventy-four genes encoding nineteen proteins from the WL cDNA library. All the predicted proteins are presumed to interact with SjAUREO when co-expressed with SjAUREO seperately. The 40S ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6), which only exists in the BL treated cDNA library except for two other libraries, and which is essential for cell proliferation and is involved in cell cycle progression, was selected for detailed analysis. We showed that its transcription was up-regulated by BL, and was highly transcribed in the basal blade (meristem region) of juvenile sporophytes but less in the distal part. Taken together, our results indicated that RPS6 was highly involved in BL-mediated kelp cellular division and photomorphogenesis by interacting with SjAUREO.

RanBP1 is a molecular partner of the Ran GTPase, which is implicated in the control of several processes, including DNA replication, mitotic entry and exit, cell cycle progression, nuclear structure, protein import and RNA export. While most genes encoding Ran-interacting partners are constitutively active, transcription of the RanBP1 mRNA is repressed in non proliferating cells, is activated at the G1/S transition in cycling cells and peaks during S phase. We report here that forced expression of the RanBP1 gene disrupts the orderly execution of the cell division cycle at several stages, causing inhibition of DNA replication, defective mitotic exit and failure of chromatin decondensation during the telophase-to-interphase transition in cells that achieve nuclear duplication and chromosome segregation. These results suggest that deregulated RanBP1 activity interferes with the Ran GTPase cycle and prevents the functioning of the Ran signalling system during the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT The anaphase-promoting complex (APC), a large evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin ligase complex, regulates cell cycle progression through mitosis and G1. Here, we present data suggesting that APC-dependent cell cycle progression relies on a specific set of posttranslational histone-modifying enzymes. Multiple APC subunit mutants were impaired in total and modified histone H3 protein content. Acetylated H3K56 (H3K56Ac) levels were as reduced as those of total H3, indicating that loading histones with H3K56Ac is unaffected in APC mutants. However, under restrictive conditions, H3K9Ac and dimethylated H3K79 (H3K79me2) levels were more greatly reduced than those of total H3. In a screen for histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) mutants that genetically interact with the apc5 CA (chromatin assembly) mutant, we found that deletion of GCN5 or ELP3 severely hampered apc5 CA temperature-sensitive (ts) growth. Further analyses showed that (i) the elp3Δ gcn5Δ double mutant ts defect was epistatic to that observed in apc5 CA cells; (ii) gcn5Δ and elp3Δ mutants accumulate in mitosis; and (iii) turnover of the APC substrate Clb2 is not impaired in elp3Δ gcn5Δ cells. Increased expression of ELP3 and GCN5, as well as genes encoding the HAT Rtt109 and the chromatin assembly factors Msi1 and Asf1, suppressed apc5 CA defects, while increased APC5 expression partially suppressed elp3Δ gcn5Δ growth defects. Finally, we demonstrate that Gcn5 is unstable during G1 and following G1 arrest and is stabilized in APC mutants. We present our working model in which Elp3/Gcn5 and the APC work together to facilitate passage through mitosis and G1. To progress into S, we propose that at least Gcn5 must then be targeted for degradation in an APC-dependent fashion.

The discovery of novel and critical genes implicated in malignant development is a topic of high interest in cancer research. Intriguingly, a group of genes named “double-agent” genes were reported to have both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive functions. To date, less than 100 “double-agent” genes have been documented. Fubp1 is a master transcriptional regulator of a subset of genes by interacting with a far upstream element (FUSE). Mounting evidence has collectively demonstrated both the oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles of Fubp1 and the debate regarding its roles in tumorigenesis has been around for several years. Therefore, the detailed molecular mechanisms of Fubp1 need to be determined in each context. In the present study, we showed that the Fubp1 protein level was enriched in the S phase and we identified that Fubp1 deficiency altered cell cycle progression, especially in the S phase, by downregulating the mRNA expression levels of Ccna genes encoding cyclin A. Although this Fubp1-cyclin A axis appears to exist in several types of tumors, Fubp1 showed heterogeneous expression patterns among various cancer tissues, suggesting it exhibits multiple and complicated functions in cancer development. In addition, we showed that Fubp1 deficiency confers survival advantages to cells against metabolic stress and anti-cancer drugs, suggesting that Fubp1 may play both positive and negative roles in malignant development.

Mitogenic stimulation of quiescent cells not only triggers the cell division cycle but also induces an increase in cell volume, associated with an activation of cellular metabolism. It is therefore likely that genes encoding enzymes and other proteins involved in energy metabolism and biosynthetic pathways represent a major class of mitogen-induced genes. In the present study, we investigated in the non-established human fibroblast line WI-38 the induction by mitogens of 17 genes whose products play a role in different metabolic processes. We show that these genes fall into 4 different categories, i.e. non-induced genes, immediate early (IE) primary genes, delayed early (DE) secondary genes and late genes reaching peak levels in S-phase. In addition, we have analysed the regulation of these genes during normal cell cycle progression, using HL-60 cells separated by counterflow elutriation. A clear cell cycle regulation was seen with those genes that are induced in S-phase, i.e. thymidine kinase, thymidylate synthase and dihydrofolate reductase. In addition, two DE genes showed a cell cycle dependent expression. Ornithine decarboxylase mRNA increased around mid-G1, reaching maximum levels in S/G2, while hexokinase mRNA expression was highest in early G1. In contrast, the expression of other DE and IE genes did not fluctuate during the cell cycle, a result that was confirmed with elutriated WI-38 and serum-stimulated HL-60 cells. These observations suggest that G0-->S and G1-->S transition are distinct processes, exhibiting characteristic programmes of gene regulation, and merging around S-phase entry.

AbstractDuring meiotic prophase I, programmed DNA double-strand breaks repair as non-crossover or crossover events, the latter predominantly occurring via the Class I crossover pathway and requiring the cyclin family member CNTD1. Using an epitope-tagged Cntd1 allele, we show that mouse CNTD1 exists in vivo as a short isoform that lacks the predicted N-terminal cyclin domain and does not bind cyclin-dependent kinases. Instead, we find that CNTD1 associates with Replication Factor C to drive crossover formation and the Skp1-Cullin1-F-Box complex to regulate ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the WEE1 kinase, thereby indirectly modulating cell cycle progression. We propose that these interactions enable CNTD1 to orchestrate the steps of prophase I and coordinate crossover formation with cellular division.

Abstract BackgroundRibosomal protein L34 (RPL34) is a member of the L34E ribosomal protein family containing zinc finger domains. This protein plays a key role in regulating the apoptosis, cell cycle progression and proliferation of various cancer including osteosarcoma (OS). The purpose of this study is to clarify the expression of RPL34 in osteosarcoma cells and its molecular mechanism of regulating osteosarcoma cells. MethodsThe expression levels of c-Myc and RPL34 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were used to analyse the binding site of c-Myc and RPL34. ResultsThe results showed that c-Myc binds to the E-box region in the RPL34 promoter to regulate RPL34 expression. The results indicated that RPL34 regulates osteosarcoma cells proliferation through c-Myc/RPL34 signaling axis. This research may provide new ideas for targeted therapy of OS. Conclusion RPL34 regulates osteosarcoma cells proliferation through c-Myc/RPL34 signaling axis.
