Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

38.6K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

7.8K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Positive, Negative, and Zero Work

22.3K
Work is done on an object when energy is transferred to the object. In other words, work is done when a force acts on a body that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. By definition, the work done by a force is the integral of the force with respect to the displacement along its path. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can occur along various paths between two points. The magnitude of a force multiplied by the cosine of the angle that the force makes...

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

GTPases and their Regulation02:14

GTPases and their Regulation

9.9K
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins), also known as GTPases, are a superfamily of proteins that regulate many cellular processes, such as cell signaling, vesicular transport, and the regulation of cell shape and motility. Mutation or dysfunction of these proteins can lead to disease. There are around 40,000 known G-proteins that can broadly be classified into two groups ‒  small G-proteins consisting of a single domain and large multi-domain G-proteins.
Large G-proteins,...

Regulated Protein Degradation02:58

Regulated Protein Degradation

8.9K
It is vital to regulate the activity of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic proteins inside the cell. This can be achieved either through creating a balance between their rate of synthesis and degradation or regulating the intrinsic activity of the protein. Both these regulation mechanisms play an essential role in the normal functioning of cells.
Protein degradation plays two important roles in the cells. It helps to protect cells from misfolded or damaged proteins before they lead to a...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Gene Regulation
  • Cellular Signaling

Background:

  • Dicer is essential for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, processing precursors into mature miRNAs that regulate human gene expression.
  • Understanding Dicer regulation is key to comprehending cellular processes and disease mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify novel Dicer-interacting proteins.
  • To investigate the functional consequences of Dicer-TWEAK interaction on miRNA biogenesis and function.

Main Methods:

  • Yeast two-hybrid (Y2HB) screen using human Dicer's double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD).
  • Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy to assess protein colocalization.
  • Coimmunoprecipitation to confirm protein-protein interaction.
  • In vitro Dicer activity assays and reporter gene assays to evaluate functional impact.

Main Results:

  • The yeast two-hybrid screen identified Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis (TWEAK) as a Dicer-interacting protein.
  • Dicer and TWEAK were found to colocalize in the perinuclear region of HeLa cells, with interaction confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation.
  • TWEAK dose-dependently inhibited the conversion of pre-microRNA to mature microRNA and impaired microRNA-guided gene silencing.

Conclusions:

  • TWEAK directly interacts with Dicer and negatively regulates its enzymatic activity.
  • TWEAK's regulation of Dicer suggests a role in controlling microRNA biogenesis.
  • This interaction may link inflammatory processes mediated by TWEAK to gene expression regulation via the microRNA pathway.
