Calmodulin-dependent Signaling01:16

Calmodulin-dependent Signaling

5.2K
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

7.4K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.6K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

2.9K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

3.7K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

5.9K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Defects in nucleic acid enzymes trigger inflammatory diseases. In SAMHD1-deficient mice, chronic DNA damage impacts survival, with the MDA5/MAVS pathway driving interferon responses, requiring cGAS/STING priming.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Defects in nucleic acid metabolizing enzymes can activate cGAS/STING or RLR signaling, leading to type I interferonopathies.
  • Tonic type I interferon signaling is crucial for priming nucleic acid sensing pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of SAMHD1 deficiency and chronic DNA damage in innate immune priming and disease pathogenesis.
  • To elucidate the interplay between cGAS/STING, MDA5/MAVS, and tonic interferon signaling in the context of DNA damage.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized SAMHD1-deficient mice, crossed with p53-deficient or DNA mismatch repair-deficient backgrounds.
  • Assessed tumor-free survival and type I interferon levels.
  • Investigated the involvement of cGAS/STING and MDA5/MAVS pathways in interferon responses.

Main Results:

  • Low-level chronic DNA damage in SAMHD1-deficient mice reduced tumor-free survival in a p53-dependent manner.
  • Increased DNA damage did not elevate type I interferon levels.
  • Chronic interferon response was mediated by MDA5/MAVS but required cGAS/STING pathway priming.

Conclusions:

  • cGAS/STING pathway acts upstream of tonic interferon signaling in SAMHD1-deficient mice.
  • Highlights the critical role of cGAS/STING in both physiological and pathophysiological innate immune priming.
  • SAMHD1 deficiency and chronic DNA damage create a unique inflammatory environment impacting immune responses.
