Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.5K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators02:04

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

6.8K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

6.3K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

3.5K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

8.9K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The oncoprotein SE translocation (SET) is overexpressed in various cancers, correlating with poor patient prognosis.
  • Targeting SET is a promising cancer intervention strategy, but its regulatory mechanisms are unclear.
  • Understanding SET regulation is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify proteins that regulate the oncoprotein SET.
  • To investigate the role of ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) in SET regulation.
  • To elucidate the interaction between USP7 and SET.

Main Methods:

  • Tandem affinity purification-mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) to identify interacting proteins.
  • Co-immunoprecipitation and Western blotting to confirm protein complex formation.
  • USP7 knockdown experiments to assess effects on SET levels.

Main Results:

  • USP7 forms a stable complex with SET in cancer cells.
  • The acidic domain of SET binds USP7; USP7's catalytic and UBL domains are required for binding.
  • USP7 knockdown increases SET protein levels without affecting SET mRNA, indicating post-transcriptional regulation.
  • USP7 is identified as the first deubiquitinase (DUB) to associate with SET.

Conclusions:

  • USP7 destabilizes oncoprotein SET, likely via an indirect mechanism.
  • USP7 plays a novel regulatory role in controlling SET protein stability.
  • This interaction presents a potential new therapeutic target for cancers involving SET overexpression.
