Project description:Cop1 regulates stability of transcription factors. We determined the role of Cop1 in the regulation of Cebpd transciptional output. We generated 4T1breast cancer cells with CRISPR/Cas9 mediated Cop1 (gene symbol RFWD2) knockout. We treated control sgRosa26 and sgCop1 cells with vehicle or IFNgamma (20ng/ml) for 24 hours and did ATAC-seq.

Project description:Our study defines the E3 ligase COP1 as a positive modulator of ERalpha-dependent gene transcription. We carried our RNA-Seq experiments with total RNAs from control or COP1-depleted MCF7 cells treated or not with estrogens and identified a signature of genes known to be regulated by estrogens whose transcription is deregulated upon COP1 deficiency.

Project description:Dysregulated microglia are intimately involved in neurodegeneration including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, but the mechanisms controlling pathogenic microglial gene expression remain poorly understood. The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (c/EBPß) regulates pro-inflammatory genes in microglia and is upregulated in AD. We show expression of c/EBPß in microglia is regulated post-translationally by the ubiquitin ligase COP1 (also called RFWD2). Ubiquitination of c/EBPß by COP1 targets it for proteasomal degradation. In the absence of COP1, c/EBPß accumulates rapidly and drives a potent pro-inflammatory and ApoE gene-expression program, evidenced by increased neurotoxicity in microglia-neuronal co-cultures. Antibody blocking studies reveal that neurotoxicity is almost entirely attributable to complement. Remarkably, loss of a single allele of Cebpb prevented the pro-inflammatory phenotype. COP1-deficient microglia markedly accelerated tau-mediated neurodegeneration in a mouse model where elevated ApoE plays a deleterious role. Collectively, these results identify c/EBPß as a potential therapeutic target for inflammation-driven neurodegeneration.

Project description:The proto-oncogenes ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5 encode members of the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor family, which includes the most frequently rearranged and overexpressed genes in prostate cancer. Despite being critical regulators of development, little is known about their post-translational regulation. Here we identify the ubiquitin ligase COnstitutive Photomorphogenic-1 (COP1, also called RFWD2) as a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5. ETV1, which is the member mutated more frequently in prostate cancer, was degraded after being ubiquitinated by COP1. Truncated ETV1 encoded by prostate cancer translocation TMPRSS2:ETV1 lacks the critical COP1 binding motifs (degrons) and was 50-fold more stable than wild-type ETV1. Almost all patient translocations eliminate these ETV1 degrons, implying that translocations rendering ETV1 insensitive to COP1 confer a significant selective advantage to prostate epithelial cells. Indeed, COP1 deficiency in mouse prostate elevated ETV1 levels and produced increased cell proliferation, hyperplasia, and early prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. The combined loss of COP1 and PTEN enhanced the invasiveness of mouse prostate adenocarcinomas. Finally, relatively rare human prostate cancer samples showed hemizygous loss of the COP1 gene, loss of COP1 protein expression, and abnormally elevated ETV1 protein while lacking a translocation event. These findings identify COP1 as a bona fide tumor suppressor whose down-regulation promotes prostatic epithelial cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. LNCap prostate cancer cell line were treated with 5 different sets of siRNAs: (1) control siRNA; (2) COP1 (RFWD2) siRNA; (3) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA; (4) COP1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA; (5) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA. The experiments were conducted in two batches; each batch has its own control siRNA group, so that the batch effect can be properly modelled. Each group has 4-6 replicates; there are 31 samples in total.

Project description:COP1 regulates MAP kinase dependent stability Pea3 transcription factors. We determined the role of COP1 in the regulation of MAP kianse transciptional output. We generated A375 melanoma cells with CRISPR/Cas9 mediated COP1 (gene symbol RFWD) knockout. We treated control sgEGFP and COP1 loss sgCOP1 cells with vehicle, 1 µM vemurafinib, or 5 nM trametinib for 8 hours and isolated RNA for sequencing.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq of lungs from control and Rfwd2 epithelial-specific conditional knockout mice at embryonic 13.5 day age. RFWD2, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that modifies specific target proteins, priming their degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Rfwd2 deficiency led to a striking halt in branching morphogenesis shortly after secondary branch formation. In the mutant lung, two ETS transcript factors essential for normal lung branching, ETV4 and ETV5, were upregulated at the protein, but not transcript level. Introduction of Etv loss-of-function alleles into the Rfwd2 mutant background attenuated the branching phenotype, suggesting that RFWD2 functions at least in part through degrading ETV proteins. As a number of E3 ligases are known to target factors important for lung development, our findings provides a preview of a protein-level regulatory network essential for lung branching morphogenesis.
