A dual role for FADD in human T-cell lymphoblastic neo-plasms

ABSTRACT: In this study, we set out to get insight into the clinical implications of FADD expres-sion in T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms, and to explore the landscape of deregulated cell signaling events in human T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms, taking FADD expression as the defining variable.

A reduction in <i>FADD</i> levels has been reported in precursor T-cell neoplasms and other tumor types. Such reduction would impact on the ability of tumor cells to undergo apoptosis and has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, FADD is also known to participate in non-apoptotic functions, but these mechanisms are not well-understood. Linking FADD expression to the severity of precursor T-cell neoplasms could indicate its use as a prognostic marker and may open new avenues for t ...[more]

Project description:Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) is one of the main fungal species found in grapevine wood rot, also called “amadou”, one of the most typical symptoms of grapevine trunk disease Esca. This fungus is functionally classified as a white-rot, able to degrade all wood structure polymers, i.e., hemicelluloses, cellulose, and the most recalcitrant component, lignin. Specific enzymes are secreted by the fungus to degrade those components, namely carbohydrate active enzymes for hemicelluloses and cellulose, which can be highly specific for given polysaccharide, and peroxidases, which enable white-rot to degrade lignin, with specificities relating to lignin composition as well. Furthermore, besides polymers, a highly diverse set of metabolites often associated with antifungal activities is found in wood, this set differing among the various wood species. Wood decayers possess the ability to detoxify these specific extractives and this ability could reflect the adaptation of these fungi to their specific environment. The aim of this study is to better understand the molecular mechanisms used by Fmed to degrade wood structure, and in particular its potential adaptation to grapevine wood. To do so, Fmed was cultivated on sawdust from different origins: grapevine, beech, and spruce. Carbon mineralization rate, mass loss, wood structure polymers contents, targeted metabolites and secreted proteins were measured. We used the well-known white-rot model Trametes versicolor for comparison. Whereas no significant degradation was observed with spruce, a higher mass loss was measured on Fmed grapevine culture compared to beech culture. Moreover, on both substrates, a simultaneous degradation pattern and the degradation of wood extractives were demonstrated, and proteomic analyses identified a relative overproduction of oxidoreductases involved in lignin and extractive degradation on grapevine cultures, and only few differences in carbohydrate active enzymes. These results could explain at least partially the adaptation of Fmed to grapevine wood structural composition compared to other wood species and suggest that other biotic and abiotic factors should be considered to fully understand the potential adaptation of Fmed to its ecological niche.

Project description:Pyruvate oxidase encoded by spxB is a major virulence factor in the human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. During aerobic growth, SpxB synthesizes large amounts of H2O2 and acetyl phosphate, which can serve as a phosphoryl group donor to response regulators and be converted to ATP. SpxB is the main source of the millimolar concentrations of H2O2 produced and tolerated by pneumococcus, despite its lack of a catalase. We report here the first cis- and trans-acting regulatory elements for spxB transcription. These elements were identified in a genetic screen, similar to those used previously for phase variants, for spontaneous mutations that caused colonies of virulent serotype 2 strain D39 to change from a transparent to an opaque appearance. Six of the seven opaque colonies recovered (frequency of 3 x 10-5) were impaired for SpxB function. Modeling suggested that two mutations changed amino acids in SpxB required for FAD cofactor or subunit binding. One mutation deleted a cis-acting adjacent direct repeat required for optimal spxB transcription. The other three independent mutations created the same frameshift near the start of a trans-acting regulatory gene designated as spxR. The SpxR protein contains helix-turn-helix, CBS, and HotDog domains implicated in DNA, adenosine, and CoA compound binding, respectively, consistent with the idea that SpxR positively regulates spxB transcript amount in response to energy and metabolic state rather than oxidative state. Finally, microarray analyses of a null spxB or a spxR mutant revealed the presence of a new oxidative stress response in pneumococcus and unexpectedly demonstrated that SpxR strongly positively regulates the transcript amount of the strH exoglycosidase gene, which like spxB, has been implicated in host colonization. Keywords: genetic modification Bacterial strains were grown exponentially in rich (BHI) media at 37C and an atmosphere of 5% CO2, and were processed as described in the related Sample records. Samples were collected from three independent biological replicates and included one dye swap. Data were normalized using the Lowess (subgrid) method without background subtraction.

Project description:Cilia assembly, maintenance and the localization of signal-transduction proteins necessitate a functioning intraflagellar transport (IFT). The IFT machinery moves cargo along a microtubule scaffold from the proximal to the distal end of the cilium. This anterograde transport is facilitated by a large multiprotein complex IFT-B, which consists of 16 proteins in total and recruits motor protein Kinesin-2 for active movement. TTC30A and TTC30B are integral components of this complex and were shown before to have redundant function in context of IFT. One paralogue could compensate the loss of the other, preventing the disruption of IFT-B and thus a severe ciliogenesis defect with no formation of the cilium. Affinity-based protein complex analysis of endogenously tagged cells, generated via CRISPR/Cas9 system as described before, revealed paralogue specific protein interactors proposing the involvement of TTC30A or TTC30B in other ciliary functions, particularly Sonic hedgehog signaling (Shh). Defects in this ciliary signaling pathway are often correlated to synpolydactyly, which intriguingly is also linked to a rare TTC30 variant. In this study we focus on the so far unknown interaction of TTC30A with protein kinase A catalytic subunit α PRKACA, which is a negative regulator of Shh pathway. For an in-depth analysis of this unique interaction and the influence on Shh, we used previously, via the CRISPR/Cas9 system, generated TTC30A or B single- and double-knockout hTERT-RPE1 cells as well as rescue cells harboring the TTC30 mutation. Our systematic approach revealed the paralogue specific influence of TTC30A KO and mutated TTC30A on the activity of PRKACA as well as the uptake of Smoothened into the cilium resulting in a downregulation of Sonic hedgehog signaling. Affinity-based protein complex analysis of wildtype versus mutated TTC30A or TTC30B uncovered differences in interaction pattern. These interactome alterations combined with Shh downregulation suggest a possible mechanism of how mutant TTC30A and respectively TTC30A KO are linked to synpolydactyly.
