The human tumor antigen PRAME (Preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma) is frequently overexpressed in tumors. High PRAME levels correlate with poor clinical outcome of several cancers, but the mechanisms by which PRAME could be involved in tumorigenesis remain largely elusive. We applied prote...

Current models imply that the FERM domain protein Merlin, encoded by the tumor suppressor NF2, inhibits mitogenic signaling at or near the plasma membrane. Here, we show that the closed, growth inhibitory form of Merlin accumulates in the nucleus, binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1, and supp...

MLL-fusions are potent oncogenes that initiate aggressive forms of acute leukemia. As aberrant transcriptional regulators, MLL-fusion proteins alter gene expression in hematopoietic cells through interactions with the histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase DOT1L. Notably, interference with M...

Deregulated expression of MYC is a driver of colorectal carcinogenesis, necessitating novel strategies to inhibit MYC function. The ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 (HECTH9, ARFBP1, MULE) associates with both MYC and the MYC-associated protein MIZ1. We show here that HUWE1 is required for growth of colorecta...

In the 1950s the drug thalidomide administered as a sedative to pregnant women led ot the birth of thousands of children with multiple defects. Despite its teratogenicity, thalidomide and ist IMiD derivatives recently emerged as effective treatments for multiple myeloma and 5q-dysplasia. IMiDs targe...

Intracellular pathogen infection leads to proteotoxic stress in host organisms. Previously we described a physiological program in the nematode C. elegans called the Intracellular Pathogen Response (IPR), which promotes resistance to proteotoxic stress and appears to be distinct from canonical prote...

Systemic scleroderma (SSc) is an autoimmune disease which results in fibrotic production in the lung. Resultant SSC-pulmonary fibrosis is the main cause of mortality among SSc patients. From high throughput RNAi screening, we uncovered the ubiquitin E3 ligase KLHL42 as a potential pro-fibrotic media...

Activation of plant immunity is associated with dramatic transcriptome reprogramming to prioritise immune responses over normal cellular functions. Changes in gene expression are coordinated by the immune hormone salicylic acid (SA). Here we investigated the involvement of the HECT-type ligase Ubiqu...

Purpose of profiling experiment was to examine effects of a mutation of a subunit of TFIIH, ssl1p, which has ubiquitin ligase activity.,The whole complex has previously been shown to have both kinase and helicase activities. We wanted to see if 1) there were,general transcriptional defects with the...
