ATF-1 is a hypoxia-responsive transcriptional activator of skeletal muscle uncoupling protein 3

Hypoxia induces oxidative damage in skeletal muscle. Uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) is the skeletal muscle enriched uncoupling protein and has previously been shown to confer resistance against oxidative stress. We show that hypoxia robustly upregulates...

STAT5b, c-Src, and EGFR Signaling Play Integral Roles in Estrogen-Stimulated Proliferation of ER-Positive Breast Cancer Cells

17beta-estradiol (E2) acts through the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) to stimulate breast cancer proliferation. Here, we investigated the functional relationship between ERalpha and STAT5b activity in ER+ MCF-7 and T47D human breast cancer cells...

STAP-2 negatively regulates both canonical and non-canonical NF-kappaB activation induced by Epstein-Barr virus-derived LMP1

Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that contains pleckstrin homology (PH) and Src homology 2 (SH2)-like domains, as well as a proline-rich domain in its C-terminal region. In previous studies, we...

Acetylation of PML is involved in histone deacetylase Inhibitor-mediated apoptosis

The promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a potent tumor suppressor and proapoptotic factor, and is functionally regulated by posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, sumoylation, and ubiquitination. Histone deacetylase (HDAC)...

Phosphorylation of Profilin by ROCK1 Regulates Polyglutamine Aggregation

Y-27632, an inhibitor of the Rho-associated kinase ROCK, is a therapeutic lead for Huntington disease (HD). The downstream targets that mediate its inhibitory effects on huntingtin (Htt) aggregation and toxicity are unknown. We have identified...

An oncogenic role for the phosphorylated h-subunit of human translation initiation factor eIF3

Dysregulation of protein synthesis has been implicated in oncogenesis through a mechanism whereby "weak" mRNAs encoding proteins involved in cell proliferation are strongly translated when the protein synthesis apparatus is activated. Previous work...

Modulation of T cell activation by stomatin-like protein 2

T cell activation through the Ag receptor (TCR) requires sustained signaling from signalosomes within lipid raft microdomains in the plasma membrane. In a proteomic analysis of lipid rafts from human T cells, we identified stomatin-like protein...

CREB, ATF, and AP-1 transcription factors regulate IFN-gamma secretion by human T cells in response to mycobacterial antigen

IFN-gamma production by T cells is pivotal for defense against many pathogens, and the proximal promoter of IFN-gamma, -73 to -48 bp upstream of the transcription start site, is essential for its expression. However, transcriptional regulation...

IFN regulatory factor-1 negatively regulates CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cell differentiation by repressing Foxp3 expression

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are critical in inducing and maintaining tolerance. Despite progress in understanding the basis of immune tolerance, mechanisms and molecules involved in the generation of Treg cells remain poorly understood. IFN regulatory...

Acquisition of suppressive function by activated human CD4+ CD25- T cells is associated with the expression of CTLA-4 not FoxP3

The role of CTLA-4 in regulatory T cell (Treg) function is not well understood. We have examined the role of CTLA-4 and its relationship with the transcription factor FoxP3 using a model of Treg induction in human peripheral blood. Activation of...
