Histone H3 serine 10 phosphorylation by Aurora B causes HP1 dissociation from heterochromatin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Histones are subject to numerous post-translational modifications. Some of these 'epigenetic' marks recruit proteins that modulate chromatin structure. For example, heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) binds to histone H3 when its lysine 9 residue has been tri-methylated by the methyltransferase Suv39h (refs 2-6). During mitosis, H3 is also phosphorylated by the kinase Aurora B. Although H3 phosphorylation is a hallmark of mitosis, its function remains mysterious. It has been proposed that histone phosphorylation controls the binding of proteins to chromatin, but any such mechanisms are unknown. Here we show that antibodies against mitotic chromosomal antigens that are associated with human autoimmune diseases specifically recognize H3 molecules that are modified by both tri-methylation of lysine 9 and phosphorylation of serine 10 (H3K9me3S10ph). The generation of H3K9me3S10ph depends on Suv39h and Aurora B, and occurs at pericentric heterochromatin during mitosis in different eukaryotes. Most HP1 typically dissociates from chromosomes during mitosis, but if phosphorylation of H3 serine 10 is inhibited, HP1 remains chromosome-bound throughout mitosis. H3 phosphorylation by Aurora B is therefore part of a 'methyl/phos switch' mechanism that displaces HP1 and perhaps other proteins from mitotic heterochromatin. 相似文献

Summary Chlamydocin, a potent cytostatic agent against cultured mammalian cells, and HC-toxin, a host-specific phytotoxin, are cyclic tetrapeptides containing the same epoxide -amino acid. We show here that these compounds have reciprocal biological activity; HC-toxin is cytostatic against cultured mastocytoma cells, and chlamydocin has host-specific toxin activity against maize. Chlamydocin and another related cyclic peptide, Cyl-2, are less host-specific than HC-toxin because maize tolerant to HC-toxin is more sensitive to chlamydocin and Cyl-2. 相似文献

This paper describes multi-view modeling and data model transformation for the modeling. We have proposed a reference model of CAD system generation, which can be applied to various domain-specific languages. However, the current CAD system generation cannot integrate data of multiple domains. Generally each domain has its own view of products. For example, in the domain of architectural structure, designers extract the necessary data from the data in architecture design. Domain experts translate one view into another view beyond domains using their own brains. The multi-view modeling is a way to integrate product data of multiple domains, and make it possible to translate views among various domains by computers. 相似文献

Two pteridine-containing bromophysostigmine alkaloids, urochordamine A and B, which were isolated from ascidians as larval metamorphosis promoters, were converted to more polar compounds, urochordamine A and B, respectively, when left standing in protic solvents. These four compounds promoted larval metamorphosis of the ascidianHalocynthia roretzi in the order A>A>B>B, and induced metamorphosis of the pediveliger larvae of the musselMytilus edulis galloprovincialis. 相似文献

We carried out a multistage genome-wide association study of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Japanese individuals, with a total of 1,612 cases and 1,424 controls and 100,000 SNPs. The most significant association was obtained with SNPs in KCNQ1, and dense mapping within the gene revealed that rs2237892 in intron 15 showed the lowest Pvalue (6.7 x 10(-13), odds ratio (OR) = 1.49). The association of KCNQ1 with type 2 diabetes was replicated in populations of Korean, Chinese and European ancestry as well as in two independent Japanese populations, and meta-analysis with a total of 19,930 individuals (9,569 cases and 10,361 controls) yielded a P value of 1.7 x 10(-42) (OR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.34-1.47) for rs2237892. Among control subjects, the risk allele of this polymorphism was associated with impairment of insulin secretion according to the homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function or the corrected insulin response. Our data thus implicate KCNQ1 as a diabetes susceptibility gene in groups of different ancestries. 相似文献

Here we show that a small GTPase, Rab32, is a novel protein required for the formation of autophagic vacuoles. We found that
the wild-type or GTP-bound form of human Rab32 expressed in HeLa and COS cells is predominantly localized to the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER), and overexpression induces the formation of autophagic vacuoles containing an autophagosome marker protein
LC3, the ER-resident protein calnexin and endosomal/lysosomal membrane protein LAMP-2, even under nutrient-rich conditions.
The recruitment of Rab32 to the ER membrane was necessary for autophagic vacuole formation, suggesting involvement of the
ER as a source of autophagosome membranes. In contrast, the expression of the inactive form of, or siRNA-specific for, Rab32
caused the formation of p62/SQSTM1 and ubiquitinated protein-accumulating aggresome-like structures and significantly prevented
constitutive autophagy. We postulate that Rab32 facilitates the formation of autophagic vacuoles whose membranes are derived
from the ER and regulates the clearance of aggregated proteins by autophagy.
